An experimental evaluation of the efficacy of four multi-objective linear programming algorithms

Four multi-objective linear programming algorithms are implemented on microcomputer software packages and a large field experiment is conducted using the implemented algorithms. Two new algorithms which incorporate formal models of decision maker behavior are tested along with two established algorithms which include no formal models of decision maker behavior. The new algorithms are shown to outperform the established algorithms.
