Second, the conversion to a single-objective optimization problem involves additional constraints. Third, since most real-world goal programming problems involve nonlinear criterion functions, the ...

The feasible solution is obtained by adapting the goal programming method, in which the weighting factors depending on maximum allowable performance variables and performance sensitivities are used.

This paper describes RiverWare’s optimization capabilities and its use by Tennessee Valley Authority operations schedulers. Input data requirements include (1) physical and economic characteristics of ...
