Management decision making

In the literature of decision analysis it is traditional to rely on the tools provided by probability theory to deal with problems in which uncertainty plays a substantive role.

This book treats the subject of global optimization with minimal restrictions on the behavior on the objective functions.

In vector optimization one investigates optimization problems in an abstract setting which have a not necessarily real-valued objective function.
