Parametric Objective Function (Part 2)—Generalization

Abstract

In Part 1 (Saaty, T. L., S. I. Gass. 1954. Parametric objective function (Part 1). J. Opns. Res. Soc. Am. 2 316.), the cost function in the general linear programming problem was parametrized with one parameter and the problem of generating solutions completely studied. In Part 2, a generalization to the n -parameter case is outlined, with special emphasis on the two-parameter case. An example is supplied for this case.
