Description
------------

Multi-objective optimization problems are solved according to the principle of
efficiency: a solution is efficient if no other feasible solution exists that
is better or equal in all objectives, with at least one strict inequality. Each
efficient solution corresponds to a possible compromise among the several
objectives and is potentially relevant to a decision maker. Depending on the
context, the goal is to compute either the set of all efficient solutions, its
image in the objective space, or a representation of that image according to
some measure of interest. The multidimensional nature of these problems raises
relevant mathematical and algorithmic challenges.

The aim of this Special Issue is to collect the latest advances on exact
and approximation methods with quality guarantees for multi-objective
(mixed) integer optimization problems. High-quality contributions that
advance the state-of-the-art for these problems are sought.
