Abstract

We present methods to find the shortest path in a network where each path is associated with two objectives. We describe how to obtain the nondominated paths and the extreme nondominated paths, and compare the expected complexity of the methods. An improvement in efficiency can be obtained when quasiconcave or quasiconvex utility functions are assumed. In the first case, we describe how to find the optimal extreme nondominated path and bounds for the optimal path value. Then the optimal path can be located by calculating the k-th shortest path. In the second case we suggest a branch and bound method to solve the problem.
