Abstract

We provide an improved FPTAS for multiobjective shortest paths, a fundamental (NP-hard) problem in multiobjective optimization, along with a new generic method for obtaining FPTAS to any multiobjective optimization problem with non-linear objectives. We show how these results can be used to obtain better approximate solutions to three related problems that have important applications in QoS routing and in traffic optimization.
