However, no general approaches for the definition of efficient solutions to this problem class are available in the literature for the multicriteria case. The objective of this paper is to find a meaningful definition that in particular allows the computation of solutions. By combining well-known approaches from multicriteria optimization and robust optimization in a straightforward way, we give different definitions for efficient solutions to MARO problems and look at three computation-oriented approaches to deal with the problems. These computation-oriented approaches can also be understood as additional efficiency definitions. We assess the advantages and disadvantages of the different computation-oriented approaches and analyze their connections to our initial definitions of MARO-efficiency. We observe that an ɛ-constraint inspired first-scalarize-then-robustify approach is beneficial because it provides an efficient set that is easy to understand for decision makers and provides tight bounds on the worst-case evaluation for a particular efficient solution. In contrast, a weighted sum first-scalarize-then-robustify approach keeps the problem structure more simple but the efficient set might look ambiguous. Further, we demonstrate that a first-robustify procedure only gives bad bounds and can be too optimistic as well as too pessimistic.entrueAdjustable robust optimizationMulticriteria optimizationRobust optimizationjournal article
