Muhtasari	Multi-Objective Dynamic Programming (MODP) extends Bellman's classical dynamic programming to settings where a decision-maker must optimize several competing objectives simultaneously across a sequence of stages. Rather than a single optimal policy, it produces a Pareto-optimal set of policies — each representing a distinct trade-off profile — by propagating vector-valued value functions backward through the state space.	Multi-Objective Linear Programming (MOLP) extends classical linear programming to handle several conflicting linear objective functions simultaneously over a feasible region defined by linear constraints. Instead of a single optimal solution, MOLP produces a Pareto-efficient frontier from which a decision-maker selects a preferred trade-off. It is foundational to operations research and management science for resource allocation, planning, and design problems with competing goals.
