Line 9:
A feasible point <math>x</math> is called ''efficient'' if there is no feasible point <math>y</math> with <math>Px \leq Py</math>, <math>Px \neq Py</math>, where <math>\leq</math> denotes the component-wise ordering.
 
Often in the literature, the aim in multiple objective linear programming is to compute the set of all efficient extremal points.....<ref name="EckerKouada1978">{{cite journal|last1=Ecker|first1=J.

Efficient points are frequently called ''efficient solutions''. This term is misleading because a single efficient point can be already obtained by solving one linear program, such as the linear program with the same feasible set and the objective function being the sum of the objectives of MOLP.<ref name="Ehrgott2015">{{cite book|last1=Ehrgott|first1=M.|title=Multicriteria Optimization|publisher=Springer|year=2005|doi=10.1007/3-540-27659-9|isbn=978-3-540-21398-7|citeseerx=10.1.1.360.5223}}</ref>
