Abstract

In this paper, a linear max-min fairness (LMMF) approach using goal programming is proposed. The linear model in this approach is a bi-objective model where the flow is maximized in one objective, and the fairness in flow is maximized for the other objective. This model can be applied to max- min fairness (MMF) problems in networks with applications to multi-commodity flows in networks. The proposed model provides high flexibility for the decision maker to determine the level of throughput and the fairness of flow in the network. The goal of this paper is to find a less-complex approach to find MMF flow in multi-commodity networks. An example is presented to illustrate the methodology.
