A multi-objective optimization approach for invasive species control

In this paper, we formulate and analyse a long-term multi-objective dynamic model for controlling invasive species. This optimization framework is then applied t. The case of buffelgrass control i. The Arizona desert. The proposed model simultaneously optimizes three objectives corresponding to three different valued and threatened resources including saguaros (a native cactus species), buildings and vegetation. The model is used to decid. The optimal allocation of labour to these resources to contro. The population o. The species in a multi-period planning horizon. The computational method to solve this problem is based on multi-objective integer programming.
