Abstract: We study optimization problems extended by a flexible objective, namely the Ordered Median Function (OMF). The OMF incorporates a large number of objectives into one function. Concrete objectives are given by choosing values for a parameter vector. Using optimization problems extended by the OMF, only one model, solution algorithm and implementation is necessary to analyze many concrete objectives.
