Abstract
In this chapter we will introduce the most popular and most frequently used solution methods for deterministic discrete MCDA problems. In deterministic models the evaluations of the alternatives, the criteria weights and all other parameters are assumed to be certain and known. Models with uncertainty will be discussed later in Chap. 7.
