Abstract: A concept of stability is introduced for the Pareto-optimal solutions of a vector-valued problem of the allocation of resources to activities, and characterized by a property which is independent of uncertainties in the efficiency matrix of the allocations. Any feasible solution can be improved by cyclic shifts to give a stable Pareto-optimal solution. The resource allocation problem of the maximization of the sum of the utility returns from the activities and a problem with fuzzy resources and activities are shown to have stable Pareto-optimal solutions.
