Nonlinear programming problems are considered where the objective function involves several ratios. We review recent results concerning three classes of multi-ratio fractional programs: 1) maximization of a sum of ratios, 2) maximization of the smallest of several ratios, and 3) multiobjective fractional programs. In addition to these results open problems are addressed as well.
