Ganesan and Veeramani [Fuzzy linear programs with trapezoidal fuzzy numbers, Annals of Operations Research 143 (2006) 305-315.] proposed a new method for solving a special type of fuzzy linear programming problems. In this paper a new method, named as Mehar’s method, is proposed for solving the same type of fuzzy linear programming problems and it is shown that it is easy to apply the Mehar’s m...

Quadratic programming can be seen both as a general approach to linear programming and a special class of non-linear programming. Moreover, quadratic programming problems are of utmost importance in an increasing variety of practical fields, such as, regression, efficient production and portfolio selection. As ambiguity and vagueness are natural and ever-present in real-life situations requirin...

In the real-world optimization problems, coefficients of the objective function are not known precisely and can be interpreted as fuzzy numbers. In this paper we define the concepts of optimality for linear programming problems with fuzzy parameters (FLP). Then by using the concept of comparison of fuzzy numbers we transform FLP problem into a multiobjective linear programming (MOLP) problem. T...

the linear multiobjective transportation problem is a special type of vector minimum problem in which constraints are all equality type and the objectives are conicting in nature. this paper presents an application of fuzzy goal programming to the linear multiobjective transportation problem. in this paper, we use a special type of nonlinear (hyperbolic and exponential) membership functions to ...

In this paper, the researchers present a multi-objective linear fractional inventory model using fuzzy pro-gramming. The proposed method in this paper is applied to a problem with two objective functions. The re-sulted fuzzy model is transformed into an ordinary linear programming. The implementation of the develop-ing model presented in this paper is demonstrated through the use of some numeri...

Convexity theory and duality theory are important issues in math- ematical programming. Within the framework of credibility theory, this paper rst introduces the concept of convex fuzzy variables and some basic criteria. Furthermore, a convexity theorem for fuzzy chance constrained programming is proved by adding some convexity conditions on the objective and constraint functions. Finally,...

This paper addresses a type of fully fuzzy bilevel linear programming (FFBLP) wherein all the coefficients and decision variables in both the objective function and constraints are triangular fuzzy numbers. This paper proposes a new simple-structured, efficient method for FFBLP problems based on crisp bilevel programming that yields fuzzy optimal solutions with unconstraint variables and parame...

This paper presents a fuzzy goal programming (GP) procedure for solving a multiobjective linear plus linear fractional programming problem. In the proposed approach GP model for achievement of the highest membership value of each of fuzzy goal defined for the linear plus linear fractional objectives is formulated. In the solution process, the method of variable change on the underand overdeviat...
