multi attribute decision making methods are considered as one of the most useful methods for solving ranking problems. in some decision making problems, while the alternatives for corresponding criteria are compared in a pairwise comparison manner, if the criteria are inherently fuzzy, debates will arise in ranking alternatives due to the closeness of the values of the criteria. in this researc...

This paper presents fuzzy goal programming approach for solving multiobjective quadratic programming problem. The problem deals with a decisionmaking unit with multiple objective functions, which are quadratic in nature and the system constraints are linear functions. In the proposed approach, we first formulate the quadratic membership functions by determining best solution of the objective fu...

There are many cases that a nonlinear fractional programming, generated as a result of studying fractional stochastic programming, must be solved. Sometimes an approximate solution may be sufficient enough to start a new process of calculations. To this end, this author introduces a new linear approximation technique for solving a fractional chance constrained programming (CCP) problem. After i...

Narasimhan has incorporated fuzzy set theory within the traditional goal programming formulation since 1980. Since then a lot of research has been carried out in this field. One of the well-known methods for solving fuzzy gaol programming problems was proposed by Hannan. In this talk we apply the conventional MINMAX approach in goal programming to solve fuzzy goal programming problems. We prove...

This paper is comprised of the modeling and optimization of a multi objective linear programming problem in fuzzy environment in which some goals are fractional and some are linear. Here, we present a new approach for its solution by using α-cut of fuzzy numbers. In this proposed method, we first define membership function for goals by introducing non-deviational variables for each of objective...

This paper presents a fuzzy goal programming methodology for solving bilevel programming problems having quadratic fractional form of objectives of the decision makers. In the proposed procedure, the membership functions for the defined fuzzy goals of objective of the decision makers at both levels are developed first. Then a fuzzy goal programming model is developed to minimize the group regre...

This paper presents a fuzzy goal programming (FGP) procedure for solving multilevel programming problems (MLPPs) having chance constraints in large hierarchical decision organizations. In the proposed approach, first the chance constraints of a problem are converted into their respective deterministic equivalent in the decision making context. Then, the objective functions of decision makers (D...

Smartphones are essential personal belongings today. However, smartphone buyers (SBs) often hesitant in deciding what the best and rate plan to choose offered by telecom providers. Among many new smartphones, it is difficult for users most suitable one consideration of reaching salient success aspiration level (SSAL) as close possible, e.g., large battery capacity, avoiding falling below surviv...
