Bilevel linear programming  is a decision making problem with a two-level decentralized organization. The textquotedblleft leadertextquotedblright~ is in the upper level and the textquotedblleft followertextquotedblright, in the lower. Making a decision at one level affects that at the other one. In this paper, bilevel linear programming  with inexact parameters has been studied and a method is...

in this paper the real-world occurrence of the multiple-product multiple-constraint single period newsboy problem with two objectives, in which there is incremental discounts on the purchasing prices, is investigated. the constraints are the warehouse capacity and the batch forms of the order placements. the first objective of this problem is to find the order quantities such that the expected ...

in this research, we address the application of uncertaintyprogramming to design a multi-site, multi-product, multi-period,closed-loop supply chain (clsc) network. in order to make theresults of this article more realistic, a clsc for a case study inthe iron and steel industry has been explored. the presentedsupply chain covers three objective functions: maximization ofprofit, minimization of n...

‎linear semi-infinite programming problem is an important class of optimization problems which deals with infinite constraints‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎to solve this problem‎, ‎we combine a discretization method and a neural network method‎. ‎by a simple discretization of the infinite constraints,we convert the linear semi-infinite programming problem into linear programming problem‎. ‎then‎, ‎we use...

generally, an engineering design problem has multiple objective functions. some of these problems can be formulated as multiobjective geometric programming models. on the other hand,often in the real world, coefficients of the objective functions are not known precisely. coefficients may be interpreted as fuzzy numbers, which lead to a multiobjective geometric programming with fuzzy parameters....

fuzzy linear programming models and methods has been one ofthe most and well studied topics inside the broad area of soft computing. itsapplications as well as practical realizations can be found in all the real worldareas. in this paper a basic introduction to the main models and methods infuzzy mathematical programming, with special emphasis on those developedby the authors, is presented. as ...

classical deterministic inventory models consider the demand rate to be either constant or time-dependent but independent from the stock status. however, for a certain type of inventory, the demand rate may be in-fluenced by the stock level. also in many real-life problems, some products such as fruits, vegetables, phar-maceuticals and volatile liquids continuously deteriorate to evaporation, o...
