In our earlier articles, we proposed two methods for solving the fully fuzzified linear fractional programming (FFLFP) problems. In this paper, we introduce a different approach of evaluating fuzzy inequalities between two triangular fuzzy numbers and solving FFLFP problems. First, using the Charnes-Cooper method, we transform the linear fractional programming problem into a linear one. Second,...

The problem resulting from a goal programming problem with linear fractional criteria is not easy to solve due to the non-linear constraints inherent in its formulation. This paper introduces a simple and reliable test to establish whether a linear fractional goal programming problem has solutions that verify all goals and, if so, how to find them by solving a linear programming problem. This p...

This paper proposes a fuzzy goal programming based on Taylor series for solving decentralized bilevel multiobjective fractional programming (DBLMOFP) problem. In the proposed approach, all of the membership functions are associated with the fuzzy goals of each objective at the both levels and also the fractional membership functions are converted to linear functions using the Taylor series appr...

For some management programming problems, multiple objectives to be optimized rather than a single objective, and objectives can be expressed with ratio equations such as return/investment, operating profit/net-sales, profit/manufacturing cost, etc. In this paper, we proposed the transformation characteristics to solve the multi objective linear fractional programming (MOLFP) problems. If a MOL...

Consider the nonlinear fractional programming problem max{f(x)lg(x)lxES}, where g(x»O for all XES. Jagannathan and Dinkelbach have shown that the maximum of this problem is equal to ~O if and only if max{f(x)-~g(x) IXES} is 0 for ~=~O. 1 t t Based on this result, we treat here a special case: f(x)=Zx Cx+r x+s, g(X)=~ xtDX+ptX+q and S is a polyhedron, where C is negative definite and D is positi...
