DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) is a technique for evaluating the relative effectiveness of decision-making units (DMU) with multiple inputs and outputs data based on non-parametric modeling using mathematical programming (including linear programming, multi-parameter programming, stochastic programming, etc.). The classical DEA methods are developed to handle the information in the form of cri...

This paper presents a survey on methods for solving fuzzy linear programs. First LP models with soft constraints are discussed. Then LP problems in which coefficients of constraints and/or of the objective function may be fuzzy are outlined. Pivotal questions are the interpretation of the inequality relation in fuzzy constraints and the meaning of fuzzy objectives. In addition to the commonly a...

A new method is proposed to find an optimal intuitionistic fuzzy solution to fully intuitionistic fuzzy linear fractional programming (IFLFP) problem, in which ranking functions are not used. Here, the IFLFP problem is transformed into an equivalent crisp linear fractional programming problem which is then solved by linear programming (LP) technique and / or linear fractional programming techni...

This paper considers a probabilistic inventory model with uniform leadtime demand and fuzzy cost components under probabilistic and imprecise constraints. Firstly we solve the model by general fuzzy non-linear programming technique. Then intuitionistic fuzzy optimization technique is applied and finally, regarding the optimization of the objective function a comparative study is presented among...

The purpose of this paper is to point to the usefulness of applying a linear mathematical formulation of fuzzy multiple criteria objective decision methods in organising business activities. In this respect fuzzy parameters of linear programming are modelled by preference-based membership functions. This paper begins with an introduction and some related research followed by some fundamentals o...

In the real word, there are many problems which have linear programming models and sometimes it is necessary to formulate these models with parameters of uncertainty. Many numbers from these problems are linear programming problems with fuzzy variables. Some authors considered these problems and have developed various methods for solving these problems. Recently, Mahdavi-Amiri and Nasseri (2007...
