Quadratic programming (QP) is an optimization problem wherein one minimizes (or maximizes) a quadratic function of a finite number of decision variable subject to a finite number of linear inequality and/ or equality constraints. In this paper, a quadratic programming problem (FFQP) is considered in which all cost coefficients, constraints coefficients, and right hand side are characterized by ...

Title of thesis: TWO APPLICATIONS INVOLVING THE ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS Brian David Alford, Master of Science, 2004 Thesis directed by: Professor Bruce Golden Department of Decision and Information Technologies The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a popular tool used in decision making for ranking alternatives based on quantitative and qualitative criteria. In this thesis, we investigate ...

This paper proposes a new method for solving fuzzy system of linear equations with crisp coefficients matrix and fuzzy or interval right hand side. Some conditions for the existence of a fuzzy or interval solution of m × n linear system are derived and also a practical algorithm is introduced in detail. The method is based on linear programming problem. Finally the applicability of the proposed...
