in this paper, the researchers present a multi-objective linear fractional inventory model using fuzzy pro-gramming. the proposed method in this paper is applied to a problem with two objective functions. the re-sulted fuzzy model is transformed into an ordinary linear programming. the implementation of the develop-ing model presented in this paper is demonstrated through the use of some numeri...

in some situations the producers desire to maximize total profit of decision making units (dmus) while the inputs and outputs prices of dmus change from one time period to another. in this paper, the researchers develop productivity index when producers are going to maximize total profit when the price of inputs and outputs are known.the proposed method uses all price information about inputs a...

a procedure is presented that synthesizes fractional crystallization separation processes to obtain pure solids from multi-component solutions. the method includes a procedure to generate a network flow model to identify alternative process designs for fractional crystallization. the main advantage of this systematic procedure with respect to other reported procedures is using non-equilibrium s...

This is a generalization of a fractional programming problem (p = 1) which has been investigated quite actively in the last two decades [21 ]. In [20] many of the results in fractional programming are reviewed and extended. An extensive bibliography is given in [22]. An early application of generalized fractional programming (p > 1) is von Neumann's model of an expanding economy [25]. Here the ...

Exponential penalty function method; Multiobjective fractional programming problem; Convergence Abstract In this paper, we extend the application of exponential penalty function method for solving multiobjective programming problem introduced by Liu and Feng (2010) to solve multiobjective fractional programming problem and analyze the relationship between weak efficient solutions of penalized p...

Amongst various important applications, one important application of nonlinear programming is to maximize or minimize the ratio of two functions, commonly called fractional programming. The characteristics of fractional programming problems have been investigated widely [1, 6, 10] and [13]. In noneconomic situations, fractional programming problems arisen in information theory, stochastic progr...

We study inventorymanagement problemswhere demands are revealed incrementally and procurement decisionsmust bemade before the demands are realized. There are no probabilistic distributions nor nontrivial bounds to characterize demands. We consider two cost minimization problems: (1) perishable products with lost sales and (2) durable products with backlogged demand. In both problems, costs are ...
