In this paper, we review some fuzzy linear programming methods and techniques from a practical point of view. In the rst part, the general history and the approach of fuzzy mathematical programming are introduced. Using a numerical example, some models of fuzzy linear programming are described. In the second part of the paper, fuzzy mathematical programming approaches are compared to stochastic...

This article examines a new approach which solves Linear Programming (LP) problems with stochastic parameters as a generalized model of the fuzzy mathematical model analyzed by Verdegay. An expectation model is provided for solving the problem. A multi-parametric programming is applied to access to a solution with different desired degrees as well as problem constraints. Additionally, we presen...

The pupose of this paper is modeling of Partial Digest Problem (PDP) as a mathematical programming problem. In this paper we present a new viewpoint of PDP. We formulate the PDP as a continuous optimization problem and develope a method to solve this problem. Finally we constract a linear programming model for the problem with an additional constraint. This later model can be solved by the simp...

Nowadays, interval comparison matrices (ICM) take an important role in decision making under uncertainty. So it seems that a brief review on solution methods used in ICM should be useful. In this paper, the common methods are divided into four categories that are Goal Programming Method (GPM), Linear Programming Method (LPM), Non-Linear Programming Method (NLPM) and Statistic Analysis (SA). GPM...

In this paper, an integrated machine scheduling withits due date setting problem has been considered. It is assumed that the machine is subject to some kind of random unavailability. Due dates should be set in an attractive and reliable manner, implying that they should be short and possible to be met. To this end, first, long due dates are penalized in the objective function. Then, for each cu...
