A very useful multi-objective technique is goal programming. There are many methodologies of goal programming such as weighted goal programming, min-max goal programming, and lexicographic goal programming. In this paper, weighted goal programming is reformulated as goal programming with logarithmic deviation variables. Here, a comparison of the proposed method and goal programming with weighte...

this paper presents a fuzzy goal programming (fgp) methodology for solving bi-level quadratic programming (blqp) problems. in the fgp model formulation, firstly the objectives are transformed into fuzzy goals (membership functions) by means of assigning an aspiration level to each of them, and suitable membership function is defined for each objectives, and also the membership functions for vec...

This paper presents fuzzy goal programming approach for bilevel linear fractional programming problem with a single decision maker at the upper level and a single decision maker at the lower level. Here, each level has single objective function, which are fractional in nature and the system constraints are linear functions. In the proposed approach, we first construct fractional membership func...

In this paper, we integrate goal programming (GP), Taylor Series, Kuhn-Tucker conditions and Penalty Function approaches to solve linear fractional bi-level programming (LFBLP)problems. As we know, the Taylor Series is having the property of transforming fractional functions to a polynomial. In the present article by Taylor Series we obtain polynomial objective functions which are equivalent to...

In this paper, we considered a Stochastic Interval-Valued Linear Fractional Programming problem(SIVLFP). In this problem, the coefficients and scalars in the objective function are fractional-interval, and technological coefficients and the quantities on the right side of the constraints were random variables with the specific distribution. Here we changed a Stochastic Interval-Valued Fractiona...

in a region, optimal allocation of lands to various agricultural products is one of the most important issue associated with optimal use of agricultural resources. meta-goal programming is one of the multiple criteria decision models. this programming provides more flexible decisions for decision makers than other goal programming. in the current study, optimal cropping pattern was determined u...

In this paper we upgraded the Luhandjula’s method (Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 13(1), (1984), 11-23) for multiple objective linear plus fractional programming problems (MOL+FPP) with modification given by Dutta et al. (Fuzzy Sets and System, 52(1), (1992), 39-45). The aim of this paper is to show new fuzzy set approach for MOL+FPP by defining new membership function for linear function part and si...
