a theorem was recently introduced to establish a relationship betweengoal programming and fuzzy programming for vectormaximum problems.in this short note it is shown that the relationship does not exist underall circumstances. the necessary correction is proposed.

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...

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...

the problem of staff scheduling at a truck hub for loading and stripping of the trucks is an important and difficult problem to optimize the labor efficiency and cost. the trucks enter the hub at different hours a day, in different known time schedules and operating hours. in this paper, we propose a goal programming to maximize the labor efficiency via minimizing the allocation cost. the propo...
