This paper investigates a multi-objective capacitated solid transportation problem (MOCSTP) in an uncertain environment, where all the parameters are taken as zigzag uncertain variables. To deal with the uncertain MOCSTP model, the expected value model (EVM) and optimistic value model (OVM) are developed with the help of two different ranking criteria of uncertainty theory. Using the key fundamentals of uncertainty, these two models are transformed into their relevant deterministic forms which are further converted into a single-objective model using two solution approaches: minimizing distance method and fuzzy programming technique with linear membership function. Thereafter, the Lingo 18.0 optimization tool is used to solve the single-objective problem of both models to achieve the Pareto-optimal solution. Finally, numerical results are presented to demonstrate the application and algorithm of the models. To investigate the variation in the objective function, the sensitivity of the objective functions in the OVM model is also examined with respect to the confidence levels.

In this paper, a multi-objective faculty course allocation problem with result analysis and feedback analysis based on uncertain preferences mathematical model is presented. To deal with an uncertain model, three different ranking criteria are being used to develop: a) Expected value, b) Optimistic value, c) Dependent optimistic value criterion. These mathematical models are transformed into their corresponding deterministic forms using the basic concepts of uncertainty theory. The deterministic model of DOCM consists of fractional objectives which are converted into their linear form using Charnes and Cooper’s transformation. These deterministic formulations MOFCAP are converted into a single objective problem by using the fuzzy programming technique with linear and exponential membership functions. Further, the single objective problem for all the defined models is solved in the Lingo 18.0 software to derive the Pareto-optimal solution. The sensitivity of the models is also performed to examine the variation in the objective function due to the variation in parameters. Finally, a numerical example is given to exhibit the application and algorithm of the models.

When we talk of optimization in industry we need to pay attention in searching for very powerful and flexible optimization techniques. One of such techniques which has attracted the interest of many researchers in the last few decades is called geometric programming that provides a powerful tool for solving nonlinear problems. As we know in the real world, many applications of geometric programming are engineering design problems. Generally, engineering design problems deal with multi-objective functions, in which their objectives are often in conflicts with each other. This paper considers a solution method when the cost, the constraint coefficients, and the right-hand sides in the multi-objective geometric programming problems are imprecise and represented as interval values. This problem is reduced with the method of weighted sum to a single objective function and further by applying interval-valued function, we solve the problem by geometric programming technique. The ability of calculating the bounds of the objective value developed in this paper might help lead to more realistic modeling efforts in engineering optimization areas. Finally a numerical example is given to illustrate the methodology of solution and efficiency of the present approach.
