This paper is concerned with a class of fully fuzzy bilevel linear programming problems where all the coefficients and decision variables of both objective functions and the constraints are fuzzy numbers. A new approach based on deviation degree measures and a ranking function method is proposed to solve these problems. We first introduce concepts of the feasible region and the fuzzy optimal solution of a fully fuzzy bilevel linear programming problem. In order to obtain a fuzzy optimal solution of the problem, we apply deviation degree measures to deal with the fuzzy constraints and use a ranking function method of fuzzy numbers to rank the upper and lower level fuzzy objective functions. Then the fully fuzzy bilevel linear programming problem can be transformed into a deterministic bilevel programming problem. Considering the overall balance between improving objective function values and decreasing allowed deviation degrees, the computational procedure for finding a fuzzy optimal solution is proposed. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the proposed approach. The results indicate that the proposed approach gives a better optimal solution in comparison with the existing method.

The aim of this paper is to suggest a solution procedure to fractional programming problem based on new ranking function (RF) with triangular fuzzy number (TFN) based on alpha cuts sets of fuzzy numbers. In the present procedure the linear fractional programming (LFP) problems is converted into linear programming problems. We concentrate on linear programming problem problems in which the coefficients of objective function are fuzzy numbers, the right- hand side are fuzzy numbers too, then solving these linear programming problems by using a new ranking function. The obtained linear programming problem can be solved using win QSB program (simplex method) which yields an optimal solution of the linear fractional programming problem. Illustrated examples and comparisons with previous approaches are included to evince the feasibility of the proposed approach.

This paper mainly focuses on a new approach to find an optimal solution of a fuzzy linear programming problem with the help of Fuzzy Dynamic Programming. Linear programming deals with the optimization of a function of variables called an objective function, subject to a set of linear inequalities called constraints. The objective function may be maximizing the profit or minimizing the cost or any other measure of effectiveness subject to constraints imposed by supply, demand, storage capacity, etc., Moreover, it is known that fuzziness prevails in all fields. Hence, a general linear programming problem with fuzzy parameters is considered where the variables are taken as Triangular Fuzzy Numbers. The solution is obtained by the method of FDP by framing fuzzy forward and fuzzy backward recursive equations. It is observed that the solutions obtained by both the equations are the same. This approach is illustrated with a numerical example. This feature of the proposed approach eliminates the imprecision and fuzziness in LPP models. The application of Fuzzy set theory in the field of dynamic Programming is called Fuzzy Dynamic Programming.
