In this paper, we have discussed constrained posynomial Multi-Objective Geometric Programming Problem. Here we shall describe the fuzzy optimization technique (through Geometric Programming technique) In order to solve the above multiobjective problem. The solution procedure of the fuzzy technique is illustrated by a numerical example and real life applications.

In this paper, we consider a Multi-Objective Stochastic Interval-Valued Linear Fractional Integer Programming problem (MOSIVLFIP). We especially deal with a multi-objective stochastic fractional problem involving an inequality type of constraints, where all quantities on the right side are log-normal random variables, and the objective functions coefficients are fractional intervals. The proposed solving procedure is divided in three steps. In the first one, the probabilistic constraints are converted into deterministic ones by using the chance constrained programming technique. Then, the second step consists of transforming the studied problem objectives on an optimization problem with an interval-valued objective functions. Finally, by introducing the concept of weighted sum method, the equivalent converted problem obtained from the two first steps is transformed into a single objective deterministic fractional problem. The effectiveness of the proposed procedure is illustrated through a numerical example.

The paper presents the solution methodology of a multi-objective probabilistic fractional programming problem, where the parameters of the right hand side constraints follow Cauchy distribution. The proposed mathematical model can not be solved directly. The solution procedure is completed in three steps. In first step, multi-objective probabilistic fractional programming problem is converted to deterministic multi-objective fractional mathematical programming problem. In the second step, it is converted to its equivalent multi-objective mathematical programming problem. Finally, ε -constraint method is applied to find the best compromise solution. A numerical example and application are presented to demonstrate the procedure of proposed mathematical model.

Rough set theory, introduced by Pawlak in 1981, is one of the important theories to express the vagueness not by means of membership but employing a boundary region of a set, i.e., an object is approximately determined based on some knowledge. In our real-life, there exists several parameters which impact simultaneously on each other and hence dealing with such different parameters and their conflictness create a multi-objective nonlinear programming problem (MONLPP). The objective of the paper is to deal with a MONLPP with rough parameters in the constraint set. The considered MONLPP with rough parameters are converted into the two-single objective problems namely, lower and upper approximate problems by using the weighted averaging and the ɛ- constraints methods and hence discussed their efficient solutions. The Karush-Kuhn-Tucker’s optimality conditions are applied to solve these two lower and upper approximate problems. In addition, the rough weights and the rough parameter ɛ are determined by the lower and upper the approximations corresponding each efficient solution. Finally, two numerical examples are considered to demonstrate the stated approach and discuss their advantages over the existing ones.

Goal programming (GP) is a powerful method to solve multi-objective programming problems. In GP the preferential weights are incorporated in different ways into the achievement function. The problem becomes more complicated if the preferences are imprecise in nature, for example ‘Goal A is slightly or moderately or significantly important than Goal B’. Considering such type of problems, this paper proposes standard goal programming models for multi-objective decision-making, where fuzzy linguistic preference relations are incorporated to model the relative importance of the goals. In the existing literature, only methods with linear preference relations are available. As per our knowledge, nonlinearity was not considered previously in preference relations. We formulated fuzzy preference relations as exponential membership functions. The grades or achievement function is described as an exponential membership function and is used for grading levels of preference toward uncertainty. A nonlinear membership function may lead to a better representation of the achievement level than a linear one. Our proposed models can be a useful tool for different types of real life applications, where exponential nonlinearity in goal preferences exists. Finally, a numerical example is presented and analyzed through multiple cases to validate and compare the proposed models. A distance measure function is also developed and used to compare proposed models. It is found that, for the numerical example, models with exponential membership functions perform better than models with linear membership functions. The proposed models will help decision makers analyze and plan real life problems more realistically.

In this paper, we formulate and solve a novel real-life large-scale automotive parts paint shop scheduling problem, which contains color arrangement restrictions, part arrangement restrictions, bracket restrictions, and multi-objectives. Based on these restrictions, we construct exact constraints and two objective functions to form a large-scale multi-objective mixed-integer linear programming problem. To reduce this scheduling problem’s complexity, we converted the multi-objective model into a multi-level objective programming problem by combining the rule-based scheduling algorithm and the adaptive Partheno-Genetic algorithm. The rule-based scheduling algorithm is adopted to optimize color changes horizontally and bracket replacements vertically. The adaptive Partheno-Genetic algorithm is designed to optimize production based on the rule-based scheduling algorithm. Finally, we apply the model to the actual optimization problem that contained 829,684 variables and 137,319 constraints, and solved this problem by Python. The proposed method solves the optimal solution, consuming 575 s.
