Transportation Problem is a linear programming problem. Like LPP, transportation problem has basic feasible solution (BFS) and then from it we obtain the optimal solution. Among these BFS the optimal solution is developed by constructing dual of the TP. By using complimentary slackness conditions the optimal solutions is obtained by the same iterative principle. The method is known as MODI (Modified Distribution) method. In this paper we have discussed all the aspect of transportation problem.

Cost Of Transportation

The transportation of big species is essential to rescue or relocate them and it requires the optimized cost of transportation. The present study brings out an optimized way to handle a special class of transportation problem called the Pythagorean fuzzy species transportation problem. To deal effectively with uncertain parameters, a new method for finding the initial fuzzy basic feasible solution (IFBFS) has been developed and applied. To test the optimality of the solutions obtained, a new approach named the Pythagorean fuzzy modified distribution method is developed. After reviewing the literature, it has been observed that till now the work done on Pythagorean fuzzy transportation problems is solely based on defuzzification techniques and so the optimal solutions obtained are in crisp form only. However, the proposed study is focused to get the optimal solution in its fuzzy form only. Getting results in the fuzzy form will lead to avoid any kind of loss of information during the defuzzification process. A comparative study with other defuzzification-based methods has been done to validate the proposed approach and it confirms the utility of the proposed methodology.

In this paper, a method using the concept of l1-norm is proposed to find all the efficient solutions of a 0-1 Multi-Objective Linear Programming (MOLP) problem. These solutions are specified without generating all feasible solutions. Corresponding to a feasible solution of a 0-1 MOLP problem, a vector is constructed, the components of which are the values of objective functions. The method consists of a one-stage algorithm. In each iteration of this algorithm a 0-1 single objective linear programming problem is solved. We have proved that optimal solutions of this 0-1 single objective linear programming problem are efficient solutions of the 0-1 MOLP problem. Corresponding to efficient solutions which are obtained in an iteration, some constraints are added to the 0-1 single objective linear programming problem of the next iteration. Using a theorem we guarantee that the proposed algorithm generates all the efficient solutions of the 0-1 MOLP problem. Numerical results are presented for an example taken from the literature to illustrate the proposed algorithm.

Linear Programming Problems

The neutrosophic primal simplex algorithm starts from a neutrosophic basic feasible solution. If there is no such a solution, we cannot apply the neutrosophic primal simplex method for solving the neutrosophic linear programming problem. In this chapter, the authors propose a neutrosophic two-phase method involving neutrosophic artificial variables to obtain an initial neutrosophic basic feasible solution to a slightly modified set of constraints. Then the neutrosophic primal simplex method is used to eliminate the neutrosophic artificial variables and to solve the original problem.

Clear Idea

The several standard and the existing proposed methods for optimality of transportation problems in linear programming problem are available. In this paper, we considered all standard and existing proposed methods and then we proposed a new method for optimal solution of transportation problems. The most attractive feature of this method is that it requires very simple arithmetical and logical calculation, that’s why it is very easy even for layman to understand and use. Some limitations and recommendations of future works are also mentioned of the proposed method. Several numerical examples have been illustrated, those gives the clear idea about the method. A programming code for this method has been written in Appendix of the paper.

We consider the general linear programming problem over the cone of positive semi-definite matrices. We first provide a simple sufficient condition for existence of optimal solutions and absence of a duality gap without requiring existence of a strictly feasible solution. We then simply characterize the analogues of the standard concepts of linear programming, i.e., extreme points, basis, reduced cost, degeneracy, pivoting step as well as a Simplex-like algorithm.

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.

Abstract Transportation problem is one of the models of Linear Programming problem. It deals with the situation in which a commodity from several sources is shipped to different destinations with the main objective to minimize the total shipping cost. There are three well-known methods namely, North West Corner Method Least Cost Method, Vogel’s Approximation Method to find the initial basic feasible solution of a transportation problem. In this paper, we present some statistical methods for finding the initial basic feasible solution. We use three statistical tools: arithmetic and harmonic mean and median. We present numerical examples, and we compare these results with other classical methods.
