The manifold non-linear programming problems (NLPP) are dealt by people in their daily routines in the form of real time uses. The non-linear problem could deliver a remedies on the problems that require decision making, for instance corporate planning as well as finance, production and marketing, sales and inventory etc. this makes the fractional programing a research area of predominance. The fractional programming in transportation problem of disposing a one type of goods to various endpoint with varying quantities would enable to identify probable solution at a minimized cost and duration. The paper with the research study on the one such NLPP is coined as the fractional-quadratic transportation problem. (FQTP). The NLPP are highly popular since they deliver a supreme depictions of distribution problems for the real-life applications were the transportation cost remains changing. The proposed strides in the paper emphasis on deducing the solutions that are optimal for such difficulty. The proposed algorithm is examined with the numerical instance to demonstrate the proficiency of the algorithm and its benefits in the transportation structure belonging to different area of application

In this paper, we consider some Multi-choice linear programming (MCLP) problems where the alternative values of the multi-choice parameters are fuzzy numbers. There are some real-life situations where we need to choose a value for a parameter from a set of different choices to optimize our objective, and those values of the parameters can be imprecise or fuzzy. We formulate these situations as a mathematical model by using some fuzzy numbers for the alternatives. A defuzzification method based on incentre point of a triangle has been used to find the defuzzified values of the fuzzy numbers. We determine an equivalent crisp multi-choice linear programming model. To tackle the multi-choice parameters, we use Lagranges interpolating polynomials. Then, we establish a transformed mixed integer nonlinear programming problem. By solving the transformed non-linear programming model, we obtain the optimal solution for the original problem. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the proposed model and methodology.

For twenty decades, there is a visible ever forward advancement in the technology of mobility, vehicles and transportation system in general. However, there is no "cure-all" remedy ideal enough to solve all life problems but mathematics has proven that if the problem can be determined, it is most likely solvable. New methods and applications will keep coming to making sure that life problems will be solved faster and easier. This study is to adopt a mathematical transportation problem in the Coca-Cola company aiming to help the logistics department manager of the Asejire and Ikeja plant to decide on how to distribute demand by the customers and at the same time, minimize the cost of transportation. Here, different algorithms are used and compared to generate an optimal solution, namely; North West Corner Method (NWC), Least Cost Method (LCM) and Vogel’s Approximation Method (VAM). The transportation model type in this work is the Linear Programming as the problems are represented in tables and results are compared with the result obtained on Maple 18 software. The study shows various ways in which the initial basic feasible solutions to the problem can be obtained where the best method that saves the highest percentage of transportation cost with for this problem is the NWC. The NWC produces the optimal transportation cost which is 517,040 units.

There are several methods, in literature, for finding the fuzzy optimal solution of fully fuzzy transportation problems (transportation problems in which all the parameters are represented by fuzzy numbers). In this paper, the shortcomings of some existing methods are pointed out and to overcome these shortcomings, two new methods (based on fuzzy linear programming formulation and classical transportation methods) are proposed to find the fuzzy optimal solution of unbalanced fuzzy transportation problems by representing all the parameters as trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. The advantages of the proposed methods over existing methods are also discussed. To illustrate the proposed methods a fuzzy transportation problem (FTP) is solved by using the proposed methods and the obtained results are discussed. The proposed methods are easy to understand and to apply for finding the fuzzy optimal solution of fuzzy transportation problems occurring in real life situations.

In this chapter, the authors propose a new approach to analyze the Solid Transportation Problem (STP). This new approach considers the multi-choice programming into the cost coefficients of objective function and stochastic programming, which is incorporated in three constraints, namely sources, destinations, and capacities constraints, followed by Cauchy's distribution for solid transportation problem. The multi-choice programming and stochastic programming are combined into a solid transportation problem, and this new problem is called Multi-Choice Stochastic Solid Transportation Problem (MCSSTP). The solution concepts behind the MCSSTP are based on a new transformation technique that will select an appropriate choice from a set of multi-choice, which optimize the objective function. The stochastic constraints of STP converts into deterministic constraints by stochastic programming approach. Finally, the authors construct a non-linear programming problem for MCSSTP, and by solving it, they derive an optimal solution of the specified problem. A realistic example on STP is considered to illustrate the methodology.

In deregulated power markets, Independent System Operators (ISOs) maintains adequate reserve requirement in order to respond to generation and system security constraints. In order to estimate accurate reserve requirement and handling non-linearity and non-convexity of the problem, an efficient computational framework is required. In addition, ISO executes SCUC in order to reach the consistent operation. In this paper, a novel type of application which is Benders decomposition (BD) and Mixed integer non linear programming (MINLP) can be used to assess network security constraints by using AC optimal power flow (ACOPF) in a power system. It performs ACOPF in network security check evaluation with line outage contingency. The process of solving modified system would be close to optimal solution, the gap between the close to optimal and optimal solution is expected to determine whether a close to optimal solutionis accepetable for convenientpurpose. This approach drastically betters the fast computational requirement in practical power system .The numerical case studies are investigated in detail using an IEEE 118-bus system.
