This paper finds solutions to the fuzzy linear program where some parameters are fuzzy numbers. In practice, there are many problems in which all decision parameters are fuzzy numbers, and such problems are usually solved by either probabilistic programming or multi objective programming methods. Unfortunately all these methods have shortcomings. In this paper, using the concept of comparison of fuzzy numbers, the author introduces a very effective method for solving these problems. This paper extends linear programming based problem in fuzzy environment. With the problem assumptions, the optimal solution can still be theoretically solved using the simplex based method. To handle the fuzzy decision variables can be initially generated and then solved and improved sequentially using the fuzzy decision approach by introducing robust ranking technique. The model is illustrated with an application and a post optimal analysis approach is obtained. The proposed procedure was programmed with MATLAB (R2009a) version software, the four dimensional slice diagram is represented to the application. Finally, numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results, and to gain additional managerial insights.

Linear Programming Problems

The numerical method for solving the fuzzy linear programming problems with fuzzydecision variables is proposed in this paper. The difficulty for solving this kind of problem is thatthe decision variables are assumed to be nonnegative fuzzy numbers instead of nonnegative realnumbers. In other words, the decision variables are assumed to be membership functions. One of thepurposes of this paper is to derive the analytic formula of error estimation regarding the approximateoptimal solution. On the other hand, the existence of optimal solutions is also studied in this paper.Finally we present two numerical examples to demonstrate the usefulness of the numerical method.

Fuzzy Solution

Recently, new methods have been recommended to solve fully fuzzy linear programming (FFLP) issues. Likewise, the present study examines a new approach to solve FFLP issues through fuzzy decision parameters and variables using triangular fuzzy numbers. The strategy, which is based on alpha-cut theory and modified triangular fuzzy numbers, is suggested to obtain the optimal fully fuzzy solution for real-world problems. In this method, the problem is considered as a fully fuzzy problem and then is solved by applying the new definition presented for the triangular fuzzy number to optimize decision variables and the objective function. Several numerical examples are solved to illustrate the above method.

Crisp Linear Programming

The Yin-Yang bipolar fuzzy set is a powerful mathematical tool for depicting fuzziness and vagueness. We first extend the concept of crisp linear programming problem in a bipolar fuzzy environment based on bipolar fuzzy numbers. We first define arithmetic operations of unrestricted bipolar fuzzy numbers and multiplication of an unrestricted trapezoidal bipolar fuzzy number (TrBFN) with non-negative TrBFN. We then propose a method for solving fully bipolar fuzzy linear programming problems (FBFLPPs) with equality constraints in which the coefficients are unrestricted triangular bipolar fuzzy numbers and decision variables are nonnegative triangular bipolar fuzzy numbers. Furthermore, we present a method for solving FBFLPPs with equality constraints in which the coefficients and decision variables are unrestricted TrBFNs. The FBFLPP is transformed into a crisp linear programming problem, and then, it is solved to achieve the exact bipolar fuzzy optimal solution. We illustrate the proposed methodologies with several numerical examples.

Fuzzy Linear Fractional Programming

The aim of this chapter is to study fully fuzzy linear fractional programming (FFLFP) problems where all coefficients of the decision variables and parameters are characterized by triangular fuzzy numbers. To deal with this, the authors have first to transform FFLFP problems to fuzzy linear programming (FLP) problems by using Charnes and Cooper method and then use signed distance ranking to convert fuzzy linear programming (FLP) problems to crisp linear programming (LP) problems. The proposed method is solved by using the simplex method to find the optimal solution of the problem. The authors have studied sensitivity analysis to determine changes in the optimal solution of the fully fuzzy linear fractional programming (FFLFP) problems resulting from changes in the parameters. To demonstrate the proposed method, one numerical example is solved.

The present paper aims to propose an alternative solution approach in obtaining the fuzzy optimal solution to a fuzzy linear programming problem with variables given as fuzzy numbers with minimum uncertainty. In this paper, the fuzzy linear programming problems with variables given as fuzzy numbers is transformed into equivalent interval linear programming problems with variables given as interval numbers. The solutions to these interval linear programming problems with variables given as interval numbers are then obtained with the help of linear programming technique. A set of six random numerical examples has been solved using the proposed approach.

In many real-world problems, one may encounter uncertainty in the input data. The fuzzy set theory fits well to handle such situations. However, it is not always possible to determine with full satisfaction the membership and non-membership degrees associated with an element of the fuzzy set. The intuitionistic fuzzy sets play a key role in dealing with the hesitation factor along-with the uncertainity involved in the problem and hence, provides more flexibility in the decision-making process. In this article, we introduce a new ordering on the set of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and propose a simple approach for solving the fully intuitionistic fuzzy linear programming problems with mixed constraints and unrestricted variables where the parameters and decision variables of the problem are represented by intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. The proposed method converts the problem into a crisp non-linear programming problem and further finds the intuitionistic fuzzy optimal solution to the problem. Some of the key significance of the proposed study are also pointed out along-with the limitations of the existing studies. The approach is illustrated step-by-step with the help of a numerical example and further, a production planning problem is also demonstrated to show the applicability of the study in practical situations. Finally, the efficiency of the proposed algorithm is analyzed with the existing studies based on various computational parameters.
