Interactive Approach for Multi-Level Multi-Objective Fractional Programming Problems with Fuzzy Parameters
Publication date: March 2018Source: Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, Volume 7, Issue 1Author(s): M.S. Osman, O.E. Emam, M.A. ElsayedAbstractIn this paper, an interactive approach for solving multi-level multi-objective fractional programming (ML-MOFP) problems with fuzzy parameters is presented. The proposed interactive approach makes an extended work of Shi and Xia (1997). In the first phase, the numerical crisp model of the ML-MOFP problem has been developed at a confidence level without changing the fuzzy gist of the problem. Then, the linear model for the ML-MOFP problem is formulated. In the...
