Interactive Approach for Multi-level Multi-objective Fractional Programming Problems with Fuzzy parameters
Publication date: Available online 9 September 2017 Source:Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences Author(s): M.S. Osman, O.E. Emam, M.A. Elsayed In 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 ...
