A goal programming approach for fuzzy flexible linear programming problems

 We are concerned with solving Fuzzy Flexible Linear Programming (FFLP) problems. Even though, this model is very practical and is useful for many applications, but there are only a few methods for its situation. In most approaches proposed in the literature, the solution process needs at least, two phases where each phase needs to solve a linear programming problem. Here, we propose a method t...

An Efficient Parallel Algorithm for Linear Programming Problems

This study developed a parallel algorithm to efficiently solve linear programming models. The proposed algorithm utilizes the Dantzig-Wolfe Decomposition Principle and can be easily implemented in a general distributed computing environment. The analytical performance of the new algorithm, including the speedup upper bound and lower bound limits, was derived. Numerical experiments are also prov...

A Heuristic Algorithm for Nonlinear Lexicography Goal Programming with an Efficient Initial Solution

In this paper,  a heuristic algorithm is proposed in order to solve a nonlinear lexicography goal programming (NLGP) by using an efficient initial point. Some numerical experiments showed that the search quality by the proposed heuristic in a multiple objectives problem depends on the initial point features, so in the proposed approach the initial point is retrieved by Data Envelopment Analysis...

Efficient Linear Discriminant Analysis Using a Fast Quadratic Programming Algorithm

An algorithm is proposed for performing linear discriminant analysis using a single-layered feedforward network. The algorithm follows successive steepest descent directions with respect to the perceptron cost function, taking care not to increase the number of misclassified patterns. The algorithm has no free parameters and therefore no heuristics are involved in its application. Its efficienc...
