The study deals with the multi-choice mathematical programming problem, where the right hand side of the constraints is multi-choice in nature. However, the problem of multi-choice linear programming cannot be solved directly by standard linear or nonlinear programming techniques. The aim of this paper is to transform such problems to a standard mathematical linear programming problem. For each...

In some practical situations the decision maker is interested in setting multi aspiration levels for objectives that may not be expressed in a specific manner. So in this paper, Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy transportation problem with multi-item, multi-objective function assuming multiple choices is considered. We have modeled multi-objective multi-choice multi-item Atanassov’s intuitionist...

The proper use of natural resources can preserve these valuable assets. In line with the management of natural resources, land use optimization can be highly useful. The aim of the present study is to propose an appropriate integrative model for optimized allocation of lands for surface runoff and sediment load minimization and net income maximization in Bayg watershed, Iran. In this study, fiv...

we present a new model and a new approach for solving fuzzylinear programming (flp) problems with various utilities for the satisfactionof the fuzzy constraints. the model, constructed as a multi-objective linearprogramming problem, provides flexibility for the decision maker (dm), andallows for the assignment of distinct weights to the constraints and the objectivefunction. the desired solutio...

in recent years, supplier evaluation and selection, an important element in supply chain management, has been gaining attention in both academic literature and industrial practice. the mixed integer multi-objective non-linear programming model (mimonlp) presented in this paper aimed to evaluate and select the appropriate set of suppliers considering quantitative and qualitative criteria and in ...

This paper presents a fuzzy goal programming (FGP) methodology for solving bi-level quadratic programming (BLQP) problems. In the FGP model formulation, firstly the objectives are transformed into fuzzy goals (membership functions) by means of assigning an aspiration level to each of them, and suitable membership function is defined for each objectives, and also the membership functions for vec...

the fuzzy linear regression model with fuzzy input-output data andcrisp coefficients is studied in this paper. a linear programmingmodel based on goal programming is proposed to calculate theregression coefficients. in contrast with most of the previous works, theproposed model takes into account the centers of fuzzy data as animportant feature as well as their spreads in the procedure ofconstr...

the aim of this paper is to evaluate suppliers using a multi objective programming problem and multiple criteria data envelope analysis. toward accomplishing this goal, first a general algorithm is introduced to obtain a continuous set of efficient solutions of the given multi objective programming problem. then, since each member of such set can be viewed as a combination of inputs such as raw...
