This paper presents a branch-and-bound algorithm for globally solving a wide class of generalized linear fractional programming problems (GLFP). This class includes such problems as: minimizing a sum, or error for product of a finite number of ratios of linear functions, linear multiplicative programming, polynomial programming, etc. – over nonconvex feasible region. First a problem (Q) is deri...

We consider a fractional program with both linear and quadratic equation in numerator and denominator  having second order cone (SOC) constraints. With a suitable change of variable, we transform the problem into a  second order cone programming (SOCP)  problem.  For the quadratic fractional case, using a relaxation, the problem is reduced to a semi-definite optimization (SDO) program. The p...

Multi-objective De Novo linear programming (MODNLP) is problem for designing optimal system by reshaping the feasible set (Fiala [3] ). This paper deals with MODNLP having possibilistic objective functions coefficients. The problem is considered by inserting possibilistic data in the objective functions coefficients. The solution of the problem is defined and established under the using of effi...

in this paper imprecise target models has been proposed to investigate the relation between imprecise data envelopment analysis (idea) and mini-max reference point formulations. through these models, the decision makers' preferences are involved in interactive trade-off analysis procedures in multiple objective linear programming with imprecise data. in addition, the gradient projection type me...

When a fractional criterion is to be described by linguistic variables two kinds of approaches are possible: to treat it as a unity (nominator/denominator) and to construct a classic membership function or to aggregate the membership functions separately associated to nominator and denominator respectively. In the paper, two propositions are formulated related to choosing possibilities of aggre...
