In this paper, we generalize the concept of sensitivity analysis in fuzzy number linear programming (FLNP) problems by applying fuzzy simplex algorithms and using the general linear ranking functions on fuzzy numbers. The purpose of sensitivity analysis is to determine changes in the optimal solution of FNLP problem resulting from changes in the data. If the change affects the optimality of the...

many ranking methods have been proposed so far. however, there is yet no method that can always give a satisfactory solution to every situation; some are counterintuitive, not discriminating; some use only the local information of fuzzy values; some produce different ranking for the same situation. for overcoming the above problems, we propose a new method for ranking fuzzy quantities based on ...

In this paper, we study a pair of fuzzy primal–dual linear programming problems and calculate duality results using an aspiration level approach. We use an exponential membership function, which is in contrast to the earlier works that relied on a linear membership function. As the fuzzy environment causes a duality gap, we investigate how choosing the exponential membership function impacts th...

The concept of duality plays an important role in optimization theory. This paper discusses some relations between primal and dual nonlinear programming problems in fuzzy environment. Here, fuzzy feasible region for a general fuzzy nonlinear programming is formed and the concept of fuzzy feasible solution is defined. First order dual relation for fuzzy nonlinear programming problem is studied.

Fuzzy set theory has been applied to many fields, such as operations research, control theory, and management sciences. We consider two classes of fuzzy linear programming (FLP) problems: Fuzzy number linear programming and linear programming with trapezoidal fuzzy variables problems. We state our recently established results and develop fuzzy primal simplex algorithms for solving these problem...

In the real word, there are many problems which have linear programming models and sometimes it is necessary to formulate these models with parameters of uncertainty. Many numbers from these problems are linear programming problems with fuzzy variables. Some authors considered these problems and have developed various methods for solving these problems. Recently, Mahdavi-Amiri and Nasseri (2007...

A two person zero sum matrix game with fuzzy goals and fuzzy payoffs is considered and its solution is conceptualized using a suitable defuzzification function. Also, it is proved that such a game is equivalent to a primal-dual pair of certain fuzzy linear programming problems in which both goals as well as parameters are fuzzy.

Fuzziness is ever presented in real life decision making problems. In this paper, we adapt the pessimistic approach tostudy a pair of linear primal-dual problem under intuitionistic fuzzy (I-fuzzy) environment and prove certain dualityresults. We generate the duality results using exponential membership and non-membership functions to represent thedecision maker’s satisfaction and dissatisfacti...

A dual for linear programming problems with fuzzy parameters is introduced and it is shown that a two person zero sum matrix game with fuzzy pay-o(s is equivalent to a primal-dual pair of such fuzzy linear programming problems. Further certain di6culties with similar studies reported in the literature are discussed.
