In this paper, a two stages method to determine suitable benchmark and return scale of the decision making units set is presented. At first, all of the efficient reference set in no radial data envelopment analysis (DEA) based on linear programming is found. first, RAM model is introduced and units is investigated using this model, then, to run the given algorithm below steps is performed. At t...

a characteristic of data envelopment analysis (dea) is to allow individual decision making units (dmus) to select the factor weights which are the most advantageous for them in calculating their efficiency scores. this flexibility in selecting the weights, on the other hand, deters the comparison among dmus on a common base. for dealing with this difficulty and assessing all the dmus on the sam...

bilevel linear programming  is a decision making problem with a two-level decentralized organization. the textquotedblleft leadertextquotedblright~ is in the upper level and the textquotedblleft followertextquotedblright, in the lower. making a decision at one level affects that at the other one. in this paper, bilevel linear programming  with inexact parameters has been studied and a method is...

multiple objective programming (mop) problems have become famous among many researchers due to more practical and realistic implementations. there have been a lot of methods proposed especially during the past four decades. in this paper, we develop a new algorithm based on a new approach to solve mop problems by starting from a utopian point (which is usually infeasible) and moving towards the...

dam reservoirs supplies water resources for drinking, agriculture, and industry almost in all parts of iran. lack of proper utilization rules and unbalanced demands versus available water has led to many problems regarding to ineffective use of the water resources. precipitation and flow rate are stochastic phenomena. therefore, multi-step processes related to the water use efficiency should be...
