Linear programming problems with trapezoidal fuzzy variables (FVLP) have recently attracted some interest. Some methods have been developed for solving these problems by introducing and solving certain auxiliary problems. Here, we apply a linear ranking function to order trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Then, we establish the dual problem of the linear programming problem with trapezoidal fuzzy varia...

We explore some duality properties in fuzzy number linear programming problems. By use of a linear ranking function we introduce the dual of fuzzy number linear programming primal problems. We then present several duality results. 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Two existing methods for solving fuzzy variable linear programming problems based on ranking functions are the fuzzy primal simplex method proposed by Mahdavi-Amiri et al. (2009) and the fuzzy dual simplex method proposed by Mahdavi-Amiri and Nasseri (2007). In this paper, we prove that in the absence of degeneracy these fuzzy methods stop in a finite number of iterations. Moreover, we generali...

Based on fuzzy one-class support vector machine (SVM) and least squares (LS) oneclass SVM, we propose an LS fuzzy one-class SVM to deal with the class imbalanced problem. The LS fuzzy one-class SVM applies a fuzzy membership to each sample and attempts to solve the modified primal problem. Hence, we just need to solve a system of linear equations as opposed solving the quadratic programming pro...

A pair of linear primal-dual problems is introduced under fuzzy environment and appropriate results are proved to establish the duality relationship between them. Possible extensions are also suggested.

The objective of this paper is to analyze entropy based Vendor Selection Problem (VSP) model by using fuzzy mathematical programming and primal-dual geometric programming method. Here we have extended the unconstrained convex programming approach to solve VSP model with inequality constraints without adding artificial variables. By t-norm based fuzzy mathematical programming technique and the d...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of primal strong co-ideals and give some results involving them. It is shown thatsubtractive strong co-ideals are intersection of all primal strong co-ideals that contain them. Also we prove that the representation of strong co-ideals as reduced intersections of primal strong co-ideals is unique.

Cost-sensitive classification is based on a set of weights defining the expected cost of misclassifying an object. In this paper, a Genetic Fuzzy Classifier, which is able to extract fuzzy rules from interval or fuzzy valued data, is extended to this type of classification. This extension consists in enclosing the estimation of the expected misclassification risk of a classifier, when assessed ...
