this paper presents a new mathematical model for a bi-objective job shop scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times that minimizes the weighted mean completion time and the weighted mean tardiness time. for solving this multi-objective model, we develop a fuzzy multi-objective linear programming (fmolp) model. in this problem, a proposed fmolp method is applied with respect to the o...

In this paper, bi-level linear programming problem with multiple objectives at each level in intuitionistic fuzzy environment is studied and solved. In this problem, technological coefficients and resources are characterized by intuitionistic fuzzy numbers having linear membership and non-membership function. Intuitionistic fuzzy efficient solution is computed for the upper level by the propose...

This paper deals with fuzzy goal programming approach to bilevel multi-objective programming problem with fuzzy parameters. In the proposed approach, the tolerance membership functions for the fuzzily described objective functions are defined by determining individual optimal solution of the objective functions of each of the decision makers. Since the objectives are potentially conflicting in ...

We present a new exact approach for solving bi-objective integer linear programs. The new approach efficiently employs two of the existing exact algorithms in the literature, including the balanced box and the -constraint methods, in two stages. A computationally study shows that (1) the new approach solves less single-objective integer linear programs in comparison to the balanced box method, ...

majority of models in location literature are based on assumptions such as point demand, absence of competitors, as well as monopoly in location, products, and services. however in real-world applications, these assumptions are not well-matched with reality. in this study, a new mixed integer nonlinear programming model based on weighted goal programming approach is proposed to maximize the cap...

In Pareto bi-objective integer optimization the optimal result corresponds to a set of nondominated solutions. We propose a generic bi-objective branch-and-bound algorithm that uses a problem-independent branching rule exploiting available integer solutions, and cutting plane generation taking advantage of integer objective values. The developed algorithm is applied to the bi-objective team ori...

This paper presents two new dynamic programming (DP) algorithms to find the exact Pareto frontier for the bi-objective integer knapsack problem. First, a property of the traditional DP algorithm for the multiobjective integer knapsack problem is identified. The first algorithm is developed by directly using the property. The second algorithm is a hybrid DP approach using the concept of the boun...

In this paper we study the bilevel linear programming problem with multiple objective functions at the upper level, with particular focus on the bi-objective case. We examine some properties of this problem and propose a methodological approach based on the reformulation of the problem as a multiobjective mixed 0-1 linear programming problem. The basic idea consists in applying a reference poin...

In this work, a version of the technique for order preference by similarity ideal solution (TOPSIS) with entropic regularization approach is developed for solving the fuzzy multi-objective nonlinear programming (MONLP) problems. Applying the basic principle of compromise of TOPSIS, the fuzzy MONLP problem can be reduced into a fuzzy bi-objective nonlinear programming problem. Moreover, followin...
