this paper proposes a suitable benchmark for inefficient commercial bank branches by using data envelopment analysis (dea). in order to render an inefficient bank branch efficient, it is necessary to decrease inputs and increase outputs. as there are priorities for decreasing some certain inputs and increasing some certain outputs over other inputs and outputs, respectively, it is necessary to ...

In this paper, a new method is proposed to find the fuzzy optimal solution of fully fuzzy linear programming (abbreviated to FFLP) problems. Also, we employ linear programming (LP) with equality constraints to find a nonegative fuzzy number vector x which satisfies Ax =b, where A is a fuzzy number matrix. Then we investigate the existence of a positive solution of fully fuzzy linear system (FFLS).

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...

‎linear semi-infinite programming problem is an important class of optimization problems which deals with infinite constraints‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎to solve this problem‎, ‎we combine a discretization method and a neural network method‎. ‎by a simple discretization of the infinite constraints,we convert the linear semi-infinite programming problem into linear programming problem‎. ‎then‎, ‎we use...
