Surapati Pramanik, Indrani Maiti, Tarni Mandal . A Taylor Series based Fuzzy Mathematical Approach for Multi Objective Linear Fractional Programming Problem with Fuzzy Parameters. International Journal of Computer Applications. 180, 45 ( May 2018), 22-29. DOI=10.5120/ijca2018917154
This article presents an approach to acquire the solution of multi-objective linear fractional programming problems where the parameters are assumed to be triangular fuzzy numbers. This is done through a fuzzy mathematical programming perspective based on an approximation method using Taylor series. The problem is first formulated into an equivalent deterministic form using the concept of α-cuts. The associated membership function of each objective function is formulated using the individual optimal solution and is then converted into a linear function by applying the first order Taylor series. The multi-objective linear fractional programming problem then gets reduced to a linear programming problem by applying fuzzy mathematical programming. To illustrate the computational simplicity and applicability of the proposed approach, a numerical example is solved and the results are compared with existing methods.
