Many organizational decision problems can be formulated by multi-objective linear programming (MOLP) models. Referring to the imprecision inherent in human judgments, uncertainty may be incorporated in the parameters of an MOLP model when it is established, which is called a fuzzy MOLP (FMOLP) problem. What is an optimal solution for an FMOLP problem is the first issue to deal with in this study. The second issue is how to effectively derive an optimal solution for an FMOLP problem since uncertainty is also reflected in a solution process of an FMOLP problem. By introducing three types of comparison of fuzzy numbers and an adjustable satisfactory degree alpha in this study, a new solution concept of FMOLP is given. For handling the second issue, this study develops an interactive fuzzy goal optimization method which provides an interactive fashion with decision makers during their solution process and allows decision makers to give their fuzzy goals in any forms of membership functions. An illustrative example gives the details of the solution concept and the proposed method.

This article presents a goal programming (GP) procedure for solving interval valued multiobjective fractional programming problems (MOFPPs) with interval objective functions in an inexact environment. In the proposed approach, the interval objective functions are first converted into the standard objective goals in the fractional GP formulation by using the interval arithmetic technique. Then, in the decision process, the fractional goals are transformed into the linear goals by linearization approach [31] studied previously. In solution process, the executable GP model of the problem is formulated with the objective to minimize the regret with the view to achieve the goals in their specified ranges and thereby arriving at a most satisfactory solution in the decision making environment. Two numerical examples are solved to illustrate the proposed approach and the model solution of one problem is compared with the solution of a fuzzy programming approach [28] studied previously.

This paper designs supply chain network in uncertain environment, in which the demands of customers are assumed to be random variables, and the operation costs are considered as fuzzy numbers. After modeling by fuzzy programming, a fuzzy neural network optimized by particle swarm optimization is presented to solve the established model. Through an example, compared with the traditional fuzzy neural network, it is proved that the presented method has advantage in calculation efficiency.

This article describes a goal programming (GP) procedure for proper allocation of teaching personnel to the teaching departments for smooth functioning of the academic activities of a university. In the academic resource planning context, both the crisp and fuzzy goal objectives which are frequently involved with the problem are discussed. Again, certain ratios in the fractional forms which are inherently associated to the problem are also taken into consideration. In the model formulation, achievement of the highest membership value (unity) of the membership functions of the defined fuzzy goal as well as attainment of the prescribed goal levels of the crisp goals to the extent possible are considered. In the solution process, the fractional goals are transformed into the linear goals by using the linear transformation approach [1] studied previously. A case study of University of Kalyani, West Bengal, India is considered to expound the potential use of the proposed model.

Recently, researchers have extensively applied quadratic programming into classification, known as V. Vapnik's Support Vector Machine, as well as various applications. However, using optimization techniques to deal with data separation and data analysis goes back to more than forty years ago. Since 1998, the authors and their colleagues extended such a research idea into classification via multiple criteria linear programming (MCLP) and multiple criteria quadratic programming (MQLP). The purpose of the paper is to share our research results and promote the research interests in the community of computational sciences. These methods are different from statistics, decision tree induction, and neural networks. In this paper, starting from the basics of Multiple Criteria Linear programming (MCLP), we further discuss penalized MCLP Multiple Criteria Quadratic programming (MCQP), Multiple Criteria fuzzy Linear programming, Multi-Group Multiple Criteria Mathematical programming, as well as regression method by Multiple Criteria Linear programming. A brief summary of applications of Multiple Criteria Mathematical programming is also provided.

Managing core knowledge can present considerable challenges for long-term sustainable competitive advantages. The crux among knowledge management is how to effectively select core knowledge from various knowledge-based assets while maintaining tight control over intellectual properties. Owing to linguistic or uncertain concepts frequently represented in decision data, evaluations of real situations should be assumed to be fuzzy numbers. The paper proposes an approach to core knowledge selection with fuzzy information. Using the conceptual framework developed by Lin and Liu (2007), we focus on criteria evaluation and comprehensive procedure that have been previously associated with group decision system. We explore the choice-function which is an aggregating consistency of decision group and provide a fuzzy programming model of seeking core knowledge. fuzzy constraints are also considered in the model. Credibility measure is applied to solve the proposed model so that it can embody well the group preference level. Results of an example further show that the approach which fits into the general framework can successfully identify core knowledge worthy of attention.

An extensive review for the family of multi-criteria programming data mining models is provided in this paper. These models are introduced in a systematic way according to the evolution of the multi-criteria programming. Successful applications of these methods to real world problems are also included in detail. This survey paper can serve as an introduction and reference repertory of multi-criteria programming methods helping researchers in data mining.

By using the restricted and complementary relationship of the principle and secondary indexes, providing the description of the compound quanti. cation of the fuzzy number, and analyzing the essential characteristic of fuzzy decision, we propose a kind of fuzzy genetic algorithm based on the principle index (PO-FGA for short) to deal with the fuzzy optimization and programming problems with fuzzy coefficients, fuzzy variables and fuzzy constraints. The concrete solution method is presented in accordance with the strategy of the unconditional penality transformation with conditional constrains. Then consider its convergence by using Markov chain theory and analyze its performance through two examples. All these indicate that this kind of algorithm is of faster speed of convergence, smaller number of iterations, has lower chances of trapping into the state of premature convergence and can be widely used in many problems of optimization.

This paper is to study the significance of the cooperation between the markdown policy and the aggregate planning so as to simulate the cooperation between retailers and manufacturers. A fuzzy nonlinear programming model, named Aggregate Production Planning-Markdown Pricing Model (APP-MP), is established by integrating the markdown model into Aggregate Production Planning model. Due to the uncertainty of business information and environment, some cost elements are considered to be fuzzy number so that the objective function is fuzzy in nature. The fuzzy programming model is transformed into a crisp parametric model to be solved. The parametric APP-MP is able to help the retailer and the manufacturer flexibly make the pricing decisions, including the magnitude and time of markdown, and production decisions based on different satisfaction levels so that greater profits could be obtained. The example solution shows that the cooperation definitely increases the profits.
