Crisp multi-objective programming has been applied successfully in many fields. But in real applications, the decision environment often exists randomness and the objectives are fuzzy. So it is significant and valuable to establish a fuzzy multi-objective programming model under random environment. In this paper, we use fuzzy number to represent the fuzzy events and fuzzy objectives. Firstly, the general formula of effect probability based on continuous distributions is given combined with effect theory, and a special one based on normal distribution is further given. Secondly, an effect probability-based fuzzy multi-objective programming(abbreviated as FMO-EP) model is proposed by regarding fuzzy objectives as fuzzy events. Finally, the effectiveness and interpretability of FMO-EP is proved through a case.

This note shows that virtually all the multi-objective and goal-programming approaches can be thought of as special cases of a general distance-function model. Although the outcome of this paper cannot be considered completely new, it can, however, help increasing conceptual clarity and precision in future dialogue, showing the actual links between multi-objective programming, goal programming and traditional mathematical programming.

In this research, we use the harmonic mean technique to present an interactive strategy for addressing neutrosophic multi-level multi-objective linear programming (NMMLP) problems. The coefficients of the objective functions of level decision makers and constraints are represented by neutrosophic numbers. By using the interval programming technique, the NMMLP problem is transformed into two crisp MMLP problems, one of these problems is an MMLP problem with all of its coefficients being upper approximations of neutrosophic numbers, while the other is an MMLP problem with all of its coefficients being lower approximations of neutrosophic numbers. The harmonic mean method is then used to combine the many objectives of each crisp problem into a single objective. Then, a preferred solution for NMMLP problems is obtained by solving the single-objective linear programming problem. An application of our research problem is how to determine the optimality the cost of multi-objective transportation problem with neutrosophic environment. To demonstrate the proposed strategies, numerical examples are solved.

This paper presents a new fuzzy clustering approach based on an efficient fuzzy distance measurement and multi-objective mathematical programming. As the human intuitions implies, it is not rational to measure the distance between two fuzzy clusters by a crisp measurement. Unfortunately, most of the existing fuzzy clustering approaches, consider the distance between two fuzzy clusters as a crisp value. This will yield a rounding error and is assumed a pitfall. In this paper, an efficient fuzzy distance measurement is developed in order to measure distance between multi-dimensional fuzzy clusters as a fuzzy measure. The triangle fuzzy numbers (TFNs) are used to develop the applicable fuzzy clustering approach. Then, multi-objective mathematical programming is utilized to optimize the center, and left and right spreads of fuzzy clusters which are calculated as TFNs. More formally, the advantages of proposed fuzzy clustering in comparison with existing procedure is (a) developing an efficient fuzzy distance measurement, and (b) optimizing the center and spread of the fuzzy clusters using multi-objective mathematical programming. An illustrative random simulated instance is supplied in order to present the mechanism and calculations of the proposed fuzzy clustering approach. The performance of proposed fuzzy clustering approach is compared with an existing Fuzzy C-means approach in the literature on several benchmark instances. Then, the Error Ratio is defined to compare the performance of both methods and comprehensive statistical analysis and hypothesis test are accomplished to test the performance of both methods. Finally, a real case study, called group decision making multi-possibility multi-choice investment partitioning problem, is discussed in order to illustrate the efficacy and applicability of the proposed approach in real world problems. The proposed approach is straightforward, its quality is as well as existing approach in the literature and its results ar

Systems can be unstructured, uncertain and complex, and their optimisation often requires operational research techniques. In this study, we introduce AUGMECON-R, a robust variant of the augmented epsilon-constraint algorithm, for solving multi-objective linear programming problems, by drawing from the weaknesses of AUGMECON 2, one of the most widely used improvements of the epsilon-constraint method. These weaknesses can be summarised in the ineffective handling of the true nadir points of the objective functions and, most notably, in the significant amount of time required to apply it as more objective functions are added to a problem. We subsequently apply AUGMECON-R in comparison with its predecessor, in both a set of reference problems from the literature and a series of significantly more complex problems of four to six objective functions. Our findings suggest that the proposed method greatly outperforms its predecessor, by solving significantly less models in emphatically less time and allowing easy and timely solution of hard or practically impossible, in terms of time and processing requirements, problems of numerous objective functions. AUGMECON-R, furthermore, solves the limitation of unknown nadir points, by using very low or zero-value lower bounds without surging the time and resources required.

The focus of this paper is to suggest a solution methodology for a fully fuzzy multi-objective quadratic programming problem. Solving the provided mathematical model using known classical methods is extremely difficult. To solve the present mathematical programming problem, three major approaches are suggested. In first step, we used arithmetic operations between two fuzzy parameters and variables. The importance is given in the next step to handle fuzzy part of objective functions by ranking functions and after the completion of the second step, the fuzzy part of the fuzzy constraints tackled by the inequality property of between two triangular fuzzy numbers. Finally, the transformed multi-objective quadratic mathematical programming problem is solved using a weighted fuzzy goal programming approach. The final solution of the suggested model is derived using existing methodology and softwares. The working procedures of the proposed method is further discussed using numerical example.

Generally, in project time, cost and quality trade-off problems, the decision maker (DM) has to take different conflicting objectives into account in order to find an optimal solution. In project management literature, many models have been developed for project crashing and project time-cost trade-off, but only a few of them consider quality as an objective. This article employs a chance constrained compromise programming approach (CCCP) to solve the time, cost and quality trade-off problem (TCQTP). The purpose of this paper is to present and test a new model for the project time, cost and quality problem. In fact, we try to find the optimal decrease in cost and duration of activities while maximizing quality under uncertainty conditions. In order to expect more realistic outcomes for the problem of uncertainties in project activities, time should be taken into account. Therefore, we assume the activity duration as a random and normally distributed parameter. An example of a project network, consisting of 6 nodes and 7 activities, is analyzed under different uncertainty levels.

In this paper, a new generalised class of higher order (F, alpha, rho, d)-V-type I function is introduced for a non-smooth multi-objective fractional programming problem involving support functions. The newly defined class extends several known classes in the literature has been justified through a non-trivial example. In the framework of new concept, we determine conditions under which a fractional function becomes higher order (F, alpha, rho, d)-V-type I function and do some computational work to substantiate the analysis. Further, we establish Karush-Kuhn-Tucker type sufficient optimality conditions and derive various duality results for higher order Mond-Weir type and Schaible type dual programs.
Duality theory is applied to measure the sensitivity of a multi-objective programming problem. Since the dual problem does not always measure primal sensitivity, the paper states necessary and sufficient conditions (h...

In the paper, we give a new method for solution of multi-objective linear programming problem in intuitionistic fuzzy environment. The method uses computation of the upper bound of a non-membership function in such way that the upper bound of the non-membership function is always less than the upper bound of the membership function of intuitionistic fuzzy number. Further, we also construct membership and non-membership function to maximize membership function and minimize non-membership function so that we can get a more efficient solution of a probabilistic problem by intuitionistic fuzzy approach. The developed method has been illustrated on a problem, and the result has been compared with existing solutions to show its superiority.
