        A. Ebrahimnejad

        In this paper fully fuzzy linear programming (FFLP) problem with both equality and inequality constraints is considered where all the parameters and decision variables are represented by non-negative trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. According to the current approach, the FFLP problem with equality constraints first is converted into a multi–objective linear programming (MOLP) problem with crisp constraints and then a lexicographic ordering method is used for solving the resulting MOLP problem. However, this approach cannot be used for finding the fuzzy optimal solution of FFLP problems with inequality constraints. The aim of this study is to point out and correct some errors in the definitions, notations operations and fuzzy ordering of the current approach for solving FFLP problems with fuzzy inequality constraints. Hence, a modified approach to obtain the fuzzy optimal solution of the FFLP problems with inequality constraints is proposed. Finally, several numerical examples are presented to illustrate the proposed approach. Manuscript profile

        Most research on bilevel linear programming problem is focused on its deterministic form, in which the coefficients and decision variables in the objective functions and constraints are assumed to be crisp. In fact, due to inaccurate information, it is difficult to know exactly values of coefficients that used to construct a bilevel model. The interval set theory is suitable for describing and solving uncertainty and inaccuracy in these decision-making issues. For this reason, interval bilevel linear programming problem, in which the coefficients in both objective functions and constraints are interval, is an attractive subject. In this paper, we consider a type of interval bilevel linear programming problem full , in which all the coefficients in both objective functions and constraints are interval. The purpose of this paper is to present a new method for solving fully interval bilevel linear programming problem with equality constraints. By providing numerical examples, the implementation of this method is expressed. economics and in the problems that we have certain, converting to interval programming a, is studied problems simply Manuscript profile

        The Best-Worst Method (BWM) is one of the latest methods in Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) problems. The mentioned method determines the optimal solution by forming and solving a Non-Linear Programming Model (NLPM). In respect to the difficulties of solving the relevant NLPM, some attempts have been made to provide Linear Programming Models (LPM) or Equivalent Mixed Linear Programming Models. But there are some deficiencies in each of the proposed models. In this paper, by removing the mentioned deficiencies, an algorithm was proposed to estimate the solution of BWM NLPM with an acceptable error by forming and solving Mixed Integer Linear Programming Models (MILPMs). In the suggested algorithm, first, the equivalent model of NLPM (ENLPM) was formed. Then by Piecewise Linear Approximation (PLA) using the SOS2 method, the non-linear sentences of ENLPM were approximated and the first MILP model was formed and solved. If the error of solution is not acceptable, improving the PLA of the ENLPM nonlinear sentences, the forming of new MILPMs, and its solving continues until a solution with acceptable error obtained. To investigate the reliability of the algorithm, a new method for generating samples was proposed. Then using this method, 128 samples with three and five attributes were generated. The results of implementing the proposed algorithm to solve generated samples showed the performance and efficiency of the proposed algorithm. In this regard by forming and solving a maximum of three MILPMs of the samples, an estimation of the solution with 1% error was obtained. Manuscript profile

        Recently, fuzzy linear programming problems have been considered by many. In the literature of fuzzy linear programming several models are offered and therefore some various methods have been suggested to solve these problems. One of the most important of these problems that recently has been considered; are Fully Fuzzy Linear Programming (FFLP), which all coefficients and variables of the problem are the same kind of fuzzy numbers. One of most common of them is the model in which all fuzzy parameters are discussed by triangle numbers. In this paper, we first define a fully fuzzy linear programming with trapezoidal numbers and then suggest a new method based on reducing the original problem to the problem with triangle number. Specially, a conversion function for converting two trapezoidal and triangular numbers to each other is offered. Finally, the mentioned method is illustrated by a numerical example.

        In the today’s world wherein every routine is based on economic factors, there is no doubt that theoretical sciences are driven by their capabilities and affordances in terms of economy. As a mathematical tool, data envelopment analysis (DEA) is provided to economics, so that one can investigate associated costs, prices and revenues of economic units. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a linear programming technique used for measuring the relative efficiency of decision making units based on input and output data. One of the applications of this technique is calculation of revenue efficiency. Methods of revenue efficiency calculation in DEA are generally presented for obtaining maximum revenue from output selling, these methods are not sufficiently efficient for evaluation of all system including network systems due to ignoring the internal structure of units and their middle products. Therefore, in this article, in addition to introduction of inverse linear programming in DEA and its application in calculating revenue efficiency, a new method is presented which considers the network structure of units, the ability to determine the optimal price and appropriate costs for efficiency of the unit. The proposed numerical examples demonstrated the superiority of the proposed methods over the traditional data envelopment analyses. Manuscript profile

        One of the most important challenges in the stock market for investors is selecting Portfolio. This study by considering the financial ratios as evaluating indicators tries to determine appropriate model for investment decisions in stocks. In this study, the combination of respectively models, linear regression, multi attribute decision making and linear programming were used to forecast the future of financial ratio trends, ranking companies and asset allocation. In the first step of study, after selecting 17 financial ratios and indicators as variables of the hybrid model, their values from the first quarter of 2007 to the first quarter of 2015 was calculated for companies included in the sample. Then by using the moving average with exogenous inputs and Auto Regressive Moving Average with exogenous input, these variables were predicted for the studied period (second quarter 2015). In the next step, we used Shannon entropy to determine the weight of indexes and the grey relational analysis for ranking companies. Finally, by using a linear programming model, a model was developed to select the optimal portfolio. According to this model, a portfolio of stocks formed and by using the Sharp ratio, its performance was compared with the overall index and the top 50 index. The results showed that the hybrid model has had a better performance than the overall index and the top 50 index, in the period of the study. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Environmental impact assessment studies are one of the proper means of ensuring a sustainable development. Determining limitations and mitigation procedures for the negative effects compose the main core of the EIA procedure, in case the suggested development has been allowed. In this study, impact assessment has been applied for five suggested compost and landfill sites in Golestan Province of Iran. Method: In this study, considering the associated costs, linear programming has been applied to rank the proposed landfill and compost plant sites. For this purpose, GIS data has been used and the optimum site selection process has been implemented. The site has been determined so as to minimize the likely impacts. Findings: The results show that by using linear programming, site 1 on the eastern part with a slight difference to others, and site 5 in the west,ern part with the least goal function value are the best. The most effective parameters for the sites 1 to 4 is underground water pollution, and for site 5 is loss of valuable land. However, at the site 5, the impact on the neighboring no-hunting area is more important than underground water pollution, considering costs and the required time for mitigation efforts. Conclusion: Using the minimum and maximum levels of mitigation levels shows that increase of mitigation can reduce pollution, and vice versa. Sensitivity analysis confirms the accuracy of this method. Manuscript profile

        In the Milkran logistics system, vehicles are sent to collect orders from suppliers and deliver them to ‎assembly lines, according to pre-planned routes. In this way, the vehicle goes to the location of ‎several suppliers to pick up orders and then is sent to one or more destinations for delivery. In this ‎logistics system, cargoes are aggregated within the vehicle and through various nodes in the logistics ‎network. This paper introduces a mixed integer linear programming model for the Milkran logistics ‎problem that takes into account considerations such as three-dimensional loading of the order ‎pallets into vehicles, 50% higher cost for returning empty pallets, order timewindows, and ‎heterogeneous fleets. Given the nature of the problem, an algorithm based on grouping evolutionary ‎strategy is introduced that uses heuristic methods to ensure vehicles’ loading and routing feasibility. ‎The effectiveness of the introduced mathematical model and meta-heuristic algorithm is measured ‎using data collected from Saipa Automotive Group. The computational results show that Milkran ‎Logistics has the ability to reduce costs by 24.5% (on average), compared to the direct shipping ‎strategy pursued by Saipa.‎ Manuscript profile

        In this paper, a bi-level optimization model is proposed for the coordinated management of integrated transmission and distribution networks. The problem of the security-constrained unit commitment as an upper-level problem to reduce operating costs, startup/shutdown costs, and no-load along with load shedding as a mixed integer linear programming model and the problem of optimal operation in independent distribution networks by considering renewable and non-renewable resources along with charging stations for electric vehicles as a lower-level problem to reduce the costs of purchasing power from the upstream network and reduce the costs of power outages. The resources and charging power of electric vehicle charging stations are considered a linear model. To solve the bi-level problem, the proposed lower-level model is modeled as Karush-Kahn-Tucker optimality conditions. Several different networks have been considered for validating the model and the proposed method, and the results obtained from the simulation prove the efficiency of the model and the proposed method in considering the coordinated operation of intelligent transmission and distribution networks. To show the superiority of the proposed method over other algorithms for solving multilevel models, the proposed method has been compared with decomposition algorithms, and the results show the superiority of the proposed method in terms of execution time and faster convergence.
