Revised Fuzzy Simplex Algorithm for Linear Programming Problems with Fuzzy Variables Using Linear Ranking Functions

S. H. Nasseri, B. Khabiri

Abstract


In this paper, we propose a revised fuzzy simplex algorithm for solving linear programming problems with fuzzy variables. This method proceeds through the same steps as the simplex method but keeps all pertinent information in a smaller array. Furthermore, the new algorithm will be useful for sensitivity analysis when using the primal simplex tableau. Finally, we give an illustrative example to show the advantage of our method.

Keywords


Fuzzy simplex method, linear programming with fuzzy variables, ranking function, trapezoidal fuzzy number.

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
