A New Method for Solving Fuzzy Triangular Linear Fractional Programming Problem by Conversion Technique
Main Article Content
Abstract
Fuzzy Triangular Linear Fractional Programming Problem (FTLFPP) is one in which the objective function is a linear fractional function, while the constraints are in the form of linear inequalities. This paper meticulously implements the proposed conversion technique without compromising the original objective functions and constraints. The standard methods are quite complex and tedious. Here we propose a novel conversion technique that converts the given FTLFPP into FTLPP, which helps us smoothly solve the FTLFPP. This is illustrated with the help of some numerical examples.
