Z‐Number‐Based Linear Programming

Linear programming (LP) is the operations research technique frequently used in the fields of science, economics, business, management science, and engineering. Although it is investigated and applied for more than six decades, and LP models with different level of generalization of information about parameters including models with interval, fuzzy, generalized fuzzy, and random numbers are considered, until now there is no approach to account for reliability of information within the framework of LP.
