Optimization of fuzzy bi-objective fractional assignment problem

AbstractTheory and applications of fractional programming have been significantly developed in the few last decades and assignment problem is one of the fundamental combinatorial optimization problems in the branch of optimization. Generally, in real world problems, the possible values of coefficients of a linear fractional programming problem are often only imprecisely or ambiguously known to the decision maker, therefore, it would be certainly more appropriate to interpret the coefficients as fuzzy numerical data. In this article, a fuzzy bi-objective fractional assignment problem has been formulated. Here the parameters are represented by triangular fuzzy numbers and the fuzzy problem is transformed into standard crisp problem through $$\alpha $$α-cut and then the compromise solution is derived by fuzzy programming.
