Tropical polyhedra have been recently used to represent disjunctive invariants in static analysis. To handle larger instances, the tropical analogues of classical linear programming results need to be developed. This motivation leads us to study a general tropical linear programming problem. We construct an associated parametric mean payoff game problem, and show that the optimality of a given point, or the unboundedness of the problem, can be certified by exhibiting a strategy for one of the players having certain infinitesimal properties (involving the value of the game and its derivative) that we characterize combinatorially. In other words, strategies play in tropical linear programming the role of Lagrange multipliers in classical linear programming. We use this idea to design a Newton-like algorithm to solve tropical linear programming problems, by reduction to a sequence of auxiliary mean payoff game problems.

The aim of this paper is to suggest a solution procedure to fractional programming problem based on new ranking function (RF) with triangular fuzzy number (TFN) based on alpha cuts sets of fuzzy numbers. In the present procedure the linear fractional programming (LFP) problems is converted into linear programming problems. We concentrate on linear programming problem problems in which the coefficients of objective function are fuzzy numbers, the right- hand side are fuzzy numbers too, then solving these linear programming problems by using a new ranking function. The obtained linear programming problem can be solved using win QSB program (simplex method) which yields an optimal solution of the linear fractional programming problem. Illustrated examples and comparisons with previous approaches are included to evince the feasibility of the proposed approach.

PurposeFor extending the common definitions and concepts of grey system theory to the optimization subject, a dual problem is proposed for the primal grey linear programming problem.Design/methodology/approachThe authors discuss the solution concepts of primal and dual of grey linear programming problems without converting them to classical linear programming problems. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the theory developed.FindingsBy using arithmetic operations between interval grey numbers, the authors prove the complementary slackness theorem for grey linear programming problem and the associated dual problem.Originality/valueComplementary slackness theorem for grey linear programming is first presented and proven. After that, a dual simplex method in grey environment is introduced and then some useful concepts are presented.

In this research paper, an effort has been made to solve each linear objective function involved in the Multi-objective Linear Programming Problem (MOLPP) under consideration by AHA simplex algorithm and then the MOLPP is converted into a single LPP by using various techniques and then the solution of LPP thus formed is recovered by Gauss elimination technique. MOLPP is concerned with the linear programming problems of maximizing or minimizing, the linear objective function having more than one objective along with subject to a set of constraints having linear inequalities in nature. Modeling of Gauss elimination technique of inequalities is derived for numerical solution of linear programming problem by using concept of bounds. The method is quite useful because the calculations involved are simple as compared to other existing methods and takes least time. The same has been illustrated by a numerical example for each technique discussed here.

Abstract A number of methods and techniques for determining “effective” solutions for multiple objective linear programming problems (MPP) have been developed. In this study, we will present two simple methods for determining an efficient solution for a MPP that reducing the given problem to a one-objective linear programming problem. One of these methods falls under the category of methods of weighted metrics, and the other is an approach similar to the ε- constraint method. The solutions determined by the two methods are not only effective and are found on the Pareto frontier, but are also “the best” in terms of distance to the optimal solutions for all objective function from the MPP. Obviously, besides the optimal solutions of linear programming problems in which we take each objective function, we can also consider the ideal point and Nadir point, in order to take into account all the notions that have been introduced to provide a solution to this problem

A Grey Linear Programming problem differs from an ordinary one to the fact that the coefficients of its objective function and / or the technological coefficients and constants of its constraints are grey instead of real numbers. In this work a new method is developed for solving such kind of problems by the whitenization of the grey numbers involved and the solution of the obtained in this way ordinary Linear Programming problem with a standard method. The values of the decision variables in the optimal solution may then be converted to grey numbers to facilitate a vague expression of it, but this must be strictly checked to avoid non creditable such expressions. Examples are also presented to illustrate the applicability of our method in real life applications.

The neutrosophic primal simplex algorithm starts from a neutrosophic basic feasible solution. If there is no such a solution, we cannot apply the neutrosophic primal simplex method for solving the neutrosophic linear programming problem. In this chapter, the authors propose a neutrosophic two-phase method involving neutrosophic artificial variables to obtain an initial neutrosophic basic feasible solution to a slightly modified set of constraints. Then the neutrosophic primal simplex method is used to eliminate the neutrosophic artificial variables and to solve the original problem.

In the real-world optimization problems, coefficients of the objective function are not known precisely and can be interpreted as fuzzy numbers. In this paper we define the concepts of optimality for linear programming problems with fuzzy parameters based on those for multiobjective linear programming problems. Then by using the concept of comparison of fuzzy numbers, we transform a linear programming problem with fuzzy parameters to a multiobjective linear programming problem. To this end, we propose several theorems which are used to obtain optimal solutions of linear programming problems with fuzzy parameters. Finally some examples are given for illustrating the proposed method of solving linear programming problem with fuzzy parameters.

In this paper we wish to solve multi-objective fully fuzzified linear programming problems which are multi-objective linear programming problems where all the parameters and variables are fuzzy numbers. We change this problem into a single objective fuzzy linear programming problem and then show that our solution procedure can be used to explore the whole undominated set. An evolutionary algorithm is then designed to generate undominated solutions. An example is presented showing our evolutionary algorithm solution.

Introduction. When formulating the classical two-stage transportation problem, it is assumed that the product is transported from suppliers to consumers through intermediate points. Intermediary firms and various kinds of storage facilities (warehouses) can act as intermediate points. The article discusses two mathematical models for two-stage transportation problem (linear programming problem and quadratic programming problem) and a fairly universal way to solve them using modern software. It uses the description of the problem in the modeling language AMPL (A Mathematical Programming Language) and depends on which of the known programs is chosen to solve the problem of linear or quadratic programming. The purpose of the article is to propose the use of AMPL code for solving a linear programming two-stage transportation problem using modern software for linear programming problems, to formulate a mathematical model of a quadratic programming two-stage transportation problem and to investigate its properties. Results. The properties of two variants of a two-stage transportation problem are described: a linear programming problem and a quadratic programming problem. An AMPL code for solving a linear programming two-stage transportation problem using modern software for linear programming problems is given. The results of the calculation using Gurobi program for a linear programming two-stage transportation problem, which has many solutions, are presented and analyzed. A quadratic programming two-stage transportation problem was formulated and conditions were found under which it has unique solution. Conclusions. The developed AMPL-code for a linear programming two-stage transportation problem and its modification for a quadratic programming two-stage transportation problem can be used to solve various logistics transportation problems using modern software for solving mathematical programming problems. The developed AMPL code can be easily adapted to take into account the lower and upper bounds for the quantity of products transported from suppliers to intermediate points and from intermediate points to consumers. Keywords: transportation problem, linear programming problem, AMPL modeling language, Gurobi program, quadratic programming problem.
