Description
Summary:Epistemic uncertainty such as fuzzy based linear programming problem with equality constraints has been considered here. Fuzziness presents in system parameters are modelled using Trapezoidal Fuzzy Number (TrFN). In the considered problem the coefficients are defined as crisp while the decision variables as well as the right-hand side of the constraints are taken as fuzzy. Accordingly, a new method to solve the problem based on the fuzzy centre and radius has been proposed here. First the problem is solved for fuzzy centre and next the bounds of the fuzzy variable are replaced in terms of fuzzy centre and radius. Then using the obtained fuzzy centre solution there one can have the radius of the solution. Finally using the results for centre and radius one can get the final solution. For the implementation of this proposed methodology LINGO 18.0 software has been used. Consequently, optimal fuzzy feasible solution has been obtained to get the optimal value (maximum/minimum) of the fuzzy objective function. Moreover, various numerical examples have been solved using the proposed method and the obtained solutions are compared with the solution of existing methods for validation. Moreover, it has been observed that present methods overcome the limitations of Maleki (Maleki in Far East J Math Sci 4:283–301, 2002), Nasseri (Nasseri in Appl Math Sci 2:2473–2480, 2008), Mahdavi-Amiri and Nasseri (Mahdavi-Amiri and Nasseri in Fuzzy Sets Syst 158:1961–1978, 2007) and Saati et al. (Saati et al. in Int J Inf Decis Sci 7:312–333, 2015), and clearly the advantages of the proposed method are discussed in conclusion section.
