Description
Summary:In general, mathematical models to reflect real-world complicated decision situations, are often formulated as largescale programming problems which include a large number of variables and/or constraints. Furthermore, considering the fuzziness of human's subjective judgement in real-world decision making, it is necessary to deal with the large-scale programming problems in the fuzzy environment. From such a point of view, in this paper, under the assumption that the decision maker (DM) has fuzzy goal for each of the objective functions and the corresponding membership function may be nonlinear, a 3-level optimization method is proposed for large-scale multiobjective nonlinear programming problems (LS-MONLPs) with the block angular structure to obtain the compromise solution of the DM. Based on the proposed algorithm, the computer program is developed in FORTRAN language, and applied to the numerical example to clarify the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
