Solution algorithms for a class of continuous linear programs with fuzzy valued objective functions
2010
This paper discusses a class of continuous linear programs with fuzzy valued objective functions. A member of this class is called a fuzzy separated continuous linear program (FSCLP). Such problems have applications in a number of domains, including, production and inventory systems, communication networks, and pipeline systems for transportation. The discretization approach is used to construct two ordinary fuzzy linear programming problems, which give a lower and an upper bound on the optimal value of FSCLP. It is then shown how to construct an improved feasible solution for FSCLP starting from a nonoptimal one. This leads to the development of a class of algorithms based on a sequence of discrete approximations to FSCLP. Numerical examples in the context of continuous-time networks are presented to show the applicability of the proposed method.
