A New Method for Solving Integer Linear Programming Problems with Fuzzy Variables

Abstract

A new method namely, decomposition method for solving integer linear programming problems with fuzzy variables by using classical integer linear programming has been proposed. In the decomposition method, ranking functions are not used. The proposed method can serve managers by providing the best solution to a variety of integer linear programming problems with fuzzy variables in a simple and effective manner. With the help of numerical examples, the decomposition method is illustrated. Mathematics Subject Classifications: 90C10, 90C70, 90C90, 65K05
