Fuzzy fractional signomial programming problem is a relatively new optimization problem. In real world problems, some variables may vacillate because of various reasons. To tackle these vacillating variables, vagueness is considered in form of fuzzy sets. In this paper, a nonlinear fuzzy fractional signomial programming problem is considered with all its coefficients in objective functions as well as constraints are fuzzy numbers. Two solution approaches are developed based on signomial geometric programming comprising nearest interval approximation with parametric interval valued functions and fuzzy α-cut with min-max approach. To demonstrate the proposed methods, two illustrative numerical examples are solved and the results are comparatively discussed showing its feasibility and effectiveness.
In some decision making problems, objective function can be defined as the ratio of two linear functional subjects to given constraints. These types of problems are known as linear fractional programming problems. The importance of linear fractional programming problems comes from the fact that many real life problems can be expressed as the ratio of physical or economical values represented by linear functions, for example traffic planning, game theory and production planning etc. In this article, correspond to a production planning problem the mathematical model developed, is a linear fractional programming and in order to solve it, various fractional programming techniques has been used. Finally result is compared with the solution obtained by graphical method. To illustrate the efficiency of stated method a numerical example has given.
