Solution of multiobjective linear programming problems in interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environment

Abstract

The present paper gives a new computational algorithm for the solution of multiobjective linear programming (MOLP) problem in interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (IV-IF) environment. In MOLP problem which occurs in agricultural production planning, industrial planning and waste management. The parameters involved in real-life MOLP problems are impure, and several pioneer works have been done based on fuzzy or intuitionistic fuzzy sets for its compromise solutions. But many times the degree of membership and non-membership for certain element is not defined in exact numbers, so we observe another important kind of uncertainty. Thus fixed values of membership and non-membership cannot handle such uncertainty involved in real-life MOLP problem. Atanassov and Gargov first identified it and presented concept of IV-IF sets which is characterized by sub-intervals of unit interval. In this paper, we study IV-IF sets and develop a new computational method for the solution of real-life MOLP problems based on IV-IF sets. Further, the developed method has been presented in the form of a computational algorithm and implemented on a production problem, and solutions are compared with other existing methods.
