Abstract
Fuzzy multiobjective linear bilevel programming (FMOLBP) problems are studied in this paper. The existing methods replace one or some deterministic model(s) instead of the problem and solve the model(s). Doing this work, we lose much information about the compromise decision, and it does not make sense for the uncertain conditions. To overcome the difficulties, Zadeh’s extension principle is applied to solve the FMOLBP problems. Two crisp multiobjective linear three-level programming problems are proposed to find the lower and upper bound of its objective values in different levels. The problems are reduced to some linear optimization problems using one of the scalarization approaches, called the weighting method, the dual theory, and the vertex enumeration method. The lower and upper bounds are estimated by the resolution of the corresponding linear optimization problems. Hence, the membership functions of compromise objective values are produced, which is the main contribution of this paper. This technique is applied for the problem for the first time. This method applies all information of a fuzzy number and does not estimate it by a crisp number. Hence, the compromise decision resulted from the proposed method is consistent with reality. This point can minimize the gap between theory and practice. The results are compared with the results of existing approaches. It shows the efficiency of the proposed approach.
