In fuzzy sets, the elements of a universal set may belong to that set completely, may not belong to that set, or may belong partially. Therefore, fuzzy sets are called generalizations of crisp sets. Due to the diverse nature of problems in real-world situations, fuzzy set theory is found to be unable to address some of the other features of ambiguity. Therefore, researchers extended fuzzy sets to picture fuzzy sets, orthopair, intuitionistic, Pythagorean, Fermatean, neutrosophic, spherical fuzzy sets, etc. Real-world problems can be solved using the method of fractional programming. Decision-makers are trying to get good results using generalized fuzzy numbers in fractional programming problems; hence, this review paper provides a specific framework for generalized fuzzy sets and generalized fuzzy fractional programming problems. Furthermore, it is a platform for researchers who want to work on generalized fuzzy parameter-based fractional programming problems. This research paper summarizes all the basic concepts and prior research on fractional programming and generalized fuzzy linear fractional programming problems.
