A novel Approach for Fully Intuitionistic Fuzzy Multi-Objective Fractional Transportation Problem

Abstract

This paper exhibits a novel approach for solving fully intuitionistic fuzzy multi-objective fractional transportation problem (FIF-MOFTP). Because of the change of market policies, we expect that the transportation cost, the shipped quantity, the source, and the destination parameters are not generally exact. In this paper, a theorem which demonstrate that FIF-MOFTP is ever solvable was presented. In our approach, the problem is converted into a linear one based on some transformations. Then the linearized model is reduced to a crisp multi-objective transportation problem utilizing the accuracy function for each objective. Moreover, various theorems that set up the relation among the FIF-MOFTP and its equivalent crisp model using linear, hyperbolic, and parabolic membership functions are also proofed. To approve the proposed approach, a numerical example is incorporated. Deductions and future exploration of this paper are depicted at end.
