Abstract

In this paper, a solution procedure is proposed to solve Fully Fuzzy Linear Fractional Programming (FFLFP) problem where all the variables and parameters are triangular fuzzy numbers. Here, FFLFP problem transformed into an equivalent Multi- Objective Linear Fractional Programming (MOLFP) problem. Then MOLFP converted into an equivalent multi objective linear programming problem by using mathematical programming approach. The proposed solution illustrated through numerical examples and compared with existing methods.
