Recently, linear programming problems with symmetric fuzzy numbers (LPSFN) have considered by some authors and have proposed a new method for solving these problems without converting to the classical linear programming problem, where the cost coefficients are symmetric fuzzy numbers (see in [4]). Here we extend their results and first prove the optimality theorem and then define the dual problem of LPSFN problem. Furthermore, we give some duality results as a natural extensions of duality results for linear programming problems with crisp data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
