Optimization of $\text{LR}$-Type Fully Bipolar Fuzzy Linear Programming Problems

Abstract

In this study, we present a technique to solve LR -type fully bipolar fuzzy linear programming problems (FBFLPPs) with equality constraints. We define LR -type bipolar fuzzy numbers and their arithmetic operations. We discuss multiplication of LR -type bipolar fuzzy numbers. Furthermore, we develop a method to solve LR -type FBFLPPs with equality constraints involving LR -type bipolar fuzzy numbers as parameters and variables. Moreover, we define ranking for LR -type bipolar fuzzy numbers which transform the LR -type FBFLPP into a crisp linear programming problem. Finally, we consider numerical examples to illustrate the proposed method.
