Abstract

This study focuses on MATLAB code programs of the entire stages of solving Stochastic Transportation Linear Programming Problems with Fuzzy Uncertainty Information on Probability Distribution Space (STLPPFI) with its algorithm outlines. A MATLAB code program of STLPPFI problem solver with algorithm outlines are proposed to solve STLPPFI model problems, and it utilizes many concepts as Alpha-Cut technique, Truth Degrees technique, Linear Fuzzy Membership Function (LFMF), Trapezoidal Fuzzy Number , Triangular Fuzzy Number , Linear Fuzzy Ranking Function (LFRF), Expectation Weighted Summation technique (EWS) and analyzing cases via second condition test of alpha-cut technique. The STLPPFI problem solver is utlized to convert STLPPFI into its corresponding equivalent Deterministic Transportation Linear Programming Problem (DTLPP) via defuzzifying from fuzziness on probability distribution space and derandomization randomness of problem formulation respectively. In addition, Dual-Simplex algorithm method with Vogel Approximation Algorithm Method (VAM) are used to obtain optimal solution from DTLPP. All MATLAB code programs with their proposed algorithm outlines are new except Dual-Simplex and VAM. The MATLAB code program of STLPPFI problem solver are more efficient along with a numerical example on electricity field illustrating practicability of this proposed MATLAB code program with its algorithm. Finally, the solution procedure illustrates the MATLAB code program of the proposed method is practical and applicable in the fields of energy and industry as it facilitates the method of transforming the energy at the lowest cost, least time running and is commercially applicable. Comparative comments are provided between Dual-Simplex and VAM in solution process.
