Finding A Basic Feasible Solution For Neutrosophic Linear Programming Models Case Studies Analysis And Improvements

Since the inception of operations research, linear programming has received the attention of researchers in this field due to the many areas of its use. The focus was on the methods used to find the optimal solution for linear models. The direct simplex method, with its three basic stages, begins by writing the linear model in standard form and then finding a basic solution that is improved according to the simplex steps until We get the optimal solution, but we encounter many linear models that do not give us a basic solution after we put it in a standard form, and here we need to solve a rule through which we reach the optimal solution. For these models, researchers and scholars in the field of operations research introduced the simplex method with an artificial basis, which helped to Find the optimal solution for linear models, given the importance of this method and as a complement to the previous research we presented using the concepts of neutrosophic science. In this research, we will reformulate the simplex algorithm with an artificial basis using concepts of neutrosophic science.

Smarandache presented neutrosophic theory as a tool for handling undetermined information. Wang et al. introduced a single valued neutrosophic set that is a special neutrosophic sets and can be used expediently to deal with real-world problems, especially in decision support.

Linear Programming (LP) is an essential approach in mathematical programming because it is a viable technique used for addressing linear systems involving linear parameters and continuous constraints. The most important use of LP resides in solving the issues requiring resource management. Because many real-world issues are too complicated to be accurately characterized, indeterminacy is often present in every engineering planning process. Neutrosophic logic, which is an application of intuitionistic fuzzy sets, is a useful logic for dealing with indeterminacy. Neutrosophic Linear Programming (NLP) issues are essential in neutrosophic modelling because they may express uncertainty in the physical universe. Numerous techniques have been proposed to alleviate NLP difficulties. On the surface, the current approaches in the specialized literature are unable to tackle issues with non-deterministic variables. In other words, no method for solving a truly neutrosophic problem has been offered. For the first time, a unique approach is provided for tackling Fully Neutrosophic Linear Programming (FNLP) problems in this study. The proposed study uses a decomposition method to break the FNLP problem into three separate bounded problems. Then, these problems are solved using simplex techniques. Unlike other existing methods, the proposed method can solve NLP problems with neutrosophic values for variables. In this research, the decision-makers have the freedom to consider the variables with neutrosophic structure, while obtaining the optimal objective value as a crisp number. It should also be noted that the typical NLP problems, which can be solved by means of the existing methods, can also be solved through the method proposed in this paper.

In this article, we present deterministic single objective economic order quantity model with limited storage capacity in neutrosophic environment. We consider variable limit production cost and time dependent holding cost into account. Here we minimize total average cost of proposed model by applying neutrosophic geometric programming, which is obtained by extending existing fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy geometric programming for solving resultant non-linear optimization model. Next we consider numerical application to show that optimal solution obtained by neutrosophic geometric programming is more desirable than that of crisp, fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy geometric programming. Also we perform sensitivity analysis of parameters and present key managerial insights. Finally we draw the conclusions.

The most widely used technique for solving and optimizing a real-life problem is linear programming (LP), due to its simplicity and efficiency. However, in order to handle the impreciseness in the data, the neutrosophic set theory plays a vital role which makes a simulation of the decision-making process of humans by considering all aspects of decision (i.e., agree, not sure and disagree). By keeping the advantages of it, in the present work, we have introduced the neutrosophic LP models where their parameters are represented with a trapezoidal neutrosophic numbers and presented a technique for solving them. The presented approach has been illustrated with some numerical examples and shows their superiority with the state of the art by comparison. Finally, we conclude that proposed approach is simpler, efficient and capable of solving the LP models as compared to other methods.

“Neutrosophic Sets and Systems” has been created for publications on advanced studies in neutrosophy, neutrosophic set, neutrosophic logic, neutrosophic probability, neutrosophic statistics that started in 1995 and their applications in any field, such as the neutrosophic structures developed in algebra, geometry, topology, etc.

"Combines the theoretical and practical aspects of linear and integer programming. Provides practical case studies and techniques, including rounding-off, column-generation, game theory, multiobjective optimization, and goal programming, as well as real-world solutions to the transportation and transshipment problem, project scheduling, and decentralization."

Linear Programming is a well-written introduction to the techniques and applications of linear programming. It clearly shows readers how to model, solve, and interpret appropriate linear programming problems. Feiring has presented several carefully-chosen examples which provide a foundation for mathematical modelling and demonstrate the wide scope of the techniques. He subsequently develops an understanding of the Simplex Method and Sensitivity Analysis and includes a discussion of computer codes for linear programming. This book should encourage the spread of linear programming techniques throughout the social sciences and, since it has been developed from Feiring's own class notes, it is ideal for students, particularly those with a limited background in quantitative methods.
