Abstract

In this paper,we study a linear fractional programming problem in which the objective function coefficients, technological coefficients and the right-handside coefficients are fuzzy numbers.We present a vertex-following solution method using a linear ranking function. In fact, the proposed method is similar to the simplex method used for solving crisp linear fractional programming problems.
