Abstract
In this paper, a Mond-Weir type dual program for a nonlinear primal problem under fuzzy environment is formulated. The solution concept of primal-dual problems is inspired by the nondominated solution. We have considered ordering among fuzzy numbers as a partial ordering and using the concept of Hukuhara difference between two fuzzy numbers and \(H\)-differentiability, appropriate duality theorems are established under pseudo/quasi-convexity assumptions. We have also illustrated a numerical example which satisfies the duality relations discussed in the paper.
