Abstract

This paper presents a method to solve multi-objective fuzzy quadratic programming problem (MOFQPP) using a Taylor series. In the proposed approach, membership functions associated with each objective of multi-objective fuzzy quadratic programming problem (MOFQPP) are transformed by using a first order Taylor polynomial series, and hence the problem is reduced to a single objective linear programming. At the end, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.

Keywords and phrases: multi-objective fuzzy quadratic programming problem, linear complementarity problem, Lemke’s method, Taylor series.
