On the efficiency test in multi-objective linear fractional programming problems by Lotfi et al. 2010

The solution concept in multi-objective programming is represented by a program which reaches “the best compromise”. Many solving methods find a good compromise feasible solution and then check whether the solution is efficient or not. In this paper, using the efficiency test introduced by Lotfi et al. (2010) 12], we propose two procedures for deriving weakly and strongly efficient solutions in multi-objective linear fractional programming problems (MOLFPP) starting from any feasible solution, and present their possible applications in multiple criteria decision-making process. Then, we discuss a shortcoming of some fuzzy approaches to solving MOLFPP and modify them in order to guarantee the efficiency of the optimal solution.
