Abstract: In this paper, we mainly investigate the fractional solid transportation problem, in which the supplies, the demands and the conveyance capacities are supposed to be fuzzy variables. Moreover, the crisp equivalences are also discussed for different models. The optimality for a transportation problem using duality and fuzzy fractional programming approach is studied. Numerical example is provided to illustrate the problem.
Keywords: fractional solid transport problem; fuzzy fractional programming; duality theory; supplies; demand; conveyance capacities; fuzzy variables; fuzzy logic; optimisation.
