Abstract

In this paper, we focus on two-level linear programming problems involving random variable coefficients in objective functions and constraints. According to the concept of chance constrained programming, the two-level stochastic linear programming problems are transformed into deterministic ones through the expectation optimization model and the variance minimization model. After introducing fuzzy goals for objective functions, interactive fuzzy programming to derive a satisfactory solution for decision makers is presented as a fusion of stochastic approach and fuzzy one. An illustrative numerical example is provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method.
