This document presents a two-stage method for solving fuzzy transportation problems where the costs, supplies, and demands are represented by symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. In the first stage, the problem is solved to satisfy minimum demand requirements. Remaining supplies are then distributed in the second stage to further minimize costs. A numerical example demonstrates using robust ranking techniques to convert the fuzzy problem into a crisp one, which is then solved using a zero suffix method. The total optimal costs from both stages provide the solution to the original fuzzy transportation problem.

In this paper, we propose four algorithms for L1 norm computation of regression parameters, where two of them are more efficient for simple and multiple regression models. However, we start with restricted simple linear regression and corresponding derivation and computation of the weighted median problem. In this respect, a computing function is coded. With discussion on the m parameters model, we continue to expand the algorithm to include unrestricted simple linear regression, and two crude and efficient algorithms are proposed. The procedures are then generalized to the m parameters model by presenting two new algorithms, where the algorithm 4 is selected as more efficient. Various properties of these algorithms are discussed.
A Method for the Reduction 0f Linear High Order MIMO Systems Using Interlacin...IJMTST Journal
This paper presents a new mixed method for the reduction of linear high order MIMO system. This method
is based upon the interlacing property by which the denominator polynomial of the reduced order model is
obtained and the numerator is obtained by using factor division method. In general, the stability of the high
order system is retained in their models. Better approximation of the time response characteristics is
attained by using this suggested method. The number of computations has been reduced when compared to
several of the existing methods are in international literature. Another advantage of this method is that it is a
direct method. The suggested procedure is digital computer oriented.
In this paper generation of binary sequences derived from chaotic sequences defined over Z4 is proposed.
The six chaotic map equations considered in this paper are Logistic map, Tent Map, Cubic Map, Quadratic
Map and Bernoulli Map. Using these chaotic map equations, sequences over Z4 are generated which are
converted to binary sequences using polynomial mapping. Segments of sequences of different lengths are
tested for cross correlation and linear complexity properties. It is found that some segments of different
length of these sequences have good cross correlation and linear complexity properties. The Bit Error Rate
performance in DS-CDMA communication systems using these binary sequences is found to be better than
Gold sequences and Kasami sequences.

proposed a new approach based on the iterative procedure for
the solution of a Quadratic Programming Problem by Wolfe’s

some NLPP it takes more number of iteration to achieve

the basis of new rules described below. This powerful technique
is better understood by resolving a cycling problem.

A new method namely, objective separable method based on simplex method is proposed for

Optimization problems can be divided into two categories, depending on whether the variables are continuous or discrete:
An optimization problem with discrete variables is known as a discrete optimization, in which an object such as an integer, permutation or graph must be found from a countable set.
A problem with continuous variables is known as a continuous optimization, in which an optimal value from a continuous function must be found. They can include constrained problems and multimodal problems.
New approach for wolfe’s modified simplex method to solve quadratic programmi...eSAT Journals
Abstract
In this paper, an alternative method for Wolfe’s modified simplex method is introduced. This method is easy to solve quadratic programming problem (QPP) concern with non-linear programming problem (NLPP). In linear programming models, the characteristic assumption is the linearity of the objective function and constraints. Although this assumption holds in numerous practical situations, yet we come across many situations where the objective function and some or all of the constraints are non-linear functions. The non-linearity of the functions makes the solution of the problem much more involved as compared to LPPs and there is no single algorithm like the simplex method, which can be employed to solve efficiently all NPPs.
Keywords: Quadratic programming problem, New approach, Modified simplex method, and Optimal solution.

NEW APPROACH FOR SOLVING FUZZY TRIANGULAR ASSIGNMENT BY ROW MINIMA METHODIAEME Publication
The Fuzzy Assignment Problem (FAP) is a classic combinatorial optimization problem that has received a lot of attention. FAP has a wide range of uses. We suggest a new algorithm that combines to solve the FAP in this paper. Each column is maximized during the optimization process, and the best choice with the lowest cost is selected. The proposed method follows a standard methodology, is simple to execute, and takes less effort to compute. An order to obtain the best solution, the assignment problem is specifically solved here. We looked at how well trapezoidal fuzzy numbers performed. Then, to convert crisp numbers, we use the robust ranking method for trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. The optimality of the result provided by this new method is clarified by a numerical example.

In conventional transportation problem (TP), supplies, demands and costs are always certain. This paper develops an approach to solve the unbalanced transportation problem where as all the parameters are not in deterministic numbers but imprecise ones. Here, all the parameters of the TP are considered to the triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TIFNs). The existing ranking procedure of Varghese and Kuriakose is used to transform the unbalanced intuitionistic fuzzy transportation problem (UIFTP) into a crisp one so that the conventional method may be applied to solve the TP. The occupied cells of unbalanced crisp TP that we obtained are as same as the occupied cells of UIFTP.
On the basis of this idea the solution procedure is differs from unbalanced crisp TP to UIFTP in allocation step only. Therefore, the new method and new multiplication operation on triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number (TIFN) is proposed to find the optimal solution in terms of TIFN. The main advantage of this method is computationally very simple, easy to understand and also the optimum objective value obtained by our method is physically meaningful.

I. INTRODUCTION
The Transportation problem is a special type of linear programming problem which deals with the distribution
of single product (raw or finished) from various sources of supply to various destination of demand in such a
way that the total transportation cost is minimized. There are effective algorithms for solving the transportation
problems when all the decision parameters, i.e. thesupply available at each source, the demand required at each
destination as well as the unit transportation costs are given in a precise way
In some circumstances due to storage constraints, designations are unable to receive the quantity in
excess of their minimum demand. After consuming part of whole of this initial shipment, they are prepared to
receive the excess quantity in the second stage. According to Sonia and Rita Malhotra [1], in such situations the
product transported to the destination has two stages. Just enough of the product is shipped in stage-I so that the
minimum requirements of the destinations are satisfied and having done this the surplus quantities (if any) at the
sources are shipped to the destinations according to cost consideration. In both the stages the transportation of
the product from sources to the destinations is done in parallel. The aim is to minimize the sum of the
transportation costs in two stages. Here, a ranking technique is used for solving two stage fuzzy transportation
problem, where transportation cost, demand and supply are in the form of symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy numbers.
II. PRELIMINARIES
Zadeh[2] in 1965 first introduced Fuzzy set as a mathematical way of representing impreciseness or vagueness
in everyday life.
2.1 Definition:
A fuzzy set is characterized by a membership function mapping elements of a domain, space, or universe of
discourse X to the unit interval [0, 1].
(i.e) A = {(x, 𝜇 𝐴(x) ; x Є X}, Here𝜇 𝐴 : X →[0,1] is a mapping called the degree of membership function of the
fuzzy set A and 𝜇 𝐴(x) is called the membership value of x ϵ X in the fuzzy set A. These membership grades are
often represented by real numbers ranging from [0,1]
2.2 Definition:
A fuzzy set A of the universe of discourse X is called a normal fuzzy set implying that there exist at least
one x ϵ X such that 𝜇 𝐴 (x) = 1.
2.3 Definition (Symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy number):
A fuzzy number 𝐴 = (𝑎, 𝑏, 𝑐, 𝑐) is said to be symmetric Tapezoidal fuzzy number if its membership
function 𝜇 𝐴(𝑥) is given by
𝝁 𝑨 𝒙 =
𝒙 + 𝒄 − 𝒂
𝒄
, (𝒄 − 𝒂) ≤ 𝒙 ≤ 𝒄
𝟏 , 𝒂 < 𝑥 < 𝑏
−𝒙 + 𝒃 + 𝒄
𝒄
, 𝒃 ≤ 𝒙 ≤ 𝒃 + 𝒄
𝟎 , 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒘𝒊𝒔𝒆

III. ROBUST RANKING TECHNIQUES:
Robust ranking technique[6] which satisfies compensation, linearity, and additivity properties and provides
results which are consistent with human intuition. Give a convex fuzzy number ã, the Robust Ranking Index is
defined by
𝑹 𝒂 = 𝟎. 𝟓(𝒂 𝜶
𝑳𝟏
𝟎
, 𝒂 𝜶
𝑼
)𝒅𝜶, where (𝑎 𝛼
𝐿
, 𝑎 𝛼
𝑈
) is a α-level cut of a fuzzy number ã.
In this paper we use this method for ranking the objective values. The Robust
ranking index R (ã) gives the representative value of the fuzzy number ã.
IV. ZERO SUFFIX METHOD
The zero suffix method proceeds as follows.
Step 1:Construct the transportation table for the given TP and check the balanced condition. If not, convert it
into balanced one.
Step 2:Subtract each row entries of the transportation table from the row minimum.
Step 3:subtract each column entries of the resulting transportation table after using the Step 2 from the column
minimum.
Step 4:In the reduced cost matrix there will be atleast one zero in each row and column, then find the suffix
value of all the zeros in the reduced cost matrix by following simplification, the suffix value is denoted by S,
S = Add the costs of nearest adjacent sides of zero / No. of costs added
Step 5:Choose the maximum of S, if it has one maximum value then supply to that demand corresponding to the
cell. If it has more equal values then select {ai,bj } and supply to that demand maximum possible.
Step 6:After the above step, the exhausted demands (column) or supplies (row) are to be trimmed. If 𝑎𝑖 = 𝑏𝑗 ,
cross out either ith row or jth column but not both. The resultant matrix must possess atleast one zero is each
row and each column, else repeat step2 and step3.
Step 7: Repeat Step 4 to Step 6 until the optimal cost is obtained.
V. NUMERICAL EXAMPLE
Consider the Fuzzy transportation problem. Here cost value, supplies and demands are trapezoidal fuzzy
number. Here𝑎𝑖 and 𝑏𝑗 are Fuzzy Supply and Fuzzy Demand. Robust Ranking technique is used to finding the
initial basic feasible solution.

solution has been originated from crisp and fuzzy optimal total cost of given example. Moreover, using Robust
ranking Method and Zero suffix method can conclude that the solution of fuzzy problem obtained more
accurately and effectively.
