Interactive fuzzy programming approach to Bi-level quadratic fractional programming problems

In this paper we propose an interactive fuzzy programming method for obtaining a satisfactory solution to a "bi-level quadratic fractional programming problem" with two decision makers (DMs) interacting with their optimal solutions. After determining the fuzzy goals of the DMs at both levels, a satisfactory solution is efficiently derived by updating the satisfactory level of the DM at the upper level with consideration of overall satisfactory balance between both levels. Optimal solutions to the formulated programming problems are obtained by combined use of some of the proper methods. Theoretical results are illustrated with the help of a numerical example.
