Abstract

The objective of this paper is to deal with a kind of fuzzy linear programming problem involving triangular fuzzy numbers. Then some interesting and fundamental results are achieved which in turn lead to a solution of fuzzy linear programming models without converting the problems to the crisp linear programming models. Finally, the theoretical results are also supported by a real case study in a banking system. The same idea is emphasized to be also useful when a general LR fuzzy numbers is given.
