Duality theory in fuzzy optimization problems formulated by the Wolfe's primal and dual pair

摘要

The weak and strong duality theorems in fuzzy optimization problem based on the formulation of Wolfe's primal and dual pair problems are derived in this paper. The solution concepts of primal and dual problems are inspired by the nondominated solution concept employed in multiobjective programming problems, since the ordering among the fuzzy numbers introduced in this paper is a partial ordering. In order to consider the differentiation of a fuzzy-valued function, we invoke the Hausdorff metric to define the distance between two fuzzy numbers and the Hukuhara difference to define the difference of two fuzzy numbers. Under these settings, the Wolfe's dual problem can be formulated by considering the gradients of differentiable fuzzy-valued functions. The concept of having no duality gap in weak and strong sense are also introduced, and the strong duality theorems in weak and strong sense are then derived naturally.
