On neutrosophic multi-level multi-objective linear programming problem with application in transportation problem.

In this research, we use the harmonic mean technique to present an interactive strategy for addressing neutrosophic multi-level multi-objective linear programming (NMMLP) problems. The coefficients of the objective functions of level decision makers and constraints are represented by neutrosophic numbers. By using the interval programming technique, the NMMLP problem is transformed into two crisp MMLP problems, one of these problems is an MMLP problem with all of its coefficients being upper approximations of neutrosophic numbers, while the other is an MMLP problem with all of its coefficients being lower approximations of neutrosophic numbers. The harmonic mean method is then used to combine the many objectives of each crisp problem into a single objective. Then, a preferred solution for NMMLP problems is obtained by solving the single-objective linear programming problem. An application of our research problem is how to determine the optimality the cost of multi-objective transportation problem with neutrosophic environment. To demonstrate the proposed strategies, numerical examples are solved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
