In this chapter we have proposed a new general approach to fuzzy single and multicriteria linear programming problems with fuzzy coefficients. A unifying concept of this approach is the concept of a fuzzy relation, particularly fuzzy extension of the inequality or equality relation and the concept of an aggregation operator.
We have formulated the FLP problem, defined a feasible solution of the FLP problem and dealt with the problem of “optimal solution” of FLP problems. Two approaches have been introduced: the satisficing solution based on externalgoals modeled by fuzzy quantities, and the
α
-efficient (nondominated) solution. Then our interest has been focused on the problem of duality in FLP. Finally, we have also dealt with the multicriteria case. We have formulated a fuzzy multicriteria linear programming problem, defined a compromise solution and derived basic results. The chapter has been closed with a numerical example.
