Abstract

Inthis paper, a method is proposed to solve the Multi- objective linear programming problem (MOLPP);the method uses the idea of an order relation to rank the interval numbers.It checks the dominance of the optimal objective values,which are assumed to be an interval numbers by comparing order relations based on their mid-points and radius.Moreover, we demonstrate some numerical examples which show that,the proposed method could be a worthy alternative.
