Abstract:
In this paper, we have introduced a new approach to solve a class of interval linear programming (ILP) problems. Firstly, the novel concept of an interval ordering relation is further developed to make desired solution feasible. Secondly, according to the 3σ law of normal distribution, a new equivalent transformation for constraints with the interval-valued coefficients of ILP is justified. Accordingly, the uncertainty stemmed from interval number could be replaced by the uncertainty of random variables. Consequently, the classical methodology of stochastic linear programming, a chance constrained programming model based on normal distribution is designed to work out the equivalent form of the original problem. This is because it allows us to carry out the optimization operation with a certain calibrated probability. A typical numerical example is given to illustrate how to apply equivalent transformation in order to realize ILP. Finally, we conclude this paper by elaborated comparisons among our method and selected existing solutions to advance our confidence of our research results as to their correctness and effectiveness. © 2015, Springer Science+Business Media New York.
