A novel approach for solving decision-making problems with stochastic linear-fractional models

Stochastic chance-constrained optimization has a wide range of real-world applications. In some real-world applications, the decision-maker has to formulate the problem as a fractional model where some or all of the coefficients are random variables with joint probability distribution. Therefore, th...

description Stochastic chance-constrained optimization has a wide range of real-world applications. In some real-world applications, the decision-maker has to formulate the problem as a fractional model where some or all of the coefficients are random variables with joint probability distribution. Therefore, these types of problems can deal with bi-objective problems and reflect system efficiency. In this paper, we present a novel approach to formulate and solve stochastic chance-constrained linear fractional programming models. This approach is an extension of the deterministic fractional model. The proposed approach, for solving these types of stochastic decision-making problems with the fractional objective function, is constructed using the following two-step procedure. In the first stage, we transform the stochastic linear fractional model into two stochastic linear models using the goal programming approach, where the first goal represents the numerator and the second goal represents the denominator for the stochastic fractional model. The resulting stochastic goal programming problem is formulated.
