Abstract

In this paper, a multi-objective faculty course allocation problem with result analysis and feedback analysis based on uncertain preferences mathematical model is presented. To deal with an uncertain model, three different ranking criteria are being used to develop: a) Expected value, b) Optimistic value, c) Dependent optimistic value criterion. These mathematical models are transformed into their corresponding deterministic forms using the basic concepts of uncertainty theory. The deterministic model of DOCM consists of fractional objectives which are converted into their linear form using Charnes and Cooper’s transformation. These deterministic formulations MOFCAP are converted into a single objective problem by using the fuzzy programming technique with linear and exponential membership functions. Further, the single objective problem for all the defined models is solved in the Lingo 18.0 software to derive the Pareto-optimal solution. The sensitivity of the models is also performed to examine the variation in the objective function due to the variation in parameters. Finally, a numerical example is given to exhibit the application and algorithm of the models.

Keywords- University course scheduling, 0-1 integer programming, Uncertainty theory, Fractional programming, Fuzzy programming approach.
