Abstract: In this paper, we propose a new model for linear fractional programming problem with absolute value functions. The major contribution of this paper is that transformation of linear fractional programming problem into separate linear programming problems with some theorems and then solution of these problems by popular algorithm. This work also used to simplex type algorithms to arrive at an optimal solution for a linear programming problem with absolute value. Moreover, we compare this method with an existing method. Numerical experiments are also given to illustrate the assertions.

Keywords: fractional programming; computing science; absolute value; simplex method.
