Abstract: In this paper, a fuzzy-based interactive method for bi-level and multi-level, linear and non-linear, programming problems is proposed. In this approach product operator is used for aggregation of different fuzzy goals and MI-LXPM, a genetic algorithm, is used as optimisation technique. Performance of the proposed method is tested on a set of five examples taken from literature.

Keywords: bi-level programming problems; multi-level programming problems; fuzzy interactive method; fuzzy logic; genetic algorithms; optimisation.
