Energy Source Allocation Decision-Making in Textile Industry: A Novel Symmetric and Asymmetric Spherical Fuzzy Linear Optimization Approach

Abstract

In this study, the authors extended the concept of spherical fuzzy optimization models by considering different parameters of spherical fuzzy linear programming problem as symmetric and asymmetric spherical numbers. Eight spherical fuzzy linear programming models are discussed by converting decision variables, parameters, and coefficients of objective function and constraints into symmetric and asymmetric spherical fuzzy numbers. To verify the validity and efficiency of this study in contrast with a linear programming numerical and a physical energy optimization model for the textile industry is considered. The application of these symmetric and asymmetric spherical fuzzy optimization models is discussed along with the postoptimal analysis of the best optimization models that provide the feasible and most optimal solution.
