Abstract :
In this paper, a tabu search (TS) method is proposed to find a global solution for fuzzy linear programming (FLP). Two additional factors, distribution factor (DF) and similarity factor (SF), are also introduced for TS to enhance the searching performance. The application of DF and SF makes the TS to surf in a larger search space and reduces the possibility of re-searching the visited areas. A simulation is done to show the efficiency of the proposed study.
