Comments on "Fuzzy programming with nonlinear membership functions..."

Abstract

Yang ct al., in their paper "Fuzzy programming with nonlinear membership functions...", published in Fuzzy Sets and Systems 41 (1991), declared that their model can solve a fuzzy program with an S-shaped membership function by adding only one 0-1 variable. This paper indicates that their declaration is correct only for a specific type of S-shape membership functions. We propose another model to treat the fuzzy programs which cannot be solved effectively by Yang et al. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
