Abstract

In this paper the linear fractional programming problem is converted to a linear programming problem and for solving it, LU Factorization method is introduced. Finally, to illustrate the proposed method, it is verified by means of the numerical example and the results conclude that this method gives more reliable solution or the equal solution compared to the existing method.
