Abstract: In this paper, a robust linear programming is considered, where all of its coefficients in the objective function and constraints are rough intervals or IT2 rough interval coefficients. First, we allow the IT2 rough intervals to transform into rough intervals using [α1, α2] level. Then, a robust two-step solution method (RTSM) is developed to solve the robust linear programming problem with IT2 rough interval coefficients (LPIT2RIC). Finally, an example is presented to demonstrate the results.
Keywords: Linear programming, uncertainty, T2 fuzzy set theory, rough set theory, IT2 rough coefficients
