Abstract: In this paper, a new method is proposed to find the fuzzy optimal solution of fully fuzzy linear programming (FFLP) problems with mixed constraints. By using the proposed method the fuzzy optimal solution of FFLP problems with mixed constraints occurring in real life situations can be easily obtained. To illustrate the proposed method a numerical example is solved. The proposed method can be easily applied to find the fuzzy optimal solution of FFLP problems occurring in real life situations.
