Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to deal with a goal programming problem with interval coefficients. Based on two order relations between intervals, the noninferior solution to this problem is defined. The goal interval programming is converted into a linear programming problem with a objective function composed of the linear combinations of positive and negative deviation variables. Considering the uncertain returns of assets in capital markets, a goal interval programming model for portfolio selection problem is presented with given returns and risks. Then, an approach is proposed to solve the above model and at last a numerical example is provided.
