an alternative method for solving linear fractional programming problems

Linear fractional programming problem (LFPP) is a problem in which the objective function is a linear fractional function, while the constraint functions are in the form of linear inequalities. LFPP are useful tools in production planning, financial and corporate planning, health care and hospital planning. In this paper, an alternative method for solving LFPP is introduced. This can be illustrated with the help of some numerical examples. It is powerful method to reduce number of iterations and save valuable time.
