Abstract
In this paper, we present a new method for solving multi-objective nonlinear fractional programming problems, which pose significant challenges in the optimization field due to their inherent complexities. To enhance efficiency and accuracy in solving these types of problems, firstly, by using Dinkelbach’s algorithm, the problem is transformed into a nonlinear programming problem, that this transformation facilitates the problem-solving process. Subsequently, we utilize a signomial geometric programming approach to find the optimal solution. The results obtained demonstrate a significant improvement in findings ompared to traditional methods, in terms of accuracy and efficiency. Finally, in last paper, by

providing a numerical example, we examine the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed algorithm.
