Abstract
This paper extended the concept of the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) to develop a methodology for solving multi-level non-linear multi-objective decision-making (MLN-MODM) problems of maximization-type. Also, two new interactive algorithms are presented for the proposed TOPSIS approach for solving these types of mathematical programming problems. The first proposed interactive TOPSIS algorithm includes the membership functions of the decision variables for each level except the lower evel of the multi-level problem. These satisfactory decisions are evaluated separately by solving the corresponding single-level MODM problems. The second proposed interactiveTOPSIS algorithm lexicographically solves the MODM problems of the MLN-MOLP problem by taking into consideration the decisions of the MODM problems for the upper levels. To demonstrate the proposed algorithms, a numerical example is solved and compared the solutions of proposed algorithms with the solution of the interactive algorithm of Osman
