Solving a non-convex non-linear optimization problem constrained by fuzzy relational equations and Sugeno-Weber family of t-norms

Sugeno-Weber family of t-norms and t-conorms is one of the most applied one in various fuzzy modelling problems. This family of t-norms and t-conorms was suggested by Weber for modeling intersection and union of fuzzy sets. Also, the t-conorms were suggested as addition rules by Sugeno for so-called  $lambda$–fuzzy measures. In this paper, we study a nonlinear optimization problem where the fea...

Linear Objective Function Optimization with the Max-product Fuzzy Relation Inequality Constraints

In this paper, an optimization problem with a linear objective function subject to a consistent finite system of fuzzy relation inequalities using the max-product composition is studied. Since its feasible domain is non-convex, traditional linear programming methods cannot be applied to solve it. We study this problem and capture some special characteristics of its feasible domain and optimal s...

A full ranking method using integrated DEA models and its application to modify GA for finding Pareto optimal solution of MOP problem

This paper uses integrated Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models to rank all extreme and non-extreme efficient Decision Making Units (DMUs) and then applies integrated DEA ranking method as a criterion to modify Genetic Algorithm (GA) for finding Pareto optimal solutions of a Multi Objective Programming (MOP) problem. The researchers have used ranking method as a shortcut way to modify GA to d...

Developing EPQ models for non-instantaneous deteriorating items

In this paper, the classical economic production quantity (EPQ) model is developed for non-instantaneous deteriorating items by considering a relationship between the holding cost and the ordering cycle length. Two models are developed. First, the proposed model is considered when backorders are not permitted and this condition is waived for the second case. The cost functions associated with t...
