When a flexible fuzzy rule structure such as those with antecedent in conjunctive normal form is used, the interpretability of the obtained fuzzy model is significantly improved. However, some important problems appear related to the interaction among this set of rules. Indeed, it is relatively easy to get inconsistencies, lack of completeness, redundancies, etc. Generally, these properties are...

A two person zero sum matrix game with fuzzy goals and fuzzy payoffs is considered and its solution is conceptualized using a suitable defuzzification function. Also, it is proved that such a game is equivalent to a primal-dual pair of certain fuzzy linear programming problems in which both goals as well as parameters are fuzzy.

This paper proposes a new multiobjective location problem for emergency facilities, e.g. ambulance service stations and fire stations. In the problem, one of the objectives is to minimize the maximal distance of the paths from the located emergency facilities to hospitals via accidents. The other is to maximize the frequency of accidents that the emergency facilities can respond quickly. An int...

In this paper, we propose an interactive decision making method for random fuzzy multiobjective linear programming problems (RFMOLP) through a probability maximization model. In the proposed method, it is assumed that the decision maker has fuzzy goals for not only permissible objective levels of a probability maximization model but also the corresponding distribution function values. Using the...

We focus on multiobjective nonlinear integer programming problems with block-angular structures which are often seen as a mathematical model of large-scale discrete systems optimization. By considering the vague nature of the decision maker’s judgments, fuzzy goals of the decision maker are introduced, and the problem is interpreted as maximizing an overall degree of satisfaction with the multi...

A fuzzy directed graph is used to represent the dynamic relationships among the sub-objectives of a fuzzy multiobjective optimization problem. Using the comprehensive coordination function with exponential weights, we transform a fuzzy multi-objective optimization problem into a single-objective optimization problem. The optimal solution of the single-objective optimization problem can then be ...

This paper proposes a fuzzy goal programming based on Taylor series for solving decentralized bilevel multiobjective fractional programming (DBLMOFP) problem. In the proposed approach, all of the membership functions are associated with the fuzzy goals of each objective at the both levels and also the fractional membership functions are converted to linear functions using the Taylor series appr...

This paper presents an efficient and simple approach for solving the Multiobjective reactive power optimization problem. Fuzzy Logic has been applied in combination with Evolutionary Programming (EP). In order to have a better convergence in EP the mutation process is incorporated with Fuzzy Logic which leads to an improved technique called as Fuzzy Mutated Evolutionary Programming (FMEP). The ...

coalitional game deals with situations that involve cooperations among players, and there are different solution concepts such as the core,the shapley value and the kernel. in many situations, there is no way to predict the payoff functions except for the expert experiencesand subjective intuitions, which leads to the coalitional game with fuzzy payoffs. within the framework of credibility theo...

The paper presents a weather routing solution for sail-assisted ships. Since the route finding optimisation process is a multiobjective one, the emphasis is put on possible application of multiobjective optimisation methods. The paper focuses on two such methods, namely evolutionary algorithms and ranking methods represented by Fuzzy TOPSIS. In addition, a proposed set of optimization criteria ...
