Abstract: In this paper we show the applicability of the Dual Heuristic Programming (DHP) method of Approximate Dynamic Programming to parameter tuning of a fuzzy control system. DHP and related techniques have been developed in the neurocontrol context but can be equally productive when used with fuzzy controll...

convexity theory and duality theory are important issues in math- ematical programming. within the framework of credibility theory, this paper rst introduces the concept of convex fuzzy variables and some basic criteria. furthermore, a convexity theorem for fuzzy chance constrained programming is proved by adding some convexity conditions on the objective and constraint functions. finally,...

In this paper, two kinds of fuzzy approaches are proposed for not only multiobjective stochastic linear programming problems, but also multiobjective fuzzy random linear programming problems through a probability maximization model. In a probability maximization model, it is necessary for the decision maker to specify permissible values of objective functions in advance, which have a great infl...

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 ...

This paper proposes an intuitionistic fuzzy optimization approach to solve a multi-objective nonlinear programming problem in the context of a reliability application. We have considered a multi-objective reliability optimization problem with reliability and cost as objective functions. Intuitionistic fuzzy optimization approach is used to solve this multi-objective reliability optimization mod...

Using Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) to solve complicated decisions often includes uncertainty, which could be tackled by utilizing the fuzzy sets theory. Type-2 fuzzy sets consider more uncertainty than type-1 fuzzy sets. These fuzzy sets provide more degrees of freedom to illustrate the uncertainty and fuzziness in real-world production projects. In this paper, a new multi-criteria ana...

in this paper, a new method is proposed to find the fuzzy optimal solution of fully fuzzy linear bilevel programming (fflblp) problems by representing all the parameters as triangular fuzzy numbers. in the proposed method, the given fflblp problem is decomposed into three crisp linear programming (clp) problems with bounded variables constraints, the three clp problems are solved separately and...

The paper deals in a preliminary way with the problem of the selection of a unique fuzzy preference relation from the set of fuzzy preference relations. A direct algorithm of possibilistic clustering is the basis of the method of fuzzy preference relation discriminating. A method of decision-making based on a fuzzy preference relation is described and basic concepts of the heuristic method of p...

This paper finds solutions to the fuzzy linear program where some parameters are fuzzy numbers. In practice, there are many problems in which all decision parameters are fuzzy numbers, and such problems are usually solved by either probabilistic programming or multi objective programming methods. Unfortunately all these methods have shortcomings. In this paper, using the concept of comparison o...
