The fuzzy approach has undergone a profound structural transformation in the past few decades. Numerous studies have been undertaken to explain fuzzy approach for linear and nonlinear programs. While, the findings in earlier studies have been conflicting, recent studies of competitive situations indicate that fractional programming problem has a positive impact on comparative scenario. We pro...

Scheduling problem for repetitive construction projects involves three conflicting objectives. These objectives are project duration, project total cost, and project total interruption time. This paper presents a multi-objective fuzzy linear programming model (FLP) for resolving this problem. Literature concerned with scheduling problems for repetitive construction projects was reviewed. Multi-...

It is believed that multi attribute decision making problem is an ill-defined and unstructured problem. This difficulty intensifies while considering the uncertainty of decision makers’ information about the problem. In recent years, interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (hereafter IVIFs) as a generalization of ordinal fuzzy sets, became a well-known and widely applied framework for dealing...

Stock valuation is very important for fundamental investors to select undervalue stocks to earn excess profit. However, it may be difficult to use stock valuation results because different models generate different estimates on the same stock. This suggests that the value of a stock should be multi-valued rather than single-valued. We therefore develop a multi-valued stock valuation model based...

The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is one of the most intensively studied problems in computational mathematics. Information about real life systems is often available in the form of vague descriptions. Hence, fuzzy methods are designed to handle vague terms, and are most suited to finding optimal solutions to problems with vague parameters. This study develops a fuzzy multi-objective linear ...

In this study, a two-stage fuzzy robust integer programming (TFRIP) method has been developed for planning environmental management systems under uncertainty. This approach integrates techniques of robust programming and two-stage stochastic programming within a mixed integer linear programming framework. It can facilitate dynamic analysis of capacity-expansion planning for waste management fac...

Multi-adjoint logic programming represents a very recent, extremely flexible attempt for introducing fuzzy logic into logic programming. In this setting, the execution of a goal w.r.t. a given program is done in two separate phases. During the operational one, admissible steps are systematically applied in a similar way to classical resolution steps in pure logic programming, thus returning a c...

In some practical situations the decision maker is interested in setting multi aspiration levels for objectives that may not be expressed in a specific manner. So in this paper, Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy transportation problem with multi-item, multi-objective function assuming multiple choices is considered. We have modeled multi-objective multi-choice multi-item Atanassov’s intuitionist...

In this paper, the fuzzy multi-depot vehicle routing problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery (FMDVRP-SPD) is investigated. The FMDVRP-SPD is the problem of allocating customers to several depots, so that the optimal set of routes is determined simultaneously to serve the pickup and the delivery demands of each customer within scattered depots. In the problem, both pickup and delivery dema...
