A new multiobjective dynamic fuzzy genetic algorithm is applied to solve a fuzzy mixed-model assembly line sequencing problem in which the primary goals are to minimize the total make-span and minimize the setup number simultaneously. Trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are implemented for variables such as operation and travelling time in order to generate results with higher accuracy and representative...

In this paper, a stochastic multiobjective framework is proposed for a day-ahead short-term Hydro Thermal Self-Scheduling (HTSS) problem for joint energy and reserve markets. An efficient linear formulations are introduced in this paper to deal with the nonlinearity of original problem due to the dynamic ramp rate limits, prohibited operating zones, operating services of thermal plants, multi-h...

Optimization is becoming a crucial element in industrial applications involving sustainable alternative energy systems. During the design of such systems, the engineer/decision maker would often encounter noise factors (e.g. solar insolation and ambient temperature fluctuations) when their system interacts with the environment. In this chapter, the sizing and design optimization of the solar po...

A previously developed fuzzy waste load allocation model (FWLAM) for a river system is extended to address uncertainty involved in fixing the membership functions for the fuzzy goals of the pollution control agency (PCA) and the dischargers using the concept of grey systems. The model provides flexibility for the PCA and the dischargers to specify their goals independently, as the parameters fo...

The paper presents FMOPSO a multiobjective optimization method that uses a Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm enhanced with a Fuzzy Logic-based controller. Our implementation makes use of a number of fuzzy rules as well as dynamic membership functions to evaluate search spaces at each iteration. The method works based on Pareto dominance and was tested using standard benchmark data sets. Our...

generally, an engineering design problem has multiple objective functions. some of these problems can be formulated as multiobjective geometric programming models. on the other hand,often in the real world, coefficients of the objective functions are not known precisely. coefficients may be interpreted as fuzzy numbers, which lead to a multiobjective geometric programming with fuzzy parameters....

Fuzzy systems are capable to model the inherent uncertainties in real world problems and implement human decision making. In this paper two issues related to fuzzy systems development are addressed and solutions are proposed and implemented. First issue is related to the high dimensional data sets. Such kinds of data sets lead to explode the search space of generated rules and results into dete...

Paknejad et al.’s model is considered in this paper. Itemwise multiobjective models for both exponential and uniform lead-time demand are taken and the results are compared numerically both in fuzzy optimization and intuitionistic fuzzy optimization techniques. Objective of this paper is to establish that intuitionistic fuzzy optimizaion method is better than usual fuzzy optimization technique ...

This paper proposes a control system design method by the multiobjective fuzzy satisficing approach using Genetic Algorithm (GA). First, a control system design is formulated as a constrained multiobjective optimization problem, and it is transformed into a fuzzy satisficing problem by introducing the aspiration level and the unsatisfying function. It is solved by a GA interactively. Then, the ...
