In this paper, we deal with fuzzy random variables for inputs andoutputs in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). These variables are considered as fuzzyrandom flat LR numbers with known distribution. The problem is to find a method forconverting the imprecise chance-constrained DEA model into a crisp one. This can bedone by first, defuzzification of imprecise probability by constructing a suitablem...

This paper develops a solution method for Chance Constrained Programming problem, where the random variable in the right hand side of the chance constraints follows different fuzzy distributions. The methodology is verified through numerical examples.

This paper aims at proposing tractable algorithms to find effectively good solutions to large size chance-constrained combinatorial problems. A new robust model is introduced to deal with uncertainty in mixed-integer linear problems. It is shown to be strongly related to chance-constrained programming when considering pure 0– 1 problems. Furthermore, its tractability is highlighted. Then, an op...

The mine production planning defines a sequence of block extraction to obtain the highest NPV under a number of constraints. Mathematical programming has become a widespread approach to optimize production planning, for open pit mines since the 1960s. However, the previous and existing models are found to be limited in their ability to explicitly incorporate the ore grade uncertainty into the p...

The term probabilistic constrained programming means the same as chance constrained programming, i.e., optimization of a function subject to certain conditions where at least one is formulated so that a condition, involving random variables, should hold with a prescribed probability. The probability is usually not prescribed exactly but a lower bound is given instead which is in practice near u...

Hubs are facilities to collect arrange and distribute commodities in telecommunication networks, cargo delivery systems, etc. In this paper, an uncapacitated phub center problem in case of single allocation and also multiple allocation will be introduced in which travel times or transportation costs are considered as fuzzy parameters. Then, by proposing new methods, the presented problem is con...
