the analysis of flow in water-distribution networks with several pumps by the content model may be turned into a non-convex optimization uncertain problem with multiple solutions. newton-based methods such as gga are not able to capture a global optimum in these situations. on the other hand, evolutionary methods designed to use the population of individuals may find a global solution even for ...

This paper studies the convex multiobjective optimization problem with vanishing constraints‎. ‎We introduce a new constraint qualification for these problems‎, ‎and then a necessary optimality condition for properly efficient solutions is presented‎. ‎Finally by imposing some assumptions‎, ‎we show that our necessary condition is also sufficient for proper efficiency‎. ‎Our results are formula...

Based on credibilistic value-at-risk (CVaR) of regularfuzzy variable, we introduce a new CVaR reduction method fortype-2 fuzzy variables. The reduced fuzzy variables arecharacterized by parametric possibility distributions. We establishsome useful analytical expressions for mean values and secondorder moments of common reduced fuzzy variables. The convex properties of second order moments with ...

in this paper, an optimization problem with a linear objective function subject to a consistent finite system of fuzzy relation inequalities using the max-product composition is studied. since its feasible domain is non-convex, traditional linear programming methods cannot be applied to solve it. we study this problem and capture some special characteristics of its feasible domain and optimal s...

one of the significant strategies of the power systems is economic dispatch (ed) problem, which is defined as the optimal generation of power units to produce energy at the lowest cost by fulfilling the demand within several limits. the undeniable impacts of ramp rate limits, valve loading, prohibited operating zone, spinning reserve and multi-fuel option on the economic dispatch of practical p...
