Since 1985 various evolutionary approaches to multiobjec-tive optimization have been developed, capable of searching for multiple solutions concurrently in a single run. But the few comparative studies of diierent methods available to date are mostly qualitative and restricted to two approaches. In this paper an extensive, quantitative comparison is presented, applying four multiobjective evolu...

The Multi-Handler Knapsack Problem under Uncertainty (MHKPu) is a new stochastic knapsack problem where, given a set of items, characterized by volume and random profit, and a set of potential handlers, we want to find a subset of items which maximizes the expected total profit. The item profit is given by the sum of a deterministic profit plus a stochastic profit due to the random handling cos...

Due to the contradiction between high precision control with complexity of fuzzy controller design, an method for multi-variable fuzzy controller design is presented. A dynamic compensation model for the fuzzy controller is introduced, which simplify the analysis and design of multi-variable fuzzy controller, and improve control performance. The method is applied to high precision water tank te...

Rollout algorithms have enjoyed success across a variety of domains as heuristic solution procedures for stochastic dynamic programs (SDPs). However, because most rollout implementations are closely tied to specific problems, the visibility of advances in rollout methods is limited, thereby making it difficult for researchers in other fields to extract general procedures and apply them to diffe...

Recently, bipolar fuzzy sets have been studied and applied a bit enthusiastically and a bit increasingly. In this paper we prove that bipolar fuzzy sets and [0,1](2)-sets (which have been deeply studied) are actually cryptomorphic mathematical notions. Since researches or modelings on real world problems often involve multi-agent, multi-attribute, multi-object, multi-index, multi-polar informat...

the present research aims to apply several approaches for suitability evaluation of lands under cultivation ofalfalfa and barley in chaharmil mechanized farming center, ardestan town, isfahan province, iran. climatic andsoil maps of the climate and soil data were provided in raster format. land evaluation carried out using maximumlimitation, parametric and multi-criteria (analytical hierarchy p...

Despite half a century of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic progress, as fuzzy sets address complex and uncertain information through the lens of human knowledge and subjectivity, more progress is needed in the semantics of fuzzy sets and in exploring the multi-modal aspect of fuzzy logic due to the different cognitive, emotional and behavioral angles of assessing truth. We lay here the foundations of...
