Download or read book Fuzzy Mathematical Programming and Fuzzy Matrix Games written by C. R. Bector and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-05-18 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Game theory has already proved its tremendous potential for con?ict resolution problems in the ?elds of Decision Theory and Economics. In the recent past, there have been attempts to extend the results of crisp game theory to those con?ict resolution problems which are fuzzy in nature e.g. Nishizaki and Sakawa [61] and references cited there in. These developments have lead to the emergence of a new area in the literature called fuzzy games. Another area in the fuzzy decision theory, which has been growing very fast is the area of fuzzy mathematical programming and its applications to various branches of sciences, Engineering and Management. In the crisp scenario, there exists a beautiful relationship between two person zero sum matrix game theory and duality in linear p- gramming. It is therefore natural to ask if something similar holds in the fuzzy scenario as well. This discussion essentially constitutes the core of our presentation. The objective of this book is to present a systematic and focussed study of the application of fuzzy sets to two very basic areas of decision theory, namely Mathematical Programming and Matrix Game Theory.
Download or read book Fuzzy Mathematical Programming written by Young-Jou Lai and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last 25 years, the fuzzy set theory has been applied in many disciplines such as operations research, management science, control theory,artificial intelligence/expert system, etc. In this volume, methods and applications of fuzzy mathematical programming and possibilistic mathematical programming are first systematically and thoroughly reviewed and classified. This state-of-the-art survey provides readers with a capsule look into the existing methods, and their characteristics and applicability to analysis of fuzzy and possibilistic programming problems. To realize practical fuzzy modelling, we present solutions for real-world problems including production/manufacturing, transportation, assignment, game, environmental management, resource allocation, project investment, banking/finance, and agricultural economics. To improve flexibility and robustness of fuzzy mathematical programming techniques, we also present our expert decision-making support system IFLP which considers and solves all possibilities of a specific domain of (fuzzy) linear programming problems. Basic fuzzy set theories, membership functions, fuzzy decisions, operators and fuzzy arithmetic are introduced with simple numerical examples in aneasy-to-read and easy-to-follow manner. An updated bibliographical listing of 60 books, monographs or conference proceedings, and about 300 selected papers, reports or theses is presented in the end of this study.

Download or read book Fuzzy Engineering Economics with Applications written by Cengiz Kahraman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-08-25 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fuzzy set approaches are suitable to use when the modeling of human knowledge is necessary and when human evaluations are needed. Fuzzy set theory is recognized as an important problem modeling and solution technique. It has been studied ext- sively over the past 40 years. Most of the early interest in fuzzy set theory pertained to representing uncertainty in human cognitive processes. Fuzzy set theory is now - plied to problems in engineering, business, medical and related health sciences, and the natural sciences. This book handles the fuzzy cases of classical engineering e- nomics topics. It contains 15 original research and application chapters including different topics of fuzzy engineering economics. When no probabilities are available for states of nature, decisions are given under uncertainty. Fuzzy sets are a good tool for the operation research analyst facing unc- tainty and subjectivity. The main purpose of the first chapter is to present the role and importance of fuzzy sets in the economic decision making problem with the literature review of the most recent advances.
Download or read book Neutrosophic SuperHyperAlgebra and New Types of Topologies written by Florentin Smarandache and published by Infinite Study. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In general, a system S (that may be a company, association, institution, society, country, etc.) is formed by sub-systems Si { or P(S), the powerset of S }, and each sub-system Si is formed by sub-sub-systems Sij { or P(P(S)) = P2(S) } and so on. That’s why the n-th PowerSet of a Set S { defined recursively and denoted by Pn(S) = P(Pn-1(S) } was introduced, to better describes the organization of people, beings, objects etc. in our real world. The n-th PowerSet was used in defining the SuperHyperOperation, SuperHyperAxiom, and their corresponding Neutrosophic SuperHyperOperation, Neutrosophic SuperHyperAxiom in order to build the SuperHyperAlgebra and Neutrosophic SuperHyperAlgebra. In general, in any field of knowledge, one in fact encounters SuperHyperStructures. Also, six new types of topologies have been introduced in the last years (2019-2022), such as: Refined Neutrosophic Topology, Refined Neutrosophic Crisp Topology, NeutroTopology, AntiTopology, SuperHyperTopology, and Neutrosophic SuperHyperTopology.
Download or read book Production Engineering and Management under Fuzziness written by Cengiz Kahraman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-05-19 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Production engineering and management involve a series of planning and control activities in a production system. A production system can be as small as a shop with only one machine or as big as a global operation including many manufacturing plants, distribution centers, and retail locations in multiple continents. The product of a production system can also vary in complexity based on the material used, technology employed, etc. Every product, whether a pencil or an airplane, is produced in a system which depends on good management to be successful. Production management has been at the center of industrial engineering and management science disciplines since the industrial revolution. The tools and techniques of production management have been so successful that they have been adopted to various service industries, as well. The book is intended to be a valuable resource to undergraduate and graduate students interested in the applications of production management under fuzziness. The chapters represent all areas of production management and are organized to reflect the natural order of production management tasks. In all chapters, special attention is given to applicability and wherever possible, numerical examples are presented. While the reader is expected to have a fairly good understanding of the fuzzy logic, the book provides the necessary notation and preliminary knowledge needed in each chapter.

Download or read book Air Quality Monitoring Assessment and Management written by Nicolas Mazzeo and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2011-07-08 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human beings need to breathe oxygen diluted in certain quantity of inert gas for living. In the atmosphere, there is a gas mixture of, mainly, oxygen and nitrogen, in appropriate proportions. However, the air also contains other gases, vapours and aerosols that humans incorporate when breathing and whose composition and concentration vary spatially. Some of these are physiologically inert. Air pollution has become a problem of major concern in the last few decades as it has caused negative effects on human health, nature and properties. This book presents the results of research studies carried out by international researchers in seventeen chapters which can be grouped into two main sections: a) air quality monitoring and b) air quality assessment and management, and serves as a source of material for all those involved in the field, whether as a student, scientific researcher, industrialist, consultant, or government agency with responsibility in this area.

Download or read book Uncertainty Theory written by Baoding Liu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a branch of mathematics that studies the behavior of random, fuzzy and rough events, uncertainty theory is the generic name of probability theory, credibility theory, and trust theory. The main purpose of this book is to provide axiomatic foundations of uncertainty theory. Itwasgenerallybelievedthatthestudyofprobabilitytheorywasstartedby Pascal and Fermat in 1654 when they succeeded in deriving the exact pro- bilities for certain gambling problem. Great progress was achieved when Von Mises initialized the concept of sample space, and ?lled the gape between probability theory and measure theory in 1931. A complete axiomatic fo- dation of probability theory was given by Kolmogoro? in 1933. Since then, probability theory has been developed steadily and has been widely applied in science and engineering. The axiomatic foundation of probability theory will be introduced in Chapter 2. Fuzzy set was initialized by Zadeh via membership function in 1965, and was well developed and applied in a wide variety of real problems. As a fuzzy set of real numbers, the term fuzzy variable was ?rst introduced by Kaufmann in 1975. In order to make a mathematical foundation, Nahmias gave three axioms to de?ne possibility measure in 1978, and Liu gave the fourth axiom to de?ne product possibility measure in 2002. There are three types of measure in the fuzzy world: possibility, necessity, and credibility.
