The Markov Decision Process in Fuzzy Events
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we considered decision processes in which one decision is made in each process. We incorporate the utility function concept into the decision process, derived the utility function in fuzzy events and by the max-product operation obtained the utility possibility measure of the fuzzy events. In cases with numerous decision processes, the optimum action can be determined from the relative size of the possibility measures, while in cases with observation information in each process, a single compromise possibility measure can be obtained by identifying the observation information in terms of type-2 fuzzy events that envelop the upper and lower sides and then incorporating the two fuzzy goals into a two-objective non-linear programming problem that minimizes the possibility measure on the upper side and maximizes the possibility measure on the lower side. Among the resulting compromise solutions, we proposed taking the one with the largest possibility measure as the optimum action.

Decision Method in Type-2 Fuzzy Events under Fuzzy Observed Information
Hori (né Uemura) et al. formulated the fuzzy-Bayes decision rule extension of the Wald decision function to fuzzy ORand AND-connectives with multiple subjective distributions. This decision rule maps and transforms a state of nature to fuzzy events. In this context, the map of subjective distributions is called the subjective possibility distribution and the map of utility functions is called t...

In healthcare systems, one of the important actions is related to perishable products such as red blood cells (RBCs) units that its consumption management in different periods can contribute greatly to the optimality of the system. In this paper, main goal is to enhance the ability of medical community to organize the RBCs units’ consumption in way to deliver the unit order timely with a focus ...
متن کاملA fuzzy approach to Markov decision processes with uncertain transition probabilities
In this paper, a Markov decision model with uncertain transition matrices, which allow a matrix to fluctuate at each step in time, is described by the use of fuzzy sets. We find a pareto optimal policy maximizing the infinite horizon fuzzy expected discounted reward over all stationary policies under some partial order. The pareto optimal policies are characterized by maximal solutions of an op...
متن کاملPerceptive Evaluation for the Optimal Discounted Reward in Markov Decision Processes
We formulate a fuzzy perceptive model for Markov decision processes with discounted payoff in which the perception for transition probabilities is described by fuzzy sets. Our aim is to evaluate the optimal expected reward, which is called a fuzzy perceptive value, based on the perceptive analysis. It is characterized and calculated by a certain fuzzy relation. A machine maintenance problem is ...
متن کاملA new machine replacement policy based on number of defective items and Markov chains
A novel optimal single machine replacement policy using a single as well as a two-stage decision making process is proposed based on the quality of items produced. In a stage of this policy, if the number of defective items in a sample of produced items is more than an upper threshold, the machine is replaced. However, the machine is not replaced if the number of defective items is less than ...
