Reliability optimization problems with multiple constraints under fuzziness
Authors
Abstract:
In reliability optimization problems diverse situation occurs due to which it is not always possible to get relevant precision in system reliability. The imprecision in data can often be represented by triangular fuzzy numbers. In this manuscript, we have considered different fuzzy environment for reliability optimization problem of redundancy. We formulate a redundancy allocation problem for a hypothetical series-parallel system in which the parameters of the system are fuzzy. Two different cases are then formulated as non-linear programming problem and the fuzzy nature is defuzzified into crisp problems using three different defuzzification methods viz. ranking function, graded mean integration value and α-cut. The result of the methods is compared at the end of the manuscript using a numerical example.

Global optimization of fractional posynomial geometric programming problems under fuzziness
In this paper we consider a global optimization approach for solving fuzzy fractional posynomial geometric programming problems. The problem of concern involves positive trapezoidal fuzzy numbers in the objective function. For obtaining an optimal solution, Dinkelbach’s algorithm which achieves the optimal solution of the optimization problem by means of solving a sequence of subproblems ...
full textOptimization of single outsourcer–single subcontractor outsourcing relationship under reliability and maintenance constraints
In this paper, we focus on outsourcing activities optimization problem in single period setting. In some situations, capacity planning or outsourcing is a one-time event and can be modeled as a single period problem. The aim of this research is to balance the trade-off between two echelons of a supply chain consisting of a single outsourcer and a single subcontractor. Each part is composed of a...
full textReliability evaluation of a repairable system under fuzziness
Research in traditional reliability theory is based mainly on probist reliability, which uses a binary state assumption and classical reliability distributions. In the present paper the binary state assumption has been replaced by a fuzzy state assumption, thereby leading to profust reliability estimates of a repairable system, which is modeled as a four unit gracefully degradable system using ...
full textOptimization Problems Under One-sided (max,min)-Linear Equality Constraints
In this article we will consider optimization problems, the objective function of which is equal to the maximum of a finite number of continuous functions of one variable. The set of feasible solutions is described by the system of (max,min)-linear equality constraints with variables on one side. Complexity of the proposed method with monotone or unimodal functions will be studied, possible gen...

We present a perturbation theory for nite dimensional optimization problems subject to abstract constraints satisfying a second order regularity condition. We derive Lipschitz and HH older expansions of approximate optimal solutions, under a directional constraint qualiication hypothesis and various second order suucient conditions that take into account the curvature of the set deening the con...
full textA dual approach to multiple exercise option problems under constraints
This paper considers the pricing of multiple exercise options in discrete time. This type of option can be exercised up to a fixed finite number of times over the lifetime of the contract. We allow multiple exercise of the option at each time point up to a constraint, a feature relevant for pricing swing options in energy markets. It is shown that, in the case where an option can be exercised a...
