Measuring and controlling emissions across the logistics network is an important challenge for today’s firms according to increasing concern about the environmental impact of business activities. This paper proposes a bi-objective credibility-based fuzzy mathematical programming model for designing the strategic configuration of a green logistics network under uncertain conditions. The model ai...

Software birthmark is a unique quality of software to detect software theft. Comparing birthmarks of software can tell us whether a program or software is a copy of another. Software theft and piracy are rapidly increasing problems of copying, stealing, and misusing the software without proper permission, as mentioned in the desired license agreement. The estimation of birthmark can play a key ...

In this paper we introduce split truth/falseness semantics for a multi-valued logical processing of fuzzy preference modelling. Our approach takes as starting point the standard framework of fuzzy outranking relations as proposed by the French multi-criteria decision aid community. Formal links between a given relational credibility calculus and associated truth polarization techniques will be ...

Since the development of large scale power grid interconnections and power markets, research on available transfer capability (ATC) has attracted great attention. The challenges for accurate assessment of ATC originate from the numerous uncertainties in electricity generation, transmission, distribution and utilization sectors. Power system uncertainties can be mainly described as two types: ra...

On the basis of the possibility measure, necessity measure, credibility measure and probability measure, chance-constrained programming models are designed to treat optimization problems with stochastic and fuzzy parameters. Then, mathematical properties of different models, for instance, crisp equivalents of uncertain functions and constraints, are discussed on condition that parameters are un...

A fuzzy model for failure rate with the consideration of the effects of uncertain factors in distribution reliability evaluation is presented. The possibility and credibility distribution analyzed on the basis of sample datum are used for quantifying effects of the uncertainty done to failure rate. Mathematically, the failure rate can be obtained in the interval integration. Moreover, aiming to...

To solve a mathematical model for American put option with uncertainty, we utilize two essentials, i.e., a λ−weighting function and a mean value of fuzzy random variables simultaneously. Estimation of randomness and fuzziness as uncertainty should be important when we deal with a reasonable and natural model extended from the original optimization/decision making. Three kinds of mean values by ...

Considering the increasing interest in fuzzy theory and possible applications,the concept of fuzzy metric space concept has been introduced by severalauthors from different perspectives. This paper interprets the theory in termsof metrics evaluated on fuzzy numbers and defines a strong Hausdorff topology.We study interrelationships between this theory and other fuzzy theories suchas intuitionis...

Industrial process planning is to make an optimal decision in terms of resource allocation. The planning objective can be to minimize the time required to complete a task, maximize customer satisfaction by completing orders in a timely fashion and minimize the cost required to complete a task. Based on time and energy consumption in an industrial process planning problem, a novel energy analysi...

In this paper, based on the concepts of credibility measure and expectation theory, we derive the expectation formulae for the three reductions of a type-2 trapezoidal fuzzy variable (T2TrFV), which are attained by adopting the critical value (CV) reduction methods. We minimize the total transportation cost and the total transportation time over a single layered distribution system consisting o...
