In practice we are often faced with random experiments whose outcomes are not numbers (or vectors in &I”) but are expressed in inexact linguistic terms. As an example, consider a group of individuals chosen at random who are questioned about the weather on a particular city on a particular winter day. Some possible answers would be “cold,” “more or less cold,” “very cold,” “ extremely cold,” an...

How to model traveler’s perception of travel time is always an important issue in the development of traffic assignment models. Since travelers rarely have perfect knowledge of the road network or of the traveling conditions, they choose routes based on their perceived travel times. Traditionally, travelers’ perceived travel times are treated as random variables, leading to the stochastic traff...

This paper proposes a new method for solving a multi-objective linear programming model with fuzzy random variables. In this model, a multi-objective linear programming problem with real variables and fuzzy random coefficients is introduced. Then, a new algorithm is developed to solve the model based on the concepts of mean value of fuzzy random variables, chance-constrained programming and pie...

The maximum weighted matching problem is to find a maximum matching in a given graph such that the sum of weights of edges in it is maximum. In this paper, the concept of maximum random fuzzy weighted matching is proposed firstly, and then the maximum random fuzzy weighted matching problem is formulated as expected value model, chance-constrained programming and dependent-chance programming acc...

Four self-organizing neural networks are compared for automatic deinterleaving of radar pulse streams in electronic warfare systems. The neural networks are the Fuzzy Adaptive Resonance Theory, Fuzzy Min-Max Clustering, Integrated Adaptive Fuzzy Clustering, and Self-Organizing Feature Mapping. Given the need for a clustering procedure that ooers both accurate results and computational eeciency,...

This study first reviews fuzzy random Portfolio selection theory and describes the concept of portfolio optimization model as a useful instrument for helping finance practitioners and researchers. Second, this paper specifically aims at applying possibility-based models for transforming the fuzzy random variables to the linear programming. The harmony search algorithm approaches to resolve the ...
