Portfolio selection is an important issue for researchers and practitioners. Compared with the conventional probabilistic mean-variance method, fuzzy number can better describe an uncertain environment with vagueness and ambiguity. In this paper, the portfolio selection model with transaction costs and lending is proposed by means of possibilistic mean and possibilistic variance under the assum...

in this paper, the portfolio selection problem is considered, where fuzziness and randomness appear simultaneously in optimization process. since return and dividend play an important role in such problems, a new model is developed in a mixed environment by incorporating fuzzy random variable as multi-objective nonlinear model. then a novel interactive approach is proposed to determine the pref...

BACKGROUND Functional abdominal pain (FAP) is not only a highly prevalent disease but also poses a considerable burden on children and their families. Untreated, FAP is highly persistent until adulthood, also leading to an increased risk of psychiatric disorders. Intervention studies underscore the efficacy of cognitive behavioral treatment approaches but are limited in terms of sample size, lo...

The optimization of investment portfolios is the most important topic in financial decision making, and many relevant models can be found in the literature.  According to importance of portfolio optimization in this paper, deals with novel solution approaches to solve new developed portfolio optimization model. Contrary to previous work, the uncertainty of future retur...

This paper proposes a new practical model for project portfolio selection focusing on two issues; the first issue relates to managing uncertainty provoked by hesitant situations and the second issue relates to the interaction effect of projects on final value of portfolio. Based on the above issues, the hesitant fuzzy weighted averaging (HFWA) operator is applied to aggregate the hesitant fuzzy...

This paper employs fuzzy set theory to solve the unintuitive problem of the Markowitz meanvariance MV portfolio model and extend it to a fuzzy investment portfolio selection model. Our model establishes intervals for expected returns and risk preference, which can take into account investors’ different investment appetite and thus can find the optimal resolution for each interval. In the empiri...

s: In this paper, we define the portfolio return as fuzzy average yield and risk as hybrid-entropy and variance to deal with the portfolio selection problem with both random uncertainty and fuzzy uncertainty, and propose a mean-variance hybrid-entropy model (MVHEM). A multi-objective genetic algorithm named Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) is introduced to solve the model. W...

Abstract Recently, many researchers pay their attention to portfolio problems under minimax rules. Based on the uncertainty of the expected return of securities, therefore, it is of significant and interesting to study portfolio models based on fuzzy interval numbers under minimax rules(in briefly, PMFM). This PMFM-model can be regarded as a natural generalization of ordinarily portfolio model ...

Financial problems have been the subject of much research. A widely used approach in recent work on these problems is the use of fuzzy set theory, where fuzzy terms are used to model the uncertain environments. The purpose of this work is to combine the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) with the portfolio selection problem. More specifically, the decision-making problem is to decide which ...
