The fundamental concept of the fuzzy logic has been weakened by requiring a mere membership relation; consequently an ordered fuzzy number (OFN) arises as an ordered pair of continuous real functions defined on the interval [0, 1]. Four algebraic operations are constructed in a way that renders them an algebra. Further, a norm is introduced which makes them a Banach space. A class of linear def...

We consider TSP with time windows and service time. In this problem we receive a sequence of requests for a service at nodes in a metric space and a time window for each request. The goal of the online algorithm is to maximize the number of requests served during their time window. The time to traverse an edge is the distance between the incident nodes of that edge. Serving a request requires u...

The competitive vehicle routing problem is one of the important issues in transportation area. In this paper a new method for competitive VRP with time windows and stochastic demand is introduced. In the presented method a three time bounds are given and the probability of arrival time between each time bound is assumed to be uniform. The demands of each customer are different in each time wind...
