in this paper, a location allocation (la) problem in construction and demolition (c&d;) waste management (wm) is studied. a bi-level model for this problem under a fuzzy random environment is presented where the upper level is the governments who sets up the processing centers, and the lower level are the administrators of different construction projects who control c&d; waste and the after tre...

this paper presents an efficient global meta-model building technique for solving high fidelity multidisciplinary design optimization (mdo) problems. the main difficulties associated with mdo are often characterized by interdisciplinary couplings, high computational cost of an analysis in individual disciplines and a large number of design variables and constraints. these issues result in very ...

‎This paper proposes a new form of optimization problem which is a two-level programming problem with infinitely many lower level constraints‎. ‎Firstly‎, ‎we consider some lower level constraint qualifications (CQs) for this problem‎. ‎Then‎, ‎under these CQs‎, ‎we derive formula for estimating the subdifferential of its valued function‎. ‎Finally‎, ‎we present some necessary optimality condit...

This article proposes a novel fuzzy technology to support the investment decisions. While choosing among competitive investment projects, this technology provides the selection of projects with minimal crediting risks, makes ranking of chosen projects and then allows to optimally allocate investment amounts between several of them. The technology combines two fuzzy-statistical methods and solut...

Drug has a great and crucial role inboth the health systems and the quality of life, and thereforeits shortage can cause death.In order to the important role of drugs,pharmaceutical supply chain(PSC) shouldensure that drugs are delivered to people in the right time with the best quality.On the other hand, thesupply chain (SC) members depend on each other for resources and information, and it ha...
