In the last 25 years, fuzzy set theory has been applied in many disciplines such as operations research, management science, control theory and artificial intelligence/expert systems. In this volume, methods and applications of fuzzy mathematical programming are first systematically and thoroughly reviewed and classified. The survey provides readers with a capsule look into the existing methods, and their characteristics and applicability to the analysis of fuzzy and possibilistic programming problems. To realize practical fuzzy modelling, solutions for real-world problems are presented, including production/manufacturing, transportation, assignment, games, environmental management, resource allocation, project investment, banking/finance, and agricultural economics. To improve the flexibility and robustness of fuzzy mathematical programming techniques, the expert decision-making support system IFLP is presented, which considers and solves all possibilities of a specific domain of (fuzzy) linear programming problems. Basic fuzzy set theories, membership functions, fuzzy decisions, operators and fuzzy arithmetic are introduced with simple numerical examples.An updated bibliographical listing of 60 books and about 300 papers, reports and theses is given.

In the last 25 years, the fuzzy set theory has been applied in many disciplines such as operations research, management science, control theory, artificial intelligence/expert system, etc. In this volume, methods and applications of crisp, fuzzy and possibilistic multiple objective decision making are first systematically and thoroughly reviewed and classified. This state-of-the-art survey provides readers with a capsule look into the existing methods, and their characteristics and applicability to analysis of fuzzy and possibilistic programming problems. To realize practical fuzzy modelling, it presents solutions for real-world problems including production/manufacturing, location, logistics, environment management, banking/finance, personnel, marketing, accounting, agriculture economics and data analysis. This book is a guided tour through the literature in the rapidly growing fields of operations research and decision making and includes the most up-to-date bibliographical listing of literature on the topic.

This state-of-the-art survey provides readerswith a capsule look into the existing methods, and theircharacteristics and applicability to analysis of fuzzy andpossibilistic programming problems. To realize practicalfuzzy modelling, we present solutions for real-worldproblems including production/manufacturing, transportation,assignment, game, environmental management, resourceallocation,project investment, banking/finance, and agriculturaleconomics. To improve flexibility and robustness of fuzzymathematical programming techniques, we also present ourexpert decision-making support system IFLP which considersand solves all possibilities of a specific domain of (fuzzy)linear programming problems. Basic fuzzy set theories,membership functions, fuzzy decisions, operators and fuzzyarithmetic are introduced with simple numerical examples inaneasy-to-read and easy-to-follow manner. An updatedbibliographical listing of 60 books, monographs orconference proceedings, and about 300 selected papers,reports or theses is presented in the end of this study.
