Fuzzy linear programming via simulated annealing

Rita Almeida Ribeiro, Fernando Moura Pires (1999)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

This paper shows how the simulated annealing (SA) algorithm provides a simple tool for solving fuzzy optimization problems. Often, the issue is not so much how to fuzzify or remove the conceptual imprecision, but which tools enable simple solutions for these intrinsically uncertain problems. A well-known linear programming example is used to discuss the suitability of the SA algorithm for solving fuzzy optimization problems.

An approach to fuzzy temporal reasoning in medicine.

R. Marín, S. Barro, F. Palacios, R. Ruiz, F. Martín (1994)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

In this work we propose an approach for the application of a fuzzy temporal constraint model to intelligent patient monitoring tasks. After analyzing the requirements of the domain, we describe the approach that was followed in order to represent temporal information and solve queries on temporal relations. These processes require the cooperation of a temporal specialist with the domain reasoning mechanisms. The integration solution presented here corresponds to a stage of the implementation...

Solving a possibilistic linear program through compromise programming.

Mariano Jiménez López, María Victoria Rodríguez Uría, María del Mar Arenas Parra, Amelia Bilbao Terol (2000)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

In this paper we propose a method to solve a linear programming problem involving fuzzy parameters whose possibility distributions are given by fuzzy numbers. To address the above problem we have used a preference relationship of fuzzy numbers that leads us to a solving method that produces the so-called α-degree feasible solutions. It must be pointed out that the final solution of the problem depends critically on this degree of feasibility, which is in conflict with the optimal value...
