Evolutionary algorithms and fuzzy sets for discovering temporal rules

Stephen G. Matthews, Mario A. Gongora, Adrian A. Hopgood (2013)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

A novel method is presented for mining fuzzy association rules that have a temporal pattern. Our proposed method contributes towards discovering temporal patterns that could otherwise be lost from defining the membership functions before the mining process. The novelty of this research lies in exploring the composition of fuzzy and temporal association rules, and using a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm combined with iterative rule learning to mine many rules. Temporal patterns are augmented...

Fuzzy Linear Fractional Set Covering Problem with Imprecise Costs

Rashmi Gupta, Ratnesh Rajan Saxena (2014)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Set covering problems are in great use these days, these problems are applied in many disciplines such as crew scheduling problems, location problems, testing of VLSI circuits, artificial intelligence etc. In this paper α-acceptable optimal solution is given for the fuzzy linear fractional set covering problem where fuzziness involved in the objective function. At first the fuzzy linear fractional problem is being converted in to crisp parametric linear fractional set covering problem then a linearization...

Fuzzy linear programming via simulated annealing

Rita Almeida Ribeiro, Fernando Moura Pires (1999)

Kybernetika

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.

Fuzzy Mathematical Programming approach for Solving Fuzzy Linear Fractional Programming Problem

Chinnadurai Veeramani, Muthukumar Sumathi (2014)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

In this paper, a solution procedure is proposed to solve fuzzy linear fractional programming (FLFP) problem where cost of the objective function, the resources and the technological coefficients are triangular fuzzy numbers. Here, the FLFP problem is transformed into an equivalent deterministic multi-objective linear fractional programming (MOLFP) problem. By using Fuzzy Mathematical programming approach transformed MOLFP problem is reduced single objective linear programming (LP) problem. The proposed...

Linear optimization with bipolar max-parametric hamacher fuzzy relation equation constraints

Samaneh Aliannezhadi, Ali Abbasi Molai, Behnaz Hedayatfar (2016)

Kybernetika

In this paper, the linear programming problem subject to the Bipolar Fuzzy Relation Equation (BFRE) constraints with the max-parametric hamacher composition operators is studied. The structure of its feasible domain is investigated and its feasible solution set determined. Some necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for its solution existence. Then the problem is converted to an equivalent programming problem. Some rules are proposed to reduce the dimensions of problem. Under these rules,...
