Interactive Fuzzy Optimization

The purpose of this volume is to present recent developmentsin the use of fuzzy sets in broadly perceived interactiveoptimization and mathematical programming. After someintroductory sections some human related issues are covered.Then, basic issues related to fuzzy optimization are dealtwithwith an emphasis on elements of human interaction.Finally, software packages are described

The title of this book seems to indicate that the volume is dedicated to a very specialized and narrow area, i. e. , to the relationship between a very special type of optimization and mathematical programming. The contrary is however true. Optimization is certainly a very old and classical area

This monograph is the first to integrate ambiguous parameters in problem-formulation with fuzzy goals for multiobjective optimization into a unified methodology. Including ''real-world'' applications illustrated by interactive computer programs (written in C, version 6.0 for IBM PCs), the work is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and specialists in

The aim of this volume is to show how Fuzzy Sets and Systems can help to provide robust and adaptive heuristic optimization algorithms in a variety of situations. The book presents the state of the art and gives a broad overview on the real practical applications that Fuzzy Sets, based

The goal of the Encyclopedia of Optimization is to introduce the reader to a complete set of topics that show the spectrum of research, the richness of ideas, and the breadth of applications that has come from this field. The second edition builds on the success of the former edition
