Abstract

Fuzzy sets theory has been applied to many disciplines such as control theory and management sciences, mathematical modeling, industrial applications and etc. We usually face some difficulties when a such real-world problems are formulated into a mathematical programming problem. One of the difficulties is caused by the uncertainty in knowledge, information and/or decision makers preferences.
