Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to briefly summarize main elements, issues and developments in fuzzy optimization. A brief account of the very essence of the fuzzy transportation problem, and its extended fuzzy transshipment problem, is then presented. We basically concentrate on some more traditional and classic approaches which best serve our very purpose to provide a point of departure for our discussion in this book.
