Linear Programming with Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Constraints

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 539))

Abstract

This chapter shows a method for solving Linear Programming (LP) problems that includes Interval Type-2 fuzzy constraints. A method is proposed for finding an optimal solution in these conditions, using convex optimization techniques. The entire method is presented and some interpretation issues are discussed. An introductory example is presented and solved using our proposal, and its results are explained and discussed.
