Comparison of Methodologies for Multicriteria Feasibility — Constrained Fuzzy and Multiple-Objective Stochastic Linear Programming

  • Chapter
Combining Fuzzy Imprecision with Probabilistic Uncertainty in Decision Making

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems ((LNE,volume 310))

Abstract

Methods for solving a multicriteria linear program with coefficients of the objective functions and the constraints being flat fuzzy numbers and those dealing with a stochastic multicriteria linear program where imprecision of some data is modelled by probability distributions are surveyed.

The methodologies are compared and evaluated. Some ideas of future research are emphasized.
