Monte Carlo Methods in Fuzzy Optimization
This book is a concise and readable introduction to Monte Carlo methods to find good approximate solutions to fuzzy optimization problems. Various basic applications and illustrative examples are presented in an understandable way. The aim of the book is to convince the reader that Monte Carlo methods can be useful in generating approximate solutions to fuzzy optimization problems.
Fuzzy probabilities : New approach and applications
In probability and statistics we often have to estimate probabilities and parameters in probability distributions using a random sample. Instead of using a point estimate calculated from the data we propose using fuzzy numbers which are constructed from a set of confidence intervals. In probability calculations we apply constrained fuzzy arithmetic because probabilities must add to one. Fuzzy random variables have fuzzy distributions. A fuzzy normal random variable has the normal distribution with fuzzy number mean and variance. Applications are to queuing theory, Markov chains, inventory control, decision theory and reliability theory.
