On characterization of fuzzy vectors and its applications to fuzzy mathematical programming problems (Q835306): Difference between revisions

The author defines a fuzzy vector \(\widetilde a\) in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) as a fuzzy set with membership function \(\mu_{\overline a}: \mathbb{R}^n\to[0, 1]\), which is upper semi-continuous, quasi-concave and has a unique element \(c\in\mathbb{R}^n\) such that \(\mu(c)= 1\). Properties of the fuzzy vectors are investigated and a pseudo-ordering on the set of all fuzzy vectors with bounded supports is introduced and called fuzzy max order.These results and concepts are used in the further part of the paper to investigate optimization problems with crisp linear constraints and fuzzy vector-valued objective function. Using the fuzzy max order, 3 types of optimal solution of the optimization problems considered are proposed and their properties are proved. Theoretical results and introduced concepts are illustrated on numerical examples with fuzzy vectors on \(\mathbb{R}^2\).
