Fuzzy optimal control problem of several variables (Q2307998)

The authors generalize to several state variables the notion of fuzzy optimal control. More precisely, they establish the necessary conditions for a fuzzy optimal control problem of several variables, based on the concepts of differentiability and integrability of a fuzzy-valued function with the help of the definition of strong and weak solutions in the fuzzy concept. First, they define fuzzy optimal control problems involving isoperimetric constraints and higher-order differential equations. Then, they convert these problems to fuzzy optimal control problems of several variables in order to solve these problems using the same solution method. The results obtained are illustrated throughout some examples. In particular, a discussion on the strong solutions (fuzzy solutions) of the problems treated in the paper are presented.
