``Softer'' optimization and control models via fuzzy linguistic quantifiers (Q1057191)

Fuzzy linguistic quantifiers, handled by a fuzzy logic based calculus of linguistically quantified propositions, are used to ''soften'' multicriterion and multistage (control) decision models. Basically, in the former case an optimal option is sought best satisfying, e.g., most, almost all, etc. criteria, while in the latter case - an optimal sequence of controls best satisfying goals and constraints at, e.g., most, almost all, etc. control stages.
