ON PROGRAMMING WITH FUZZY CONSTRAINT SETS

Abstract

Two solution concepts for a FMP problem are suggested. The first one makes use of level sets of the fuzzy set of feasible alternatives. The second solution is based on the concept of Pareto maximum in vector optimization. It is shown that both solutions are equivalent in a sense that they give the same fuzzy value of a function maximized. It is suggested that if a decision‐maker is to choose a single element, then his choice must be based not only on the membership value of this element in the solution fuzzy set but also on the corresponding value of the function maximized. In this respect the situation is similar to that typical for vector optimization. The approach suggested in this paper is further used for analysing games with fuzzy sets of strategies of the players. A fuzzy equilibrium solution is introduced, which can provide a base for an agreement between the players.
