Fuzzy Set Models in Operations Research

H.-J. Zimmermann

Chapter 14 in Fuzzy Set Theory—and Its Applications, 1996, pp 321-367 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The contents and scope of operations research has been described and defined in many different ways. Most of the people working in operations research will agree, however, that the modeling of problem situations and the search for optimal solutions to these models are undoubtedly important parts of it. The latter activity is more algorithmic, mathematical, or formal in character. The for­mer comprises many more disciplines than mathematics, has been more neglected than mathematical research in operations research, and, therefore, would prob­ably need more new advances in theory and practice.
