A GREY FUZZY LINEAR PROGRAMMING APPROACH FOR MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANNING UNDER UNCERTAINTY

Abstract

This paper proposes a new mathematical programming method—grey fuzzy linear programming (GFLP)—as a means for optimization analysis under uncertainty. The method improves upon previous grey linear programming (GLP) and flexible fuzzy linear programming (FLP) methods by allowing uncertainty in both the model coefficients and stipulations to be effectively communicated into the optimization process, and thus provide more satisfactory solutions …
