GREY QUADRATIC PROGRAMMING AND ITS APPLICATION TO MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANNING UNDER UNCERTAINTY

This paper introduces a grey quadratic programming (GQP) method asa means for decision making under uncertainty. The method improves upon existing grey linear programming (GLP) methods by allowing the consideration of the effects of economies of scale on cost coefficients in the objective function. The approach also has advantages over a grey nonlinear programming method, since a global optimum is obtainable and the model is moderately easy to …
