An interval fuzzy robust nonlinear program for the planning of municipal solid waste management systems under uncertainty

An interval fuzzy robust nonlinear program (IFRNLP) is developed and applied to a municipal solid waste (MSW) management planning problem. The method improves upon existing fuzzy robust programming and interval nonlinear programming by considering dual uncertainties and the effects of economies of scale on the MSW system. The proposed IFRNLP can explicitly address system uncertainties with complex presentations, such as fuzzy sets, interval …
