Solid waste management under uncertainty: a generalized fuzzy linear programming approach

In this study, a generalized fuzzy linear programming (GFLP) method is developed to identify optimal waste-flow-allocation schemes under uncertainty. A stepwise interactive algorithm (SIA) is advanced to solve the GFLP model and generate solutions expressed as fuzzy sets. This solution method can handle fuzzy sets with known membership functions, regardless of the shapes of these functions. Moreover, solutions expressed as fuzzy sets can also …
