Dual-Interval Linear Programming Model and Its Application to Solid Waste Management Planning

A dual-interval parameter linear programming (DILP) model was developed and applied to the planning of municipal solid waste (MSW) management systems under uncertainty. The DILP can address system uncertainties with complex presentations. Parameters in the DILP can be expressed as interval numbers; however, due to the complexity of the real world, highly uncertain information may exist in the boundaries of interval parameters. When sufficient …
