Abstract
Real-life decisions are usually made in the state of uncertainty such as randomness and fuzziness. How do we model optimization problems in uncertain environments? How do we solve these models? In order to answer these questions, this book provides a self-contained, comprehensive and up-to-date presentation of uncertain programming theory, including numerous modeling ideas, hybrid intelligent algorithms, and applications in system reliability design, project scheduling problem, vehicle routing problem, facility location problem, and machine scheduling problem. Researchers, practitioners and students in operations research, management science, information science, system science, and engineering will find this work a stimulating and useful reference.

Dual-channel structure choice of an environmental responsibility supply chain with green investment

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors modeled the environmental responsibility behaviors of both manufacturer and consumers to study the dual-channel structure strategy of a green manufacturer and further examined its environmental performance under fuzzy uncertainties.

Multilayer feedforward networks are universal approximators

TL;DR: It is rigorously established that standard multilayer feedforward networks with as few as one hidden layer using arbitrary squashing functions are capable of approximating any Borel measurable function from one finite dimensional space to another to any desired degree of accuracy, provided sufficiently many hidden units are available.

Dynamic Programming

TL;DR: The more the authors study the information processing aspects of the mind, the more perplexed and impressed they become, and it will be a very long time before they understand these processes sufficiently to reproduce them.

The concept of a linguistic variable and its application to approximate reasoning—II☆

TL;DR: Much of what constitutes the core of scientific knowledge may be regarded as a reservoir of concepts and techniques which can be drawn upon to construct mathematical models of various types of systems and thereby yield quantitative information concerning their behavior.
