Applications of Fuzzy Set in Mathematical Programming

Richa Mehrotra

Abstract

The Information in today’s world are uncertain and are under circumstances of increased uncertainty so decisions are difficult to be made. There are different techniques to represent these uncertainties. One of the ways of representing it is with the help of Fuzzy Set Theory & Fuzzy Numbers. One of the very fascinating ideas of using fuzzy set in Mathematical programming and linear programming problems has benefited largely in decision-making, in today’s era. This paper presents some general definitions and concepts of fuzzy sets with a few general applications. We have also discussed its application in Mathematical programming in a little detail to focus on the fact that introduction of fuzzy in linear programming has helped largely in decision-making.
