Dependent-chance programming with fuzzy decisions

Dependent-chance programming (DCP) is a new type of stochastic programming and has been extended to the area of fuzzy programming. This paper provides a spectrum of DCP and dependent-chance multiobjective programming (DCMOP) as well as dependent-chance goal programming (DCGP) models with fuzzy rather than crisp decisions. The terms of uncertain environment, event, chance function, and induced constraints are discussed in the case of fuzzy decisions. A technique of fuzzy simulation is also designed for computing chance functions. Finally, we present a fuzzy simulation-based genetic algorithm for solving these models and illustrate its effectiveness by some numerical examples.
