This paper sustains a sound mathematical and computing background. In this paper, the software-based approach for solving intuitionistic fuzzy solid assignment problem (IFSAP) is presented. The IFSAP is formulated and it is solved by using Lingo 17.0 software tool. Theorems related to IFSAP is proved. The IFSAP and its crisp solid assignment problem both are solved at a time and their optimal solution is obtained. In addition, the optimal objective values of both the IFSAP and its crisp solid assignment problem (SAP) are estimated with the help of substituting the optimal solution(s) to their respective decision variables in the objective functions. Some new and important results are proposed. To illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method the numerical example is presented. The reliability of the proposed results are verified by using the numerical example. Strengths and weakness of the paper is mentioned. The novelty of the analysis is given into a coherent, concise, and meaningful manner of analysis. Social issue (real-life problem) is converted into a mathematical model and it is solved by the proposed method. At the end, the advantages of the proposed algorithm is explained.

Aggregators used in fuzzy control—a review.

fuzzy assignment problem pdf

1. Introduction

  • Provide an accurate and detailed summary of the current state of re-examination of aggregation functions;
  • Cover theoretical advances, practical applications, and empirical research in one comprehensive document;
  • Highlight the importance of this research and its results for a better understanding and application of aggregation functions;
  • Synthesise findings from different studies to identify common themes, patterns, and trends;
  • Integrate insights from different research areas to provide a broad perspective and holistic view of the field.
  • Section 2 (Preliminaries)—basic assumptions and definitions to remind and facilitate the concept of aggregation and others related to this paper;
  • Section 3 (Materials and Methods)—an approach to article search and selection;
  • Section 4 (Results)—a synthetic summary of the selected publications and their collation;
  • Section 5 (Discussion)—analysis and review of the results;
  • Section 6 (Conclusions)—presents conclusions and a summary of the scope of the selected articles.

2. Preliminaries

2.1. basic definitions.

  • f(a, a, a, …, a) = a and f(b, b, b, …, b) = b;-*
  • for x, y argument values x ≤ y implies f (x) ≤ f (y) for all x, y ∈ I n .

2.2. Classification and General Properties

2.2.1. main classes.

  • Conjunctive;
  • Disjunctive;

2.2.2. Main Properties

2.2.3. comparability, 2.2.4. continuity and stability, 2.3. main families, 2.3.1. min and max, 2.3.2. means, 2.3.3. medians, 2.3.4. choquet and sugeno integrals, 2.4. selection of aggregation function.

  • Select an aggregation function that must match the semantics of the aggregation procedure;
  • Choose the right member of the class/family that does what it is supposed to do—produce the right output for the input.
  • the least-squares norm ( p = 2)
  • the latest absolute deviation norm ( p = 1):
  • the Chebyshev norm ( p = ∞):
  • or their weighted analogues, like:

3. Materials and Methods

3.1. dataset and devices, 3.2. methods, 4.1. scope of topics in the publications, 4.2. early attempts, 4.3. late attempts.

  • In the first stage, the optimal charging of each PEV is calculated using the Bee algorithm as the aggregator optimizer;
  • In the second stage, the aggregated power is distributed among electric vehicles using a fuzzy controller.

5. Discussion

5.1. limitations of current approaches to aggregators.

  • Selection of aggregator functions: its subjectivity and lack of standardization—there is no universally accepted standard for the selection of aggregation operators, which may lead to inconsistencies between different systems and applications;
  • Computational complexity that limits performance and scalability, especially in real-time fuzzy control applications where fast response times are important, and as the number of input data increases, the computational burden of some aggregation methods may become too high;
  • Potential loss of information: oversimplification, especially when using simple aggregation methods such as minimum or maximum operators, which may result in less accurate or less diverse resulting control;
  • Nonlinearity and uncertainty: some aggregation methods may introduce nonlinearity into the system, making the behavior of a fuzzy control system more difficult to predict and analyze, as well as suboptimal performance in uncertain environments;
  • Context dependence: lack of adaptability in dynamic environments where the relationships between inputs and outputs may change over time;
  • Input interdependence: ignoring the interconnectedness of inputs can lead to incorrect control decisions;
  • The complexity of designing and tuning aggregation operators can be high and time-consuming, especially when tuning for a specific application domain;
  • Integration with other systems: aggregation methods in fuzzy control systems may not be easily integrated with other control or decision-making systems;
  • Objectively assessing the performance of different aggregation operators can be difficult, placing high demands on comparison and selection of the most appropriate one for a particular application.

5.2. Directions of Further Studies on Aggregators

  • Adaptive aggregation methods: developing aggregation operators that adapt to changing contexts or operating conditions in real time based on the current or predicted state of the system;
  • Learning-based aggregation: implementing machine-learning techniques (neural networks, reinforcement learning) to learn optimal aggregation strategies from data to improve the adaptability and performance of fuzzy control systems;
  • Complexity reduction: designing more computationally efficient aggregation algorithms that reduce the computational load, especially for real-time applications and systems with a large number of inputs, but also developing simplified aggregation models as a trade-off between computational efficiency and the accuracy of the aggregated result (sufficient aggregator instead of optimal aggregator);
  • Creating aggregation operators resistant to uncertainty (e.g., based on the integration of concepts from the probabilistic and interval approaches);
  • Development of nonlinear aggregation techniques that can better capture the complex relationships between inputs while maintaining computational feasibility;
  • Correlation-aware aggregation: create multidimensional aggregation operators that consider common distributions of input data, providing a more accurate representation of their common behavior;
  • Multi-criteria and multi-objective aggregation: development of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques with fuzzy aggregation to handle scenarios with many conflicting goals or criteria—Pareto-optimal aggregation also applies here;
  • Hybrid control systems: combining fuzzy aggregation methods with other control strategies;
  • Development of aggregator performance metrics and benchmarking frameworks to objectively evaluate and compare different aggregation operators in terms of accuracy, robustness, computational efficiency, and adaptability in various practical applications.

To solve the problems of Engineering and Management Science Generalized Assignment Problem (GAP) plays a very important role. The GAP is a classical example of a difficult combinatorial optimization problem that has received considerable attention over the years due to its widespread applications. In many instances it appears as a substructure in more complicated models, including routing problems, facility location models, knapsack problems, computer networking applications etc. Recently, Fuzzy Generalized Assignment Problem (FGAP) became very popular because in real life, data may not be known with certainty. So, to consider uncertainty in real life situations fuzzy data instead of crisp data is more advantageous. In this paper, cost for assigning the j-th job to the i-th person is taken as triangular fuzzy numbers. Further we have put a restriction on the total available cost which makes the problem more realistic and general. The problem is solved by modified Fuzzy Extremum Diff...

I n the literature, there are various methods to solve assignment problems in which parameters are represented by triangular or trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. This paper presents an assignment problem with fuzzy costs, where the objective is to minimize the cost. Here each fuzzy cost is assumed as trapezoidal fuzzy number. A new ranking method has been used for ranking the fuzzy trapezoidal numbers. The fuzzy assignment problem has been transformed into a crisp one using ranking function and solved by branch and bound method. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the proposed approach.

This paper presents an assignment problem with fuzzy costs, where the objective is to minimize the cost. Here each fuzzy cost is assumed as triangular or trapezoidal fuzzy number. Yager’s ranking method has been used for ranking the fuzzy numbers. The fuzzy assignment problem has been transformed into a crisp one, using linguistic variables and solved by Hungarian technique. The use of linguistic variables helps to convert qualitative data into quantitative data which will be effective in dealing with fuzzy assignment problems of qualitative nature. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the proposed approach.

The Fuzzy Assignment Problem (FAP) is a classic combinatorial optimization problem that has received a lot of attention. FAP has a wide range of uses. We suggest a new algorithm that combines to solve the FAP in this paper. Each column is maximized during the optimization process, and the best choice with the lowest cost is selected. The proposed method follows a standard methodology, is simple to execute, and takes less effort to compute. An order to obtain the best solution, the assignment problem is specifically solved here. We looked at how well trapezoidal fuzzy numbers performed. Then, to convert crisp numbers, we use the robust ranking method for trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. The optimality of the result provided by this new method is clarified by a numerical example.

The assignment problem is a famous problem in combinatorial optimization where several objects (tasks) are assigned to different entities (workers) with the goal of minimizing the total assignment cost. In real life, this problem often arises in many practical applications with uncertain data. Hence, this data (the assignment cost) is usually presented as fuzzy numbers. In this paper, the assignment problem is considered with trapezoidal fuzzy parameters and solved using the novel Dhouib-Matrix-AP1 (DM-AP1) heuristic. In fact, this research work presents the first application of the DM-AP1 heuristic to the fuzzy assignment problem, and a step-by-step application of DM-AP1 is detailed for more clarity. DM-AP1 is composed of three simple steps and repeated only once in n iterations. Moreover, DM-AP1 is enhanced with two techniques: a ranking function to order the trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and the min descriptive statistical metric to navigate through the research space. DM-AP1 is developed under the Python programming language and generates a convivial assignment network diagram plan.
