Abstract

The object of this study is a large class of mathematical programming problems under conditions of uncertainty of initial data. The formulated object generates a subclass of problems of rational distribution of a limited resource under conditions of initial data described in terms of fuzzy mathematics. The conventional, standardly used method for solving such problems is based on optimization on average. To obtain such a solution, it is sufficient to replace all fuzzy initial data with their modal values in the analytical description of the mathematical model of the corresponding problem. To solve the resulting deterministic problem, one can use known methods of mathematical programming. However, the results of such a solution can be used in practice if the carriers of fuzzy parameters are specified compactly, that is, the intervals of possible values of fuzzy parameters of the problem are small. Otherwise, the implementation of this solution may lead to unpredictably large losses. Other alternative approaches are based on the use of insufficiently informative estimates of the best or worst possible values of fuzzy parameters of the problem. These circumstances make the statement of the problem and the objective of the study relevant: devising a method for solving the problem of rational distribution of a limited resource under conditions of fuzzy initial data. To solve the stated problem of rational distribution of a limited resource, a productive idea of constructing the proposed general optimization method under conditions of uncertainty of the initial data has been constructively implemented. In this case, the initial problem is reduced to a clear problem of optimizing a complex criterion constructed on the basis of the objective function of the initial problem and a set of membership functions of its fuzzy parameters. An example of solving the problem has been considered, leading to a solution that is better than that obtained on the basis of the modal values of the fuzzy parameters of the problem
