On an Optimization Method Based on Z-Numbers and the Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm

摘要

In this paper, we research the optimization problems with multiple Z-number valued objectives. First, we convert Z-numbers to classical fuzzy numbers to simplify the calculation. A new dominance relationship of two fuzzy numbers based on the lower limit of the possibility degree is proposed. Then according to this dominance relationship, we present a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm to solve the optimization problems. Finally, a simple example is used to demonstrate the validity of the suggested algorithm.
