In this paper, we introduce a type of latticized optimization problem whose objective function is the maximum component function and the feasible region is defined as a system of fuzzy relational equalities (FRE) defined by the Dombi t-norm. Dombi family of t-norms includes a parametric family of continuous strict t-norms, whose members are increasing functions of the parameter. This family of t-norms covers the whole spectrum of t-norms when the parameter is changed from zero to infinity. Since the feasible solutions set of FREs is non-convex and the finding of all minimal solutions is an NP-hard problem, designing an efficient solution procedure for solving such problems is not a trivial job. Some necessary and sufficient conditions are derived to determine the feasibility of the problem. The feasible solution set is characterized in terms of a finite number of closed convex cells. An algorithm is presented for solving this nonlinear problem. It is proved that the algorithm can find the exact optimal solution and an example is presented to illustrate the proposed algorithm., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2206.09716, arXiv:2207.06373

Aczel-Alsina t-norm belongs to the family of strict t-norms that are the most applied fuzzy operators in various fuzzy modelling problems. In this paper, we study a linear optimization problem where the feasible region is formed as a system of fuzzy relational equations (FRE) defined by the Aczel-Alsina t-norm. Since the feasible solutions set of FREs is non-convex and the finding of all minimal solutions is an NP-hard problem, conventional methods may not be directly employed. The resolution of the feasible region is completely investigated. Based on some theoretical properties of the problem, an algorithm is presented to find all the optimal solutions, and finally an example is described to illustrate this algorithm., Comment: this paper accepted in 1st National Conference on optimization and new solution methods,6 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2204.06181

In this paper, a linear programming problem is investigated in which the feasible region is formed as a special type of fuzzy relational equalities (FRE). In this type of FRE, fuzzy composition is considered as the weighted power mean operator (WPM). Some theoretical properties of the feasible region are derived and some necessary and sufficient conditions are also presented to determine the feasibility of the problem. Moreover, two procedures are proposed for simplifying the problem. Based on some structural properties of the problem, an algorithm is presented to find the optimal solutions and finally, an example is described to illustrate the algorithm.

In this paper, we introduce a nonlinear optimization problem whose objective function is the convex log-sum-exp function and the feasible region is defined as a system of fuzzy relational inequalities (FRI) defined by the Lukasiewicz t-norm. Some necessary and sufficient conditions are derived to determine the feasibility of the problem. The feasible solution set is characterized in terms of a finite number of closed convex cells. Since the feasible solutions set of FRIs is non-convex, conventional methods may not be directly employed. An algorithm is presented for solving this nonlinear problem. It is proved that the algorithm can find the exact optimal solution and an example is presented to illustrate the proposed algorithm., Comment: published in 14th international conference of iranian operation society
