 Title: Uncertain input data problems and the worst scenario method (English) Author: Hlaváček, Ivan Language: English Journal: Applications of Mathematics ISSN: 0862-7940 (print) ISSN: 1572-9109 (online) Volume: 52 Issue: 3 Year: 2007 Pages: 187-196 Summary lang: English . Category: math . Summary: An introduction to the worst scenario method is given. We start with an example and a general abstract scheme. An analysis of the method both on the continuous and approximate levels is discussed. We show a possible incorporation of the method into the fuzzy set theory. Finally, we present a survey of applications published during the last decade. (English) Keyword: uncertain input data Keyword: the worst-case approach Keyword: fuzzy sets MSC: 49J20 MSC: 74C10 MSC: 74K20 MSC: 93C20 MSC: 93C25 MSC: 93C41 idZBL: Zbl 1164.93354 idMR: MR2316152 DOI: 10.1007/s10492-007-0010-9 .
