An interval fuzzy bi-level programming (IFBP) approach is developed for planning water resources management system. The developed IFBP improves upon the existing bi-level programming by introducing interval mathematical programming (IMP) into its framework. The IFBP can handle uncertainties expressed as interval values in the constraints' left-and right-hand sides, as well as in the upper-and lower-level objective functions. Moreover, the decision dimensions of objective functions can be addressed through setting different tolerance levels based on the fuzzy set theory, such that tradeoffs corresponding to different upper-and lower-level objectives as well as varied system optimality and reliability can be generated. A case study is provided for an application to planning a water resources management system, where a number of scenarios are analyzed. For all scenarios under consideration, the IFBP method has advantages over the conventional programming methods with single decision maker in reflecting the interactions among multi-level objectives and strategies as well as encouraging co-operations among multiple parties under uncertainty.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
