“…A technique based on interval arithmetic and forward/backward sweep method for IPF problem was presented in [18], although the hull results cover all the possible value of PF solutions, it is overconservative due to the completely independent natural of interval numbers (INs). In order to improve the accuracy of IPF, many techniques such as iterative interval arithmetic methods [19][20][21][22], optimisation methods [23,24], affine algorithms [25,26], and mixed methods [27][28][29], have been researched and applied to solve IPF problem.…”
