Title: Interval Valued Probability Measures as a Unifying Theory for Optimization Under Generalized Uncertainty.

 

Speaker: Weldon A. Lodwick 

Professor Visitante, UNIFESP, São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Instituto de Ciências e Tecnologia Departamento de Matemática and University of Colorado (Denver), Mathematics Department.

Schedule:  30/08   16:00 

Room: LabEnsino-Dimap-UFRN.

Abstract: This talk uses a new formal definition of interval valued probability measure (IVPM) based on a measure theoretic foundation and shows that generalized uncertainty data occurring in optimization models, in particular, possibilistic optimization, can be formulated in the IVPM framework. We will first develop interval-valued probability measure theory and then look at how it is used in optimization. If there is time, we will present interval-valued probability measure integration theory. Since generalized uncertainty is defined by a set of distributions bounded above and below by two distributions, a representation that uses a parameterized combination of upper and lower bounding functions, called constraint interval functions, is used to carry out the possibilistic optimization.
