Algorithm for Monitoring Minimum Cost in Fuzzy Dynamic Networks

Alexander Bozhenyuk, Evgeniya Gerasimenko

Abstract


The present paper examines the task of minimum cost flow finding in a fuzzy dynamic network with lower flow bounds. The distinguishing feature of this problem statement lies in the fuzzy nature of the network parameters, such as flow bounds, transmission costs and transit times. The arcs of the considered network have lower bounds. Another feature of this task is that fuzzy flow bounds, costs and transit times can vary depending on the flow departure time. Algorithm, which implements the solution of considered problem, is proposed.


Keywords:

Fuzzy dynamic network; lower flow bounds; minimum cost flow
