highly uncertain conditions, ie where neither the statistical data nor the physical knowledge …

Seismic resiliency of new buildings has improved over the years due to improved seismic
codes and design practices. However, vulnerability of seismically deficient older buildings …

This paper presents a comprehensive overview of currently known applications of

A soft risk map of natural disaster is aimed at the visualization of risk levels of natural
disasters defined by the fuzzy probabilities. In this paper, we discuss three soft risk maps …

Decision making in real world is usually made in fuzzy environment and subject to fuzzy
risks. The value at risk (VaR) is a widely used tool in risk management and the average …

In this paper a production inventory model of a single item with a variable production rate
