On combinatorial optimization problems on matroids with uncertain weights. (English) Zbl 1110.90075

Summary: The combinatorial optimization problem on weighted matroid is considered. It is assumed that the weights in the problem are ill-known and they are modeled as fuzzy intervals. The optimality of solutions and the optimality of elements are characterized. This characterization is performed in the setting of possibility theory. A method of choosing a solution under uncertainty is also proposed.
