Praktische Problemstellungen der Ablaufplanung sind durch die simultane Existenz multipler, häufig konfliktärer Zielsetzungen charakterisiert. Aufgrund der Komplexität derartiger Problemstellungen konnten exakte Lösungsverfahren bislang nur für wenige Spezialfälle entwickelt werden....

This book presents a clear, systematic treatment of convergence theorems of set-valued random variables (random sets) and fuzzy set-valued random variables (random fuzzy sets). Topics such as strong laws of large numbers and central limit theorems, including new results in connection with the...
