Agricultural nonpoint sources (NPS) pollution has long been regarded as the leading challenge in maintaining water quality of receiving water bodies. Effluent trading can serve as a cost-effective way to achieve optimal configuration of discharge permits in agricultural NPS pollution control....

In this study, a two-stage fuzzy robust integer programming (TFRIP) method has been developed for planning environmental management systems under uncertainty. This approach integrates techniques of robust programming and two-stage stochastic programming within a mixed integer linear programming...

In this study, a dual-interval vertex analysis (DIVA) method is developed, through incorporating the vertex method within an interval-parameter programming framework. The developed DIVA method can tackle uncertainties presented as dual intervals that exist in the objective function and the left-...

In regional water management systems, various uncertainties may be derived from random feature of resource conditions and natural processes, errors in estimated modeling parameters, as well as imprecision or fuzziness human-induced. This leads to difficulties in formulating and solving the...

The growing concern for global warming caused by the increased atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) has a significant effect on environmental and energy policies and economic activities, due to the ever-increasing use of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas throughout the...

An interval-parameter chanced-constrained full-infinite mixed-integer programming (ICFMP) approach is proposed for planning energy systems under functional interval uncertainties. ICFMP cannot only deal with crisp intervals, functional intervals, and probability distributions, but also support...

In this study, an IFTSP (interval-fuzzy two-stage stochastic programming) method is developed for planning carbon dioxide (CO2) emission trading under uncertainty. The developed IFTSP incorporates techniques of interval fuzzy linear programming and two-stage stochastic programming within a...

In this study, an interval fixed-mix stochastic programming (IFSP) model is developed for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction management under uncertainties. In the IFSP model, methods of interval-parameter programming (IPP) and fixed-mix stochastic programming (FSP) are introduced into an...

In this study, a hybrid fuzzy-stochastic programming method is developed for planning water trading under uncertainties of randomness and fuzziness. The method can deal with recourse water allocation problems generated by randomness in water availability and, at the same time, tackle...
