This paper analyses technical efficiency of Italian and Spanish football during three recent seasons, to shed light on the sport performance of professional football clubs. To achieve this we have used mathematical optimisation methods, particularly DEA models, which enable the calculation of...

This paper presents a new possibilistic programming approach to the portfolio selection problem. It is based on two issues: the approximation of the rates of return on securities by means of fuzzy numbers of trapezoidal form, for which we use the interval-valued ex-pectation defined by Dubois...

Zimmermann (1978) proposed a fuzzy method for solving multiple objective decision problems whose main difficulty is in specifying the membership functions of the objectives. We have considered two different approaches to construct those membership functions that give rise to two algorithms for...
