Abstract
Uncertain partial differential equation (UPDE) was introduced in literature. But the solution of a UPDE was not defined well. In this article, we will rigorously give a suitable concept of a UPDE and define its solution by an integral equation. Then, some examples are given to show the rationality of the definition. Uncertain heat conduction equation is presented as an application of UPDE. For those UPDEs having no analytic solutions, \(\alpha\)-path method is introduced to obtain the inverse uncertainty distributions of solutions to UPDEs.
期刊介绍:
The key objective of Fuzzy Optimization and Decision Making is to promote research and the development of fuzzy technology and soft-computing methodologies to enhance our ability to address complicated optimization and decision making problems involving non-probabilitic uncertainty.
The journal will cover all aspects of employing fuzzy technologies to see optimal solutions and assist in making the best possible decisions. It will provide a global forum for advancing the state-of-the-art theory and practice of fuzzy optimization and decision making in the presence of uncertainty. Any theoretical, empirical, and experimental work related to fuzzy modeling and associated mathematics, solution methods, and systems is welcome. The goal is to help foster the understanding, development, and practice of fuzzy technologies for solving economic, engineering, management, and societal problems. The journal will provide a forum for authors and readers in the fields of business, economics, engineering, mathematics, management science, operations research, and systems.
