Decision Making Under Uncertainty Via Optimization, Modelling, and Analysis (eng)

This book focuses on cutting-edge developments in optimal decision-making incorporating modeling and optimization for determining renewable energy sources, supply chain management, and environmental planning under uncertainty. It addresses mathematical models of cost-effective management policies. This book presents the best decision-making practices for solving real-world challenges. This book provides access to an invaluable collection of various decision-making issues that scholars and industry practitioners use as a reference. The readers are able to understand how decision-making problems are formulated under uncertainty and how to use right optimization strategies to fix problems.
