Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over time, the concepts of cost, time, delivery, space, quality, durability, and price began to gain more significance in the emerging trends of information technology when it comes to solving managerial decision-making problems in supply chain models, transportation issues, inventory control issues, etc. Additionally, in uncertain situations, competition is becoming more difficult by the day. For instance, a number of diverse aspects, such as the cost of manufacturing, one's degree of income, and others, frequently influence consumer demand. In these situations, the demand is either still unmet or remarkably hard to meet in the real-world market. Due to their numeric membership functions, fuzzy sets cannot always represent this uncertainty explicitly. However, it has been discovered that type two random fuzzy, bifuzzy, and fuzzy random sets are more suited to account for intrinsic uncertainty. These various fuzzy systems are able to manage greater degrees of ambiguity in increasingly difficult real-world issues. However, it is crucial to employ optimization techniques in order to obtain the ideal design as diverse fuzzy systems grow more complicated to conceive.
We invite both academics and industrial engineering, as well as management professionals, to submit original high-quality articles to this Special Issue addressing novel ideas in the following areas: green supply chains, inventory control issues, transportation issues, and novel information for topics from both theoretical and practical perspectives in fuzzy, random fuzzy, bifuzzy, type two fuzzy, and random environments.
- Fuzzy set theory and applications;
- Bifuzzy, fuzzy random theory and applications;
- Type two fuzzy and engineering applications;
- Possibility, necessity, and credibility measures;
- Fuzzy differential equations, modeling, and simulation;
- Bifuzzy, random fuzzy, fuzzy rough, and rough expectations;
- PID, FLC controllers, soft computing, and fuzzy logic;
- Application areas in operations research, ANNs, WSNs, and artificial intelligence;
- Design of nonlinear controllers;
- Type two fuzzy controllers;
- Intuitionistic fuzzy logic;
- All real-life applications.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
