Abstract:

Although calculus has traditionally been proven effective for many single-variable optimization problems in science and engineering, the multi-constraint problem has been known to give difficulty in context of a worldly impediment. Fuzzy logic has already been proven a practical and probable approach in the single-variable situation. This paper presents further possibilities with fuzzy logic to multi-variable optimization problems that are difficult for the conventional calculus method.
