Optimization Techniques for Sustainable Environment Under Uncertainty (Engineering Optimization: Methods and Applications)

The book's objective is to develop mathematical structures that can be applied to real-life problems with sustainable goals. It focuses on the impact of sustainable living on social, economic, and environmental aspects, aiming to create optimization techniques that minimize emissions and maximize green energy. These optimization problems may include sustainable transport, cities, economic development, living, and tourism. The book brings together researchers, academics, and professionals from various fields to find optimal or satisfactory solutions for various environmentally friendly sustainable problems. It aims to achieve this not only with existing optimization techniques, but also with novel approaches such as lexicographic optimization, heuristic approaches, DEA, and genetic algorithms. The goal is to develop practical algorithms and methods applicable to these problems under uncertain circumstances and explore the potential for improving the efficiency of existing algorithms.
