| Abstract: | In this study, a fuzzy-queue (FQ)-based inexact stochastic quadratic programming (SQP) method is developed through coupling FQ technique with inexact SQP. FQ-SQP improves upon the existing stochastic programming methods by considering the effects of queuing phenomenon during the water resources allocation process. FQ-SQP cannot only handle uncertainties expressed as interval values, random variables, and fuzzy sets, but also tackle nonlinearity in the objective function; more importantly, it can reflect the effects of FQ on water resources allocation and system benefit. The FQ-SQP model is applied to a case study of planning water resources management, where FM/FM/1 (fuzzy exponential interarrival time, fuzzy exponential service time, and one server) queue is incorporated within the SQP modeling framework. Based on α-cut analysis technique, interval solutions with fuzzy arrival and service rates have been generated, which result in different water resources allocation patterns as well as changed waiting water amounts and system benefits. Results indicate that consideration of queuing problem impacts on water resources allocation can provide more useful information for decision makers and gain in-depth insights into the effects of queuing problems for water resources allocation. |
