Abstract

In this paper, value-at-risk (VaR for short) is used as the measure of risk. Based on the concept of VaR, a fuzzy mean-VaR model is proposed. Firstly, we recall some definitions and results of value-at-risk in credibilistic risk analysis. Secondly, we propose the fuzzy mean- VaR model of fuzzy programming, or more precisely, credibilistic programming. Thirdly, a hybrid intelligent algorithm is provided to give a general solution of the optimization problem. Finally, numerical examples are also presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
