Abstract
In this paper, a two-level decentralized decision-making problem is formulated as fuzzy random dependent-chance bilevel programming. We define the fuzzy random Nash equilibrium in the lower level problem and the fuzzy random Stackelberg-Nash equilibrium of the overall problem. In order to find the equilibria, we propose a hybrid intelligent algorithm, in which neural network, as uncertain function approximator, plays a crucial role in saving computing time, and genetic algorithm is used for optimization. Finally, we apply the fuzzy random dependent-chance bilevel programming to hierarchical resource allocation problem for illustrating the modelling idea and the effectiveness of the hybrid intelligent algorithm.
