✦ Synopsis

Fuzzy multistage derision processes are normally modelled and solved via fuzzy dynamic programming aigorithm$. We first review the field and present a branch and bound type alternative due to Kacprzyk. We next rectify some computational errors in Kacprzyk's example and show some examples from environmental damage reduction planning studies where the algorithm is applicable and efficient.
