Destruction of the roads and disruption in transportation networks are the aftermath of natural disasters, particularly if they are of great magnitude. As a version of the network capacity reliability problem, this work researches a post-disaster transportation network, where the reliability and operational capacity of links are uncertain. Uncertainty theory is utilized to develop a model of and solve the uncertain maximum capacity path (UMCP) problem to ensure that the maximum amount of relief materials and rescue vehicles arrive at areas impacted by the disaster. We originally present two new problems of (alpha)-maximum capacity path ((alpha)-MCP), which aims to determine paths of highest capacity under a given confidence level ( alpha), and most maximum capacity path (MMCP), where the objective is to maximize the confidence level under a given threshold of capacity value. We utilize these auxiliary programming models to explicate the method to, in an uncertain network, achieve the uncertainty distribution of the MCP value. A novel approach is additionally suggested to confront, in the framework of uncertainty programming, the stability analysis problem. We explicitly enunciate the method of computing the links’ tolerances in ({mathcal{O}}left( m right)) time or ({mathcal{O}}left( {left| {P^{*} } right|m} right)) time (where (m) indicates the number of links in the network and (left| {{text{P}}^{*} } right|) the number of links on the given MCP ({text{P}}^{*})). After all, the practical performance of the method and optimization model is illustrated by adopting two network samples from a real case study to show how our approach works in realistic contexts.

As a flexible and powerful method to resolve strategy conflicts, the graph model for conflict resolution has drawn much attention. In the graph model for conflict resolution, decision-makers need to provide their preference information for all possible scenarios. Most existing studies assumed that decision-makers adopt quantitative representation formats. However, in some real-life situations, decision-makers may tend to use qualitative assessments due to their cognitive expression habits. In addition, stakeholders involved in a graph model can be a group that is composed of a large number of participants. How to manage these participants’ inconsistent preference assessments is also a debatable issue. To fit these gaps, in this study, we propose a graph model for conflict resolution with linguistic preferences, and this model allows participants to use inconsistent assessments. To do this, we first construct a linguistic preference structure, with the necessary concepts being defined. Then, four stability definitions for both a two-decision-maker scenario and an n-decision-maker scenario are introduced. To illustrate the usefulness of the proposed model, an illustrative example regarding the Huawei conflict is provided.
