The purpose is to minimize the total uncertain cost via maximum entropy which ensures uniform delivery of products from sources to destinations through conveyances. The expected value programming and expected constrained programming models for optimizing the entropy-based uncertain MISTPs are constructed. These models are based on uncertainty theory. Subsequently, the constructed models are converted into their deterministic equivalences which are solved using two known mathematical programming methods. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the models.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccessAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United StatesMulti-Item Transportation ProblemUncertain Entropy FunctionUncertain Multi-Objective OptimizationUncertainty TheoryArticle231459315943Q2Q2
