The fuzzy reasoning numerical spiking neural P systems (FRNSN P systems) are proposed by introducing the interval-valued triangular fuzzy numbers into the numerical spiking neural P systems (NSN P systems). The NSN P systems were applied to the SAT p...
Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) plays a vibrant role in decision-making, and the characteristic object method (COMET) acts as a powerful tool for decision-making of complex problems. COMET technique allows using both symmetrical and asymmetrica...
In recent years, many firms have come to understand that innovation is an important issue in sustainable business management, as it helps improve firm capabilities and competencies. Because of the fiercely competitive environment in the hotel industr...
The cold supply chain (CSC) reverse logistics segment remains underexplored in the risk assessment literature. Existing frameworks apply traditional failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) with a three-criterion structure (severity, occurrence, dete...
The development of information and communication technologies has revolutionized and changed the way we do business in various areas. The field of education did not remain immune to the mentioned changes; there was a gradual integration of the educat...
This world has a wide range of technologies and possibilities that are available to control air pollution. Still, finding the best solution to control the contamination of the air without having any impact on humans is a complicated task. This propos...
The third-party platform named ECO system is used by many transnational companies to monitor the sustainability performance of their global suppliers because of its easiness and shareability. Nonetheless, methods used in this platform for evaluating...
Global warming is mainly caused by carbon emissions. Currently, fewer countries are concentrating on reducing carbon emissions. The primary strategy utilized by numerous countries to achieve carbon emissions reduction is the carbon tax policy. With t...
Numerous constraints affect construction projects, and lack of management may lead to schedule deviation. In the execution phase of the project, due to the lack of timely access to the required resources and the existence of uncertainty, the project...
In this paper, the solution of fuzzy differential equations is approximated numerically using diagonally implicit multistep block method of order four. The multistep block method is well known as an efficient and accurate method for solving ordinary...
Dombi t-norm (DTN) and t-conorm (TCN) are among the most effective triangular norms in fuzzy systems for aggregation purposes. The environment of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) set gives us precision in expressing uncertain information b...
Trapezoidal-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TrVIFNs) are the real generalizations of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, and triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, which effectively model real-life probl...
The EVM method is an essential project management technique that compares the work done to the planned values (PVs) to identify project variances. However, the inherent uncertainties and possibilities in the project introduce uncertainty in the input...
As a variable system, the Lake of Kastoria is a good example regarding the pattern of the Mediterranean shallow lakes. The focus of this study is on the investigation of this lake’s eutrophication, analyzing the relation of the basic factors th...
This paper studies the problem of tangible assets acquisition within the company by proposing a new hybrid model that uses linear programming and fuzzy numbers. Regarding linear programming, two methods were implemented in the model, namely: the grap...
This work develops a fuzzy piecewise fractional derivative (FPFD) model for cancer-immune-angiogenesis dynamics under uncertainty. Five fuzzy state variables track tumor cells, immune effectors, vessel density, oxygen, and drug concentration. We empl...
Seaport network efficiency is very crucial for global maritime economic trades and growth. In this work, data of three years (2018–2020) with input variables (time in port, age of vessels, size of vessels, cargo carrying capacity of vessels) an...
A communication network management system takes the measurements of its state variables at specific instants of time, considering them constant in the interval between two consecutive measurements. Nevertheless, this assumption is not true, since the...
The primary aim of this paper is to develop one kind of easy and effective method to solve fuzzy cooperative games with coalition values expressed by triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs). This method ensures that each player should receive a TFN-typed fuz...
The Neutrosophic set (NS) has grasped concentration by its ability for handling indeterminate, uncertain, incomplete, and inconsistent information encountered in daily life. Recently, there have been various extensions of the NS, such as single value...
Background/Objectives: Under fixed-fee reimbursement such as Japan’s Diagnosis Procedure Combination/Per Diem Payment System (DPC/PDPS), hospitals bear the cost of operations that run longer than planned, yet conventional time-driven activity-b...
Subsea tunnels cross complex geological structures, such as weathered troughs with fractured rock masses and high permeability, and are prone to water and mud inrush. To minimize the risk of subsea tunnelling, a novel method consisting of a multi-ind...
Traditional coupling coordination degree (CCD) evaluation methods fail to simultaneously ensure the accuracy and reliability of evaluation results. To overcome this limitation, a novel evaluation method that integrates the logical multiplication of c...
Given that existing electricity sales package recommendation methods mainly consider scenarios where customers are familiar with all the attributes of the packages, they tend to overlook the mixed nature of quantitative and qualitative attributes, ps...
Uncertain masses, dimensions, and friction coefficients can cause a robot’s motion to differ from predictions based on nominal parameters. This study examines how these uncertainties affect joint trajectories and which parameters deserve closer...
