چکیده

This paper introduces the Interval Logarithmic Number System (ILNS), in which the Logarithmic Number System (LNS) is used as the underlying number system for interval arithmetic. The basic operations in ILNS are introduced and an efficient method for performing ILNS addition and subtraction is presented. The paper compares ILNS to Interval Floating Point (IFP) for a few sample applications. For applications like the N-body problem, which have a large percentage of multiplies, divides and square roots, ILNS provides much narrower intervals than IFP. In other applications, like the Fast Fourier Transform, where addition and subtraction dominate, ILNS and IFP produce intervals having similar widths. Based on our analysis, ILNS is an attractive alternative to IFP for application that can tolerate low to moderate precisons.

CAS WAVELET METHOD FOR THE NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF BOUNDARY INTEGRAL EQUATIONS WITH LOGARITHMIC SINGULAR KERNELS

In this paper, we present a computational method for solving boundary integral equations with loga-rithmic singular kernels which occur as reformulations of a boundary value problem for the Laplacian equation. Themethod is based on the use of the Galerkin method with CAS wavelets constructed on the unit interval as basis.This approach utilizes the non-uniform Gauss-Legendre quadrature rule for ...

A Comprehensive Fuzzy Multiobjective Supplier Selection Model under Price Brakes and Using Interval Comparison Matrices

The research on supplier selection is abundant and the works usually only consider the critical success factors in the buyer–supplier relationship. However, the negative aspects of the buyer–supplier relationship must also be considered simultaneously. In this paper we propose a comprehensive model for ranking an arbitrary number of suppliers, selecting a number of them and allocating a quota o...

Intermittently Updated Simplified Proportionate Affine Projection Algorithm

In this paper, an intermittent update interval for filter coefficients and a simplified output error vector computation is proposed for a proportionate affine projection algorithm. It is shown that the proposed algorithm has good convergence performance and much smaller computation complexity than other proportionate-type APAs. Also, the accuracy of its implementation using the logarithmic numb...

Interval number ranking method considering multiple decision attitudes

Many interval number ranking methods cannot representthe different attitudes of decision makers with different riskappetites. Therefore, interval numbers are expressed in the RectangularCoordinate System (RCS). After mining the interval numbers in the RCS,the Symmetry Axis Compensation Factor, which is known as (lambda),was introduced, and the Equivalent Function o...

Numerical estimation in preschoolers.

Children's sense of numbers before formal education is thought to rely on an approximate number system based on logarithmically compressed analog magnitudes that increases in resolution throughout childhood. School-age children performing a numerical estimation task have been shown to increasingly rely on a formally appropriate, linear representation and decrease their use of an intuitive, loga...
