In this contribution we propose a method for generating OWA weighting vectors from the individual assessments on a set of alternatives in such a way that these weights minimize the disagreement among individual assessments and the outcome provided by the OWA operator. For measuring that disagreement we have aggregated distances between individual and collective assessments by using a metric and...

Unions of graph multiplier operators are an important class of linear operators for processing signals defined on graphs. We present a novel method to efficiently distribute the application of these operators. The proposed method features approximations of the graph multipliers by shifted Chebyshev polynomials, whose recurrence relations make them readily amenable to distributed computation. We...

This paper is devoted to investigating the numerical solution for a class of fractional diffusion-wave equations with a variable coefficient where the fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. The approach is based on the collocation technique where the shifted Chebyshev polynomials in time and the sinc functions in space are utilized, respectively. The problem is reduced to the...

This paper discusses the eigenvalue problem of second-order Sturm-Liouville equation. We transform the governing differential equation to the Fredholm-Volterra integral equation with appropriate end supports. By expanding the unknown function into the shifted Chebyshev polynomials, we directly get the corresponding polynomial characteristic equations, where the lower and higher-order eigenvalue...

The multivariate integer Chebyshev problem is to find polynomials with integer coefficients that minimize the supremum norm over a compact set in C. We study this problem on general sets, but devote special attention to product sets such as cube and polydisk. We also establish a multivariate analog of the Hilbert-Fekete upper bound for the integer Chebyshev constant, which depends on the dimens...

In this paper, a method based on Chebyshev polynomials is developed for examination of geometrically nonlinear behaviour of thin rectangular composite laminated plates under end-shortening strain. Different boundary conditions and lay-up configurations are investigated and classical laminated plate theory is used for developing the equilibrium equations. The equilibrium equations are solved dir...

In this paper, the wavelet method based on the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind is introduced and used to solve systems of integral equations. Operational matrices of integration, product, and derivative are obtained for the second kind Chebyshev wavelets which will be used to convert the system of integral equations into a system of algebraic equations. Also, the error is analyzed and ...
