this paper proposes improvements and revisions to a recent approach in a voting system, and provides an effective approach with a stronger discriminate power. for this purpose, the advantage of a linear transformation is utilized to redene a previously used concept of virtual worst candidate, by incorporating the existing weight restrictions. then, the best score of this virtual candidate is u...

in this paper, a new method is proposed to find the fuzzy optimal solution of fully fuzzy linear programming (abbreviated to fflp) problems. also, we employ linear programming (lp) with equality constraints to find a nonegative fuzzy number vector x which satisfies ax =b, where a is a fuzzy number matrix. then we investigate the existence of a positive solution of fully fuzzy linear system (ffls).

the main purpose of this research is the presentation of some prerequisites of educational theorizing with regard to ontologic components of complexity paradigm. for this purpose, by using the philosophical methods, after making mention of how ontologic components of simplicity paradigm (naive realism, linear causation, determinism) influence contemporary educational theories, ontologic compone...

in this paper, the synchronization of a new hyperchaotic complex system based on t-s fuzzy model is proposed. first the considered hyperchaotic system is represented by t-s fuzzy model equivalently. then by using the parallel distributed compensation (pdc) method and by applying linear system theory and exact linearization (el) technique, a fuzzy controller is designed to realize the synchroniz...
