in this paper, shortest path design problem (spdp) in which the path is incident to all cells is considered. the bi-directional path is one of the known types of configuration of networks for automated guided vehi-cles (agv).to solve this problem, two algorithms are developed. for each algorithm an integer linear pro-gramming (ilp) is determined. the objective functions of both algorithms are t...

Fuzzy random variable is a combination of fuzzy variable and random variable, and can characterize both fuzziness and randomness in the real world. The mean chance of a fuzzy random event is an important concept in fuzzy random optimization, just like the probability of a stochastic event in stochastic optimization and the credibility of a fuzzy event in fuzzy optimization. In fuzzy random prog...

Uncertainty inherent in the financial market was usually consid- ered to be random. However, randomness is only one special type of uncer- tainty and appropriate when describing objective information. For describing subjective information it is preferred to assume that uncertainty is fuzzy. This paper defines the expected payoof trading strategies in a fuzzy financial market within the framewor...

The methodological paper presents a strategic model to simulate the reduction of CO2 emissions caused by the heating and lighting in the residential sector. The objective is to illustrate with this practical case a system-dynamics based simulation methodology in uncertain future, developed for providing policy recommendations to public decision-makers. The uncertainties on the marginal cost cur...

Capacity uncertainty is a common issue in the transportation planning field. However, few studies discuss the intermodal routing problem with service capacity uncertainty. Based on our previous study on the intermodal routing under deterministic capacity consideration, we systematically explore how service capacity uncertainty influences the intermodal routing decision. First of all, we adopt t...

The malicious usage of the cloud platform, untrusted providers, and untrusted perception from the users all contribute to the difficult application of the cloud services. In order to solve these issues, a trust evaluation method of the cloud service based on user perception is proposed. Based on fuzzy set theory, the behaviors of nodes in the cloud platform are quantitated, and the trust values...

With the rapid increase of 3-dimensional (3D) content, considerable research related to the 3D human factor has been undertaken for quantitatively evaluating visual discomfort, including eye fatigue and dizziness, caused by viewing 3D content. Various modalities such as electroencephalograms (EEGs), biomedical signals, and eye responses have been investigated. However, the majority of the previ...

This paper owes a great deal to Doug Laxton. We also thank Phil Lowe, Glenn Stevens and participants in a seminar at the Reserve Bank of Australia for helpful comments. The views expressed in this paper are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the Reserve Bank of Australia. Use of any results from this paper should clearly attribute the work to the authors and not to the Reserve Ba...

This article addresses exact controllability for Caputo fuzzy fractional evolution equations in the credibility space from perspective of Liu process. The class or problems considered here are differential with derivatives order β∈(1,2), 0CDtβu(t,ζ)=Au(t,ζ)+f(t,u(t,ζ))dCt+Bx(t)Cx(t)dt initial conditions u(0)=u0,u′(0)=u1, where u(t,ζ) takes values U(⊂EN),V(⊂EN) is other bounded space, and EN rep...
