In this paper we study convolution operators Tμ with measures μ in R of the form μ (E) = ∫ B χE (x, φ (x)) dx, where B is the unit ball of R, and φ is a homogeneous polynomial function. If infh∈S1 ∣∣det (d2xφ (h, .))∣∣ vanishes only on a finite union of lines, we prove, under suitable hypothesis, that Tμ is bounded from L into L if ( 1 p , 1 q ) belongs to a certain explicitly described trapezo...

This study presents the numerical simulation of three-dimensional incompressible steady and laminar fluid flow and conjugate heat transfer of a trapezoidal microchannel heat sink using water as a cooling fluid in a silicon substrate. Navier-Stokes equations with conjugate energy equation are discretized by finite-volume method. We perform numerical computations for a range of 50 Re 600, 0.05W ...

With respect to multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems in which the attribute weights and attribute values take the form of the generalized interval-valued trapezoidal fuzzy numbers, a new group decision making analysis method is proposed. Firstly, some operational laws, the distance between two generalized interval-valued trapezoidal fuzzy numbers, and transformation from th...

Network-flow problems can be solved by several methods. Labeling techniques can be used to solve wide variety of network problems. A new algorithm to find the fuzzy maximal flow between source and sink was proposed by Kumar et el. [19]. They have represented normal triangular fuzzy numbers as network flow. It is not possible to restrict the membership function to the normal form and proposed th...

In this paper, a simple and accurate modeling technique that analyzes a non-rectilinear gate (NRG) transistor with a simplified trapezoidal approximation method is proposed. To approximate a non-rectangular channel shape into a trapezoidal shape, we extract three geometry-dependent parameters from post-lithographic patterns: the minimum channel length from the slices (Lmin), maximum channel len...

This paper presents a method of using the so-called „bacterial algorithm” [4, 5] for extracting the fuzzy rule base from a training set. The class of membership functions is restricted to trapezoidal, as it is general enough and widely used. The pseudobacterial genetic algorithm (PBGA) is show. The PBGA optimises the trapezoidal membership functions in the rules by the bacterial mutation operat...

In this work we are concerned with the numerical solution of a nonlinear weakly singular Volterra integral equation with a nonsmooth solution. We investigate the application of product integration methods and a detailed analysis of the Trapezoidal method is given. In order to improve the numerical results we consider extrapolation procedures and collocation methods based on graded meshes. Sever...

We present a new quadrature rule based on the spline interpolation along with the error analysis. Moreover, some error estimates for the reminder when the integrand is either a Lipschitzian function, a function of bounded variation or a function whose derivative belongs to L are given. We also give some examples to show that, practically, the spline rule is better than the trapezoidal rule. Key...

Abstract. In this paper, a new procedure for project scheduling called 'fuzzy cash flow weight' and 'fuzzy discounted cash flow weight' is studied with the aid of generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. A new ranking procedure namely 'SD of PILOT' (Shortest Distance of the Point of Intersection of Legs of Trapezium) is proposed to find out the output of the above said notion. Relevant arithmetic...

project selection is considered as an important problem in project management. it is multi-criteria in nature and is based on various quantitative and qualitative factors. the main purpose of this paper is to present a new rank-based method for project selection in outranking relation. according to this approach, decision alternatives were clustered in the concordance matrix and the discordance...
