Investment managers are multi-objective decision-makers (DMs) who make portfolio decisions by maximizing profits and minimizing risks over a multi-period planning horizon. Portfolio decisions are complex multi-objective problems which include both tangible and intangible factors. We propose an integrated multi-objective framework for project portfolio selection with respect to both the profits ...

Abstract In this paper, we introduce the concepts of $$(\in ,\in \vee (\kappa ^*,q_\kappa ))$$ ( ∈ , ∨ κ ∗ q ) -fuzzy left...

Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus is a mosquito-borne alphavirus associated with sporadic outbreaks in human and equid populations in the Western Hemisphere. After the bite of an infected mosquito, the virus initiates a biphasic disease: a peripheral phase with viral replication in lymphoid and myeloid tissues, followed by a neurotropic phase with infection of central nervous system (C...

In this paper, we propose the new concept of optimal solution for fuzzy variational problems based on the possibility and necessity measures. Inspired by the well–known embedding theorem, we can transform the fuzzy variational problem into a bi–objective variational problem. Then the optimal solutions of fuzzy variational problem can be obtained by solving its corresponding biobjective variatio...

The notions of fuzzy bi-ideals and fuzzy quasi-ideals in ordered semirings are introduced and some of their characterizations are obtained through regularity criterion.

In this study, by generalizing the notion of fuzzy bi-ideals ordered semirings, (∈,∈∨(κ*,qκ))-fuzzy is established. We prove that are but converse not true, and an example provided to support proof. A condition given under which semirings coincide with bi-ideals. An equivalent certain correspondences between presented. Moreover, (κ*,κ)-lower part described depicted in terms several classes semi...

We introduce bi-capacities as a natural generalization of capacities (or fuzzy measures) through the identity of Choquet integral of binary alternatives with fuzzy measures. We examine the underlying structure and derive the Möbius transform of bi-capacities. Next, the Choquet and Sugeno integrals w.r.t bicapacities are introduced. It is shown that symmetric and asymmetric integrals are recover...

This paper illustrates an application of intelligent control for a planar 3-RRR parallel manipulator. Unlike control of serial manipulators that has been vastly addressed in scientific literature, control of parallel manipulators has been only addressed by few. A GA optimized bi-level tuning fuzzy PD controller is designed here to control the manipulator. In order to consider the maximum allowa...

In this article, two-person zero-sum games are investigated in the fuzzy environment. Several models constructed by Maeda in the symmetrical fuzzy environment are extended to the models in the asymmetric fuzzy environment. The existence of equilibrium strategies for these extended models is proposed in the asymmetric fuzzy environment. However, in some cases, Nash equilibrium strategies may not...

The structurally correlated dihedral angles epsilon and zeta are known for their large variability within the B-DNA backbone. We have used molecular modelling to study both energetic and mechanical features of these variations which can produce BI/BII transitions. Calculations were carried out on DNA oligomers containing either YpR or RpY dinucleotides steps within various sequence environments...
