When demand for an airspace sector exceeds capacity, the balance can be re-established by reducing the demand, increasing the capacity, or both. The Multi-Sector Planner (MSP) concept has been proposed to better manage traffic demand by modifying trajectories across multiple sectors. A complementary approach to MSP, called Flexible Airspace Management (FAM), reconfigures the airspace such that ...

This paper presents a new method for document retrieval using fuzzy-valued concept networks, where the relevant degrees between the concepts in a fuzzy-valued concept network are represented by arbitrary shapes of fuzzy numbers. There are two kinds of relevant relationships between any two concepts in a fuzzy-valued concept network, i.e., fuzzy positive association and fuzzy negative associatio...

Low-carbon tourism plays an important role in carbon emission reduction and environmental protection. Low-carbon tourism destination selection often involves multiple conflicting and incommensurate attributes or criteria and can be modelled as a multi-attribute decision-making problem. This paper develops a framework to solve multi-attribute group decision-making problems, where attribute evalu...

the linear system of equations ax = b where a = [aij ] in cn.n is a crispsingular matrix and the right-hand side is a fuzzy vector is called a singularfuzzy linear system of equations. in this paper, solving singular fuzzy linearsystems of equations using generalized inverses such as drazin inverse andpseudo-inverse are investigated.

This paper presents a simulation study on Fuzzy Markov chains to identify some characteristics about their behavior, based on matrix analysis. Through experimental evidence it is observed that most of fuzzy Markov chains does not have an ergodic behavior. So, several sizes of Markov chains are simulated and some statistics are collected. Two methods for obtaining the Stationary Distribution of ...

This paper proposes a technique for solving a Fuzzy Linear Programming Problem(FLPP) when some of its constraints are fuzzy homogeneous. Using these fuzzy homogeneous constraints a fuzzy transformation matrix is constructed. This fuzzy transformation matrix transforms the given problem in to another FLPP with fewer fuzzy constraints. A relationship between these two problems, which ensures that...

In this paper, we study I-fuzzy bi-matrix games with I-fuzzy goals. The indeterminacy factor in the I-fuzzy goal of each player is resolved using the Hurwicz optimism-pessimism rule. As a result, such an I-fuzzy bi-matrix game reduces to solving a fuzzy optimization problem with S-shaped membership functions. The latter problem is equivalently converted into its crisp counterpart using the conv...

A wind farm is a collection of wind turbines built in an area to provide electricity. Wind power is a renewable energy resource and an alternative to non-renewable fossil fuels. In this paper impact of wind farms in power system reliability is investigate and a new procedure for reliability assessment of wind farms in HL1 level is proposed. In proposed procedure, application of Fuzzy – Markov f...

In this paper, a new soft computing group decision method based on the concept of compromise ratio is introduced for determining decision makers (DMs)' weights through the group decision process under uncertainty. In this method, preferences and judgments of the DMs or experts are expressed by linguistic terms for rating the industrial alternatives among selected criteria as well as the relativ...
