The concept of grey system theory, which has a certain prediction capability, offers an alternative approach for various kinds of conventional control methods, such as PID control and fuzzy control. For instance, grey PID type fuzzy controller designed in this paper, can predict the future output values of the system accurately. However, the forecasting step-size of the grey controller determin...

This study empirically analyzes model accuracy, and applies grey forecasting to handle non-linear problems, insufficient data resources and forecasting involving small samples, and to construct the co-opetition diffusion model for the Lotka–Volterra (L.V.) system. Furthermore, this study examines historical data comprising revenue trends in the Taiwanese IC assembly industry during the past ten...

Animals often settle near competitors, a behavior known as social attraction, which belies standard habitat selection theory. Two hypotheses account for these observations: individuals obtain Allee benefits mediated by the physical presence of a competitor, or they use successfully settled individual as a source of information indicating the location of high quality habitat. We evaluated these ...

An improved Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) is used to quantitatively investigate the impact of Jiangxi Province regional economy on local logistics demand. The grey characteristics of data from regional economy and logistics is studied, which shows GRA is applicable; then a multi-sequence GRA is proposed, which generates total 4 groups of grey relational sequence from three indices of industria...

Green products can reduce the environmental burden during design and disposal. The most approved technique to evaluate the environmental profile of a green product is the life cycle assessment. Data mining has also been successfully applied in many fields. However, little research has been done in the quality function deployment of mining the dynamic trends of customer requirements and engineer...

Ecological environment quality comprehensive evaluation evaluate different cells’ ecological environment quality, on the basis of region eco-environment investigation , the indexes and math methods selected according to the region, to discover the problems and put forward comprehensive father measures. In electronic government spatial decision-making assistant systems, Estimate the region’s eco...

this study focused on the optimization of al—mg to cuzn34 friction stir lap welding (fslw) process for optimal combination of rotational and traverse speeds in order to yield favorable fracture load using grey relational analysis (gra). first, the degree of freedom was calculated for the system. then, the experiments based on the target values and number of considered levels, corresponding orth...

This paper investigates the intonation development of an infant during the first year. Three stages include the goo stage (2-3 months), the canonical babbling stage (7-9 months), and the variegated babbling stage (10-12 months). Falling contour was found to be the most common intonation at the goo stage. Rising contour was found to be the dominant intonation both at the canonical babbling and t...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce multiattribute decision making based on the concept of interval neutrosophic sets. While the concept of neutrosophic sets is a powerful tool to deal with indeterminate and inconsistent data, the interval neutrosophic set is also a powerful mathematical tool as well as more flexible to deal with incompleteness. The rating of all alternatives is expressed...
