Our goal in this work is to develop analytical tools to support the definition of balanced and compatible sets of vehicle specifications in the early stages of vehicle development. In this paper, we discuss the development and application of a Technical Feasibility Model (TFM) that may be used in preliminary design to assess the technical feasibility and optimality of specified combinations of ...

This paper aims to find the efficient state of hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) by simultaneous optimization of the control strategy and the power train. The power transmission employed in this vehicle is a power-split continuously variable transmission (CVT) which uses several fixed ratio mechanisms. After describing this transmission, the rules of electric assist control strategy are introduced....

Fritz John and Kuhn-Tucker type necessary optimality conditions for a Pareto optimal (efficient) solution of a multiobjective control problem are obtained by first reducing the multiobjective control problem to a system of single objective control problems, and then using already established optimality conditions. As an application of Kuhn-Tucker type optimality conditions, Wolfe and Mond-Weir ...

In this paper, we formulate the problem of trusted routing as a transaction of services over a complex networked environment. We present definitions from service-oriented environments which unambiguously capture the difference between trust and reputation relations. We show that the trustworthiness measures associated with these relations have a linear order embedded in them. Identifying this o...

For classical marriage markets with equal numbers of men and women and where all men find all women acceptable and all women find all men acceptable, Sasaki and Toda (1992) characterized the core by same-side anonymity for marriage markets, Pareto optimality, consistency, and converse consistency. Nizamogullari and Özkal-Sanver (2014) generalized this result to the domain of classical marriage ...

53 notions has significance as an alternative method to value-based decisions. In fact, compared to value-based approaches, reason-based approaches have attractive features that they give the way we normally think and talk about choices, the way suited to handle complex and real world decisions, and the way to understand the conflict characterizing the making of decisions, although it has disad...

In this article, we propose a multiple objective optimization based approach for the short term scheduling of batch plants to select superior solutions when compared to the single objective problem. Two alternate approaches to optimality, viz. lexicographic and pareto-optimality based formulations are considered here. We demonstrate the suitability of lexicographic optimization for the case whe...

Rubinstein, Safra and Thomson (1992) introduced the Ordinal Nash Bargaining Solution. They prove that Pareto optimality, ordinal invariance, ordinal symmetry, and IIA characterize this solution. A feature of their work is that attention is restricted to a domain of social choice problems with an infinite set of basic allocations. We introduce an alternative approach to solving finite social cho...

A big open question of algorithmic information theory is the choice of the universal Turing machine (UTM). For Kolmogorov complexity and Solomonoff induction we have invariance theorems: the choice of the UTM changes bounds only by a constant. For the universally intelligent agent AIXI (Hutter, 2005) no invariance theorem is known. Our results are entirely negative: we discuss cases in which un...

The portfolio selection problem (PSP) uses mathematical approaches to model stock exchange investments. Its aim is to find an optimal set of assets to invest on, as well as the optimal investments for each asset. In this paper, a portfolio selection problem (FPSP) with fuzzy objective function coefficient (FPSP) a multiple objective problem including uncertainties is investigated. The FPSP is c...
