In this paper, we propose a method for the extra resource allocation problem based on data envelopment analysis (DEA). Suppose there are some extra resource such as bonus or material benefits, which can be given to all or only a part of decision making units (DMUs), and if we want the allocation to be most beneficial to the whole system, how the extra resource should be distributed. Since the s...

cross efficiency is a method with the idea of peer evaluation instead of self-evaluation, and is used for evaluation and ranking decision making units (dmus) in data envelopment analysis (dea). unlike most existing dea ranking models which can only rank a subset of dmus, for example non-efficient or extreme efficient dmus, cross efficiency can rank all dmus, even non-extreme ones. however, sinc...

A two-stage approach was presented to select woody biomass-based biofuel plants using GIS spatial analysis and the multi-criteria analysis ranking algorithm of compromise programming. Site suitability was evaluated to minimize the direct cost for investors and the potential negative environmental impacts. The first step was to create a site suitability index using a linear fuzzy logic predictio...

A ranking method assigns to every weighted directed graph a (weak) ordering of the nodes. In this paper we axiomatize the ranking method that ranks the nodes according to their outflow using four independent axioms. This outflow ranking method generalizes the ranking by outdegree for directed graphs. Furthermore, we compare our axioms with other axioms discussed in the literature.

‎Ranking fuzzy numbers is generalization of the concepts of order, and class, and so have fundamental applications. Moreover, deriving the final efficiency and powerful ranking are helpful to decision makers when solving fuzzy problems. Selecting a good ranking method can apply to choosing a desired criterion in a fuzzy environment. There are numerous methods proposed for the ranking of fuzzy n...
