The learning system provided by the municipalities is one of the most important motivating factors make citizens to participate in urban management plans such as source separation of wastes. In the past years, Tehran municipality has been focusing on providing different training in waste management and specifically source separation, which has not been able to attract public participation. The ...

Recently, a new model based on Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS) has been presented to manage the uncertainty in real-world decision-making problems. PFS has much stronger ability than intuitionistic fuzzy set to model such uncertainty. In this paper, we define some novel operational laws of PFSs and discuss their desirable properties. For the multicriteria decision-making problems with PFSs, we prop...

The purpose of this paper is describes the use of grey pridiction in linear programming problems. Some definitions and concepts of grey system theory are introduced and then, we introduced GM(1,1) and fractional order accumulation into grey model. Due to the fluctuation of prices and the lack of certainty data in the market, optimal production was calculated to optimize the profit from sales us...

We provide a categorized bibliography of metaheuristics for solving the vehicle routing problem and its extensions. The categories are based on various types of metaheuristics and vehicle routing problems

In [4] B. Y. Chen studied warped product CR-submanifolds in Kaehler manifolds. Afterward, I. Hasegawa and I. Mihai [5] obtained a sharp inequality for the squared norm of the second fundamental form for contact CR-warped products in Sasakian space form. Recently Alegre, Blair and Carriago [1] introduced generalized Sasakian space form. The aim of present paper is to study contact CR-warped prod...

the evaluation and selection of recommender systems is a difficult decision making process. this difficulty is partially due to the large diversity of published evaluation criteria in addition to lack of standardized methods of evaluation. as such, a systematic methodology is needed that explicitly considers multiple, possibly conflicting metrics and assists decision makers to evaluate and find...

The present study addresses the following question: if among a group of decision making units, the decision maker is required to increase inputs and outputs to a particular unit in which the DMU, with respect to other DMUs, maintains or improves its current efficiencylevel, how much should the inputs and outputs of the DMU increase? This question is considered as a problem of inverse data envel...

Decision matrix in group decision making problems depends on a lot of criteria. It is essential to know the necessity ofweight or coefficient of each criterion. Accurate and precise selection of weight will help to achieve the intended goal.The aim of this article is to introduce a linear programming model for recognizing the importance of each criterion inmulti criteria group decision making w...
