in the last decades an increasing number of clubs, associations, and partnerships behind professional team sports have become business enterprises as well; as regards their income and number of employees, there are numerous companies managing sports clubs in the medium sized enterprise sector. by nature of being businesses that manage sports, successful performance is usually the number one str...

In this paper, we propose a functional approach to overcome the lack of expressiveness of predicative approaches for extensional reference resolution. This later approach indeed forces designers of dialogue systems to use specific heuristics when solving some reference cases, which they can’t integrate in a unified representation framework. As we focus on extensional reference resolution in a g...

we show that the category of convergence approach spaces is a simultaneously reective and coreective subcategory of the category of latticevalued limit spaces. further we study the preservation of diagonal conditions, which characterize approach spaces. it is shown that the category of preapproach spaces is a simultaneously reective and coreective subcategory of the category of lattice-valued p...

In this paper, the fuzzy systems with multiple non-commensurate time delays are considered. First, the observer-based state feedback fuzzy controllers are proposed. Based on the delay-dependent Lyapunov functional approach, the delay-dependent control design method is derived under which the parallel-distributed fuzzy control can stabilize the whole fuzzy time-delay system asymptotically. Final...

In this paper fully fuzzy linear programming (FFLP) problem with both equality and inequality constraints is considered where all the parameters and decision variables are represented by non-negative trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. According to the current approach, the FFLP problem with equality constraints first is converted into a multi–objective linear programming (MOLP) problem with crisp const...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a method to measure relative efficiency of a set of decision-making units (dmus) which uses multiple inputs and produces multiple outputs. in the conventional dea, crisp inputs and outputs are fundamentally necessary. but the observed values of inputs and outputs in real-world problems are sometimes imprecise. thus, performance measurement often needs to be do...

due to the explosive growth of the world-wide web, automatictext summarization has become an essential tool for web users. in this paperwe present a novel approach for creating text summaries. using fuzzy logicand word-net, our model extracts the most relevant sentences from an originaldocument. the approach utilizes fuzzy measures and inference on theextracted textual information from the docu...

background and objectives: evaluating the performance of clinical units is critical for effective managementof health settings. certain assessment of clinical variables for performance analysis is not always possible,calling for use of uncertainty theory. this study aimed to develop and evaluate an integrated independentcomponent analysis-fuzzy-data envelopment analysis approach to accurate the...

This paper investigates the stability analysis of fuzzy relational dynamic systems. A new approach is introduced and a set of sufficient conditions is derived which sustains the unique globally asymptotically stable equilibrium point in a first-order fuzzy relational dynamic system with sumproduct fuzzy composition. This approach is also investigated for other types of fuzzy relational composit...

in this paper, we use parametric form of fuzzy number, then aniterative approach for obtaining approximate solution for a classof nonlinear fuzzy fredholmintegro-differential equation of the second kindis proposed. this paper presents a method based on newton-cotesmethods with positive coefficient. then we obtain approximatesolution of the nonlinear fuzzy integro-differential equations by an it...
