in some quality control applications, the quality of a process or a product is described by the relationship between a response variable and one or more explanatory variables, called a profile. moreover, in most practical applications, the qualitative characteristic of a product/service is vague, uncertain and linguistic and cannot be precisely stated. the purpose of this paper is to propose a ...

This paper analyses Rawls’s celebrated di¤erence principle, and its lexicographic extension, in societies with a …nite and an in…nite number of agents. A uni…ed framework of analysis is set up, which allows one to characterise Rawlsian egalitarian principles by means of a weaker version of a new axiom the Harm Principle recently proposed by [13]. This is quite surprising, because the Harm princ...

In this paper, we investigate the fuzzy logic based system characteristics of MX/G/1 retrial queuing system with Bernoulli vacation schedule. The service time and vacation time are assumed to be generally distributed. It is found in many practical situations that the queuing models with fuzzy parameters are much more realistic than the classical crisp parameters based queuing models. We have...

Dynamic behavior of a circular shaft with geometrical nonlinearity and constant spin, subjected to periodic axial load is investigated. The case of parametric combination resonance is studied. Extension of shaft center line is the source of nonlinearity. The shaft has gyroscopic effect and rotary inertia but shear deformation is neglected. The equations of motion are derived by extended Hamilto...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of fuzzy obstinate ideals in MV -algebras. Some properties of fuzzy obstinateideals are given. Not only we give some characterizations of fuzzy obstinate ideals, but also bring the extension theorem of fuzzy obstinate ideal of an MV -algebra A. We investigate the relationships between fuzzy obstinate ideals and the other fuzzy ideals of an MV -algebra. We ...

The Maximality Principle mp is a scheme which states that if a sentence of the language of zfc is true in some forcing extension V , and remains true in any further forcing extension of V , then it is true in all forcing extensions of V . A modified maximality principle mpΓ arises when considering forcing with a particular class Γ of forcing notions. A parametrized form of such a principle, mpΓ...

The weakly compact reflection principle Reflwcpκq states that κ is a weakly compact cardinal and every weakly compact subset of κ has a weakly compact proper initial segment. The weakly compact reflection principle at κ implies that κ is an ω-weakly compact cardinal. In this article we show that the weakly compact reflection principle does not imply that κ is pω ` 1qweakly compact. Moreover, we...
