In this study, we propose a three-stage weighted sum method for identifying the group ranks of alternatives. In the first stage, a rank matrix, similar to the cross-efficiency matrix, is obtained by computing the individual rank position of each alternative based on importance weights. In the second stage, a secondary goal is defined to limit the vector of weights since the vector of weights ob...

let g be a simple connected graph and {v1, v2, …, vk} be the set of pendent (vertices ofdegree one) vertices of g. the reduced distance matrix of g is a square matrix whose (i,j)–entry is the topological distance between vi and vj of g. in this paper, we obtain the spectrumof the reduced distance matrix of thorn graph of g, a graph which obtained by attaching somenew vertices to pendent vertice...

it is necessary to generate the automorphism group of a chemical graph in computer-aidedstructure elucidation. an euclidean graph associated with a molecule is defined by a weightedgraph with adjacency matrix m = [dij], where for i≠j, dij is the euclidean distance between thenuclei i and j. in this matrix dii can be taken as zero if all the nuclei are equivalent. otherwise,one may introduce dif...

A $it{weighted~slant~Toep}$-$it{Hank}$ operator $L_{phi}^{beta}$ with symbol $phiin L^{infty}(beta)$ is an operator on $L^2(beta)$ whose representing matrix consists of all even (odd) columns from a weighted slant Hankel (slant weighted Toeplitz) matrix, $beta={beta_n}_{nin mathbb{Z}}$ be a sequence of positive numbers with $beta_0=1$. A matrix characterization for an operator to be $it{weighte...

Let G be a simple connected graph and {v_1,v_2,..., v_k} be the set of pendent (vertices of degree one) vertices of G. The reduced distance matrix of G is a square matrix whose (i,j)-entry is the topological distance between v_i and v_j of G. In this paper, we compute the spectrum of the reduced distance matrix of the generalized Bethe trees.

BACKGROUND When modelling infectious diseases, accurately capturing the pattern of dissemination through space is key to providing optimal recommendations for control. Mathematical models of disease spread in livestock, such as for foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), have done this by incorporating a transmission kernel which describes the decay in transmission rate with increasing Euclidean distance...

given four complex matrices a, b, c and d where a 2 cnn and d 2 cmm andlet the matrix(a bc d)be a normal matrix and assume that  is a given complex number that is not eigenvalue of matrix a. we present a method to calculate the distance norm (with respect to 2-norm) from d to the set of matrices x 2 cmm such that,  be a multiple eigenvalue of matrix(a bc x). we also nd the nearest matrix ...

Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) can effectively contribute to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in all economic, social, and environmental dimensions, along with peace security. Studying ICH Indonesia cannot be separated from the spatial aspect of how an area's attributes are related other areas located close each other. Spatial regression modeling needs done by considering selection weig...

consider an n × n matrix polynomial p(λ). a spectral norm distance from p(λ) to the set of n × n matrix polynomials that havea given scalar µ ∈ c as a multiple eigenvalue was introducedand obtained by papathanasiou and psarrakos. they computedlower and upper bounds for this distance, constructing an associated perturbation of p(λ). in this paper, we extend this resultto the case of two given di...
