the problem we investigate deals with the optimal assignment of resources to the activities of a stochastic project network. we seek to minimize the expected cost of the project include sum of resource utilization costs and lateness costs. we assume that the work content required by the activities follows an exponential distribution. the decision variables of the model are the allocated resourc...

This paper is concerned with delay-dependent exponential stability analysis and stabilization for continuous-time T-S fuzzy Markovian jump systems with mode-dependent time-varying delay. By constructing a novel Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and utilizing some advanced techniques, less conservative conditions are presented to guarantee the closed-loop system is mean-square exponentially stable....

Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RSs) are material handling systems that are frequently used in manufacturing and distribution centers. The modelling of the retrieval–travel time of an AS/RS (expected product delivery time) is practically important, because it allows us to evaluate and improve the system throughput. The free-fall-flow-rack AS/RS has emerged as a new technology for dr...

the main goal of the present paper is to extend classical results from the measure theory and dynamical systems to the fuzzy subset setting. in this paper, the notion of  dynamic equivalence relation is introduced and then it is proved that this relation is an equivalence relation. also, a new metric on the collection of all equivalence classes is introduced and it is proved that this metric is...

it is difficult to prevent accidents in the transport of hazardous goods, so the development of strategies for managing crisis situations and the optimization of action plans are important. the crisis situation is a continuous event in time when its evolution is unpredictable because it depends on a whole of complex factors resulting from the environment of the crisis. decision making in crisis...
