In group decision making with linguistic information, the decision makers (DMs) usually provide their assessment information by means of linguistic variables. In some situations, however, the DMs may provide fuzzy linguistic information because of time pressure, lack of knowledge, and their limited attention and information processing capabilities. In this paper, we introduce the concepts of tr...

In this study, we introduce the concept of denser property in fuzzy membership function used in neutrosophic sets. We present several new definitions and study their properties. Defuzzification methods over neutrosophic triangular dense xxxx fuzzy sets and neutrosophic triangular intuitionistic dense fuzzy sets are then given. Finally practical applicability of the methods have been discussed w...

It has become increasingly well realized that laboratory simulations of air pollution risk assessment need to employ O(3) concentration profiles that more accurately mimic those encountered during summer daylight ambient air pollution episodes. The present study was designed to compare the pulmonary function and symptoms of breathing discomfort responses to a 6.6-h square-wave 0.08-ppm O(3) cha...

We compute in small temperature expansion the two-loop renormalization constants and the three-loop coefficient of the β-function, that is the first non-universal term, for the σ-model with O(N) invariance on the triangular lattice at N = −1. The partition function of the corresponding Grassmann theory is, for negative temperature, the generating function of unrooted forests on such a lattice, ...

Be my guest: The function of a system based on self-assembled Zn(II) complexes can be controlled by external chemical stimuli. The complexes are based on a C3 -symmetric ligand that forms a unique triangular triple helicate structure 1. Upon subcomponent substitution, 1 is able to transform into a triangular double helicate 2 which, unlike 1, can encapsulate guests.

This paper presents new results concerning the effective practical computation of the membership function of the infinite sum (defined via the supHamacher-norm convolution) of triangular fuzzy numbers. Namely, we shall calculate the limit distribution of the Hγ-sum ã1 ⊕ ã2 ⊕ · · · ⊕ ãn ⊕ · · · of triangular fuzzy numbers ãi, i ∈ N, for γ = 0, 1, 2.

This study has developed a production inventory model where the cycle timeis fuzzy, the existence of defective products is assumed in each batch andproduct screening is performed both in-production and after-production.Triangular fuzzy numbers serve to model uncertainties in the cycle time, anda fuzzified total inventory profit function is created by thedefuzzifica...

DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) is a technique for evaluating the relative effectiveness of decision-making units (DMU) with multiple inputs and outputs data based on non-parametric modeling using mathematical programming (including linear programming, multi-parameter programming, stochastic programming, etc.). The classical DEA methods are developed to handle the information in the form of cri...

The spatial interpolation of property fields in 3D, such as the temperature, salinity, and organic content of ocean water, is an active area of research in the applied geosciences. Conventional interpolation methods have not adequately addressed anisotropy in these data. Thus, in our research we considered two interpolation methods based on a triangular prism volume element, as a triangular pri...
