In the recent years, new techniques such as; artificial neural networks and fuzzy inference systems were employed for developing of the predictive models to estimate the needed parameters. Soft computing techniques are now being used as alternate statistical tool. Determination of swell potential of soil is difficult, expensive, time consuming and involves destructive tests. In this paper, use ...

In this article, we describe the fuzzy logic, fuzzy language and algorithms as the basis of fuzzy reasoning, one of the intelligent information processing method, and then describe the general fuzzy reasoning method.

On the basis of the combination of single-valued neutrosophic sets and hesitant fuzzy sets, this article proposes a single-valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy set (SVNHFS) as a further generalization of the concepts of fuzzy set, intuitionistic fuzzy set, single-valued neutrosophic set, hesitant fuzzy set, and dual hesitant fuzzy set. Then, we introduce the basic operational relations and cosine...

In this paper, we generalize the concept of sensitivity analysis in fuzzy number linear programming (FLNP) problems by applying fuzzy simplex algorithms and using the general linear ranking functions on fuzzy numbers. The purpose of sensitivity analysis is to determine changes in the optimal solution of FNLP problem resulting from changes in the data. If the change affects the optimality of the...

the ecological potential assessment of forest sites introduces an index or indices that show the potential of forest site for fulfillment of special different roles of forest. khanikan forest at chalous needs precise investigation for assessment as indicator of lowland forests in forest ecosystems of northern iranwith considering its location position in caspian lowland and different values. th...

in this paper, countable compactness and the lindel¨of propertyare defined for l-fuzzy sets, where l is a complete de morgan algebra. theydon’t rely on the structure of the basis lattice l and no distributivity is requiredin l. a fuzzy compact l-set is countably compact and has the lindel¨ofproperty. an l-set having the lindel¨of property is countably compact if andonly if it is fuzzy compact. ...

logistics outsourcing has been at the top of the management agenda during recent decades. the selection of the proper service supplier is the key to success in logistic outsourcing firms could select the right supplier by applying appropriate methods and selection criteria. in this paper a new framework is proposed on the basis of weighted additive fuzzy programming approach and linear programm...

This paper presents a novel QoS support approach for mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). The fuzzy logic is used for QoS management in two phases, first for traffic rate controlling, and then for packet accepting controlling. After using fuzzy logic we used Radial Basis Function Neural Networks (RBFNN), for QoS management. The results show that our new management methods (RBFNN QoS management) not ...

Six variants of self-adapting genetic algorithms with varying mutation, crossover, and selection were developed. To implement selfadaptation the main part of a chromosome which comprised the solution was extended to include mutation rates, crossover rates, and/or tournament size. The solution part comprised the representation of a fuzzy system and was real-coded whereas to implement the propose...
