Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a nonparametric technique that includes models to evaluate the relative efficiency of Decision Making Units (DMUs). It has the ability to separate efficient units and inefficient units. One of the applications of this mathematical technique is evaluating performance of supply chain. According to such as the inefficiency factors of one DMU, is existence conges...

The purpose of this paper is to construct a weak hyper semi-quantale as a generalization of the concept of semi-quantale and used it as an appropriate hyperlattice-theoretic basis to formulate new lattice-valued topological theories. Based on such weak hyper semi-quantale, we aim to construct the notion of a weak hypervalued-topology as a generalized form of the so-called lattice-valued t...

In this article we will present some problems that have weak symmetries. In contrast to a proper symmetry, a weak symmetry acts only on a subset of the variables and preserves the feasibility state only with respect to a subset of the constraints. Therefore, breaking weak symmetries with standard techniques would lead to a loss of solutions. This article presents also a modelling technique whic...

In this paper, we classify all generalized quadrangles weakly embedded of degree 2 in projective space. More exactly, given a (possibly infinite) generalized quadrangle Γ = (P,L, I ) and a map π from P (respectively L) to the set of points (respectively lines) of a projective space PG(V ), V a vector space over some skew field (not necessarily finite-dimensional), such that: (i) π is injective ...

Networked Infrastructure systems deliver services and/or products from point to point along the network. Demand for the services provided by such systems is typically cyclic, creating inefficiencies in capacity utilization. Congestion pricing provides incentives to shift demand from peak time periods to lower demand periods. This effectively increases the capacity of the system without the need...

The purpose of this document is to describe a general architecture for flow admission and termination based on aggregated (pre-) congestion information in order to protect the quality of service of established inelastic flows within a single DiffServ domain. Status Table of

In recent years, the assessment of environmental performance has been received considerable attention by environmental policy indicators and decision makers. In this regard, this paper applies data envelopment analysis (DEA) as a management tool for evaluating the environmental performance of the firms and uses the extended bounded adjusted measure (extended BAM) for including undesirable outpu...

Active Queue Management (AQM) plays an important role in the Internet congestion control. It tries to enhance congestion control, and to achieve tradeoff between bottleneck utilization and delay. Random Early Detection (RED) is the most popular active queue management algorithm that has been implemented in the in Internet routers and is trying to supply low delay and low packet loss. RED al...
