To address uncertainty and hesitation of a real-life problem, interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) have received increasing interest among researchers industrialists. In this paper, we present an advanced illustration IVIFSs using physical distancing during COVID-19 to understand the deep concept IVIFSs. Due special feature IVIFSs, it finds better decision problem having hesitatio...

In this paper we propose a new method for ranking Z- numbers and generalizations. This method is based on the internal structure of the artificial neural network, which suggests that the structure of this network consists of inputs weights and the transfer function linear, nonlinear and sometimes linear and nonlinear. It is shown that the proposed method while possessing the ranking properties ...

abstract in order to study the effects of different irrigation management on water productivity of local, improved and hybrid rice varieties an experiment was carried out on a split plot design with 3 replications. the varieties were splited on 5 irrigation methods (i.e. full irrigation, awd, 5, 8 and 11 day irrigation interval) at rice research institute of iran, rasht during cropping season o...

This paper applies a new multi attribute decision-making (MADM) model to help companies for enterprise resource planning (ERP) selection problem based on Balanced Score Card method. This paper uses three-parameter interval grey numbers which is derived from Grey theory (was proposed by J. Deng). This numbers is used instead of linguistic variables. Beside, a new weighting method that outcomes f...

In this article, we propose a method to deal with incomplete interval-valuedhesitant fuzzy preference relations. For this purpose, an additivetransitivity inspired technique for interval-valued hesitant fuzzypreference relations is formulated which assists in estimating missingpreferences. First of all, we introduce a condition for decision makersproviding incomplete information. Decision maker...

data envelopment analysis provides a theoretical framework for analyzing performance and measuring efficiency. using data envelopment analysis, we can evaluate units and organizations and discuss about their efficiency or inefficiency. in performance assessment of organizations, the most important goal is to rank the units according to their efficiency. since ranking decision making units in da...

Abstract In this paper, we use interval-valued fuzzy numbers to fuzzify the crisp linear programming to three cases. The first case, we use intervalvalued fuzzy numbers to fuzzify the coefficients in the objective function. We get a linear programming in the fuzzy sense. The second case, we use interval-valued fuzzy numbers to fuzzify the coefficients akj in the constraints about xj, j = 1, 2, ...

Almost all activities observed in nowadays applications are correlated with a timing sequence. Users are mainly looking for interesting sequences out of such data. Sequential pattern mining algorithms aim at finding frequent sequences. Usually, the mined activities have timing durations that represent time intervals between their starting and ending points. Most sequential pattern mining approa...

The minimum edge ranking spanning tree problem on graph G is to find a spanning tree T of G such that the minimum edge ranking of T is minimum among all possible spanning trees of G. In this paper, we propose a linear-time algorithm for this problem on interval graphs.
