Supplier selection is one the main concern in the context of supply chain networks by considering their global and competitive features. Resilient supplier selection as generally new idea has not been addressed properly in the literature under uncertain conditions. Therefore, in this paper, a new multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) model is introduced with interval-valued fuzzy sets (I...

The fuzzy entropy h(T) of a dynamical system has been introduced in [5] (see also [1, 3, 8, 10]). Generalizing the notion of a fuzzy partition Mesiar and Rybarik have studied the p-entropy (see [7, 10, 11]) based on the Pap y-calculus ([9]). The notion is based on an increasing bijective function g : [0,oo] —> [0, oo], such that #(0) = 0 and #(1) = 1. The choice g(x) = x leads to the fuzzy entr...

Several types of entropy of fuzzy variables or fuzzy sets have been given in the literature in order to measure the degree of uncertainty. In order to measure the degree of uncertainty of fuzzy vectors, a new definition of entropy of fuzzy vectors is proposed. Some properties are then investigated and the relations between the entropy of fuzzy variables and fuzzy vectors are discussed.

The inductive learning methodology known as decision trees, concerns the ability to classify objects based on their attributes values, using a tree like structure from which decision rules can be accrued. In this article, a description of decision trees is given, with the main emphasis on their operation in a fuzzy environment. A first reference to decision trees is made in Hunt et al. (1966), ...

Fuzzy extractors (Dodis et al., Eurocrypt 2004) convert repeated noisy readings of a high-entropy secret into the same uniformly distributed key. A minimum condition for the security of the key is the hardness of guessing a value that is similar to the secret, because the fuzzy extractor converts such a guess to the key. We define fuzzy min-entropy to quantify this property of a noisy source of...

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems for for evaluating the computer network security with interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy information. To determine the attribute weights, a model based on the information entropy, by which the attribute weights can be determined, is established. We utilize the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy weighted ave...

Combined heat and power (CHP) or cogeneration can play a strategic role in addressing environmental issues and climate change. CHP systems require less fuel than separate heat and power systems in order to produce the same amount of energy saving primary energy, improving the security of the supply. Because less fuel is combusted, greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants are reduced. I...

Double Refined IndeterminacyNeutrosophic Set (DRINS) is an inclusive case of the refined neutrosophic set, defined by Smarandache [1], which provides the additional possibility to represent with sensitivity and accuracy the uncertain, imprecise, incomplete, and inconsistent information which are available in real world. More precision is provided in handling indeterminacy; by classifying indete...

Yager’s entropy was proposed to compute the information of fuzzy indiscernibility relation. In this paper we present a novel interpretation of Yager’s entropy in discernibility power of a relation point of view. Then some basic definitions in Shannon’s information theory are generalized based on Yager’s entropy. We introduce joint entropy, conditional entropy, mutual information and relative en...
