One of the most complicated decision making problems for managers is the evaluation of bank performance, which involves various criteria. There are many studies about bank efficiency evaluation by network DEA in the literature review. These studies do not focus on multi-level network. Wu (Eur J Oper Res 207:856–864, 2010) proposed a bi-level structure for cost efficiency at the first time. In t...

in this paper we try to introduce a new approach and study the notion of efficiency under a multi objectives linear programming problem in the university by using analysis of hierarchy process (ahp)‎. ‎to this end‎, ‎we first extract some effective parameters due to efficiency offices in university and then prioritized these parameters by the ahp method‎. ‎hence‎, ‎we could classify the most im...

fuzzy linear regression models are used to obtain an appropriate linear relation between a dependent variable and several independent variables in a fuzzy environment. several methods for evaluating fuzzy coefficients in linear regression models have been proposed. the first attempts at estimating the parameters of a fuzzy regression model used mathematical programming methods. in this the...

Classical deterministic inventory models consider the demand rate to be either constant or time-dependent but independent from the stock status. However, for a certain type of inventory, the demand rate may be in-fluenced by the stock level. Also in many real-life problems, some products such as fruits, vegetables, phar-maceuticals and volatile liquids continuously deteriorate to evaporation, o...

decisions relating to most irrigation-planning problems need to be made in the face of hydrologic uncertainties, which make the irrigation-planning problem more complex. the uncertainties can be tackled by formulating the problem as fuzzy linear programming (flp). in the present study, single objective fuzzy linear programming (soflp) irrigation planning model was formulated for deriving the op...

Budget constraints arise in many computer vision problems. Computational costs limit many automated recognition systems while crowdsourced systems are hindered by monetary costs. We leverage wide variability in image complexity and learn adaptive model selection policies. Our learnt policy maximizes performance under average budget constraints by selecting “cheap” models for low complexity inst...

in this paper, a new method is proposed to find the fuzzy optimal solution of fully fuzzy linear programming (abbreviated to fflp) problems. also, we employ linear programming (lp) with equality constraints to find a nonegative fuzzy number vector x which satisfies ax =b, where a is a fuzzy number matrix. then we investigate the existence of a positive solution of fully fuzzy linear system (ffls).
