In this paper, we propose a novel method for ranking a set of fuzzy numbers. In this method a preference index is proposed based on $alpha$-optimistic values of a fuzzy number. We propose a new ranking method by adopting a level of credit in the ordering procedure. Then, we investigate some desirable properties of the proposed ranking method.

This paper suggests  a novel approach for ranking the most applicable fuzzy numbers, i.e.  $LR$-fuzzy numbers. Applying the  $alpha$-optimistic values of a fuzzy number, a preference criterion is proposed for ranking fuzzy numbers using the Credibility index. The main properties of the proposed  preference criterion  are also studied.  Moreover, the proposed method is   applied for ranking fuzz...

Over the last decade, methods for multiagent planning under uncertainty have increased in scalability. However, many methods assume value factorization or are not able to provide quality guarantees. We propose a novel family of influence-optimistic upper bounds on the optimal value for problems with 100s of agents that do not exhibit value factorization.

in this paper, it is assumed that the “decision making units“( ) are consist of positive and negative input and output. firstly, the optimistic and pessimistic models have been suggested by using negative data and then units with most productive scale size are measured in optimistic and pessimistic models. these productive values are compared with double frontiers and hurwicz’s criterion to obt...

There are two types of critical values for birandom variable: the optimistic and pessimistic values. In this paper, some theoretical aspects of optimistic and pessimistic values of birandom variable are investigated. Based on the results, some properties of birandom chance-constrained programming models can be further discussed.

In recent years, in various sectors of our society, there have been nationalist stirrings which were crystallized and articulated by the late Claro M. Recto, There were jealous demands for the recognition of Philippine sovereignty on the Bases question. There were appeals for the correction of the iniquitous economic relations between the Philippines and the United States. For a time, Filipino ...

determining the optimal pattern for growing crops in accordance with the availability of the resources and risk factors as well as the uncertainty of agriculture sector would help the farmers, managers and economic planners in selecting the type of the product and the level of cultivation. fuzzy programming model with interval programming approach is used in this study to determine the optimal ...

The relationships between 15 personality traits relevant for personalityhealth research were examined as well as their relationships with five-factor personality traits and two higher order alpha and beta factors. Factor analysis of the 15 healthrelated personality concepts yielded three broad components: Negative affectivity, Optimistic control and Passivity. Results indicate that three health...
