Effective Topological Degree Computation Based on Interval Arithmetic

Arithmetic Aggregation Operators for Interval-valued Intuitionistic Linguistic Variables and Application to Multi-attribute Group Decision Making

The intuitionistic linguistic set (ILS) is an extension of linguisitc variable. To overcome the drawback of using single real number to represent membership degree and non-membership degree for ILS, the concept of interval-valued intuitionistic linguistic set (IVILS) is introduced through representing the membership degree and non-membership degree with intervals for ILS in this paper. The oper...

A reliable algorithm for computing the topological degree of a mapping in R2

In this paper, we present a method to reliably compute the topological degree of a mapping in the plane, over a simple closed polygon. The method is based on Henrici’s argument principle, and computes the degree using the winding number concept in range arithmetic. The algorithm is then applied to the root computation of a univariate polynomial. The proposed algorithms are demonstrated with exa...

Interval MULTIMOORA method with target values of attributes based on interval distance and preference degree: biomaterials selection

A target-based MADM method covers beneficial and non-beneficial attributes besides target values for some attributes. Such techniques are considered as the comprehensive forms of MADM approaches. Target-based MADM methods can also be used in traditional decision-making problems in which beneficial and non-beneficial attributes only exist. In many practical selection problems, some attributes ha...

Exact soultion of full interval linear equation AX=B based on Kaucher arithmetic

Interval Methods for Rigorous Investigations of periodic orbits

In this paper, we investigate the possibility of using interval arithmetic for rigorous investigations of periodic orbits in discrete-time dynamical systems with special emphasis on chaotic systems. We show that methods based on interval arithmetic when implemented properly are capable of finding all period-n cycles for considerable large n. We compare several interval methods for finding perio...
