Cross efficiency is one of the useful methods for ranking of decision making units (DMUs) in data envelopment analysis (DEA). Since the optimal solutions of inputs and outputs weights are not unique so the selection of them are not simple and the ranks of DMUs can be changed by the difference weights. Thus, in this paper, we introduce a method for ranking of DMUs which does not have a unique pr...

In many managerial applications, situations frequently occur when a fixed cost is used in constructing the common platform of an organization, and needs to be shared by all related entities, or decision making units (DMUs). It is of vital importance to allocate such a cost across DMUs where there is competition for resources. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been successfully used in cost an...

Ranking decision making units (DMUs) is one of the most important applications of data envelopment analysis (DEA). In this paper, we exploit the power of individual appreciativeness in developing a methodology that combines crossevaluation, preference voting and ordered weighted averaging (OWA). We show that each stage of the proposed methodology enhances discrimination among DMUs while offerin...

In a cross field device[1] such as magnetron or cross field amplifier electrons move in crossed magnetic and electric fields. Due to synchronism between electron drift velocity and phase velocity of RF wave, the wave bunches the beam, electron spokes are formed and the bunched electrons are decelerated by the RF field. Such devices have high efficiency (up to 90%), high output power and relativ...
