the paper presents the semi-numerical solution for the magnetohydrodynamic (mhd) viscous flow due to a stretching sheet caused by boundary layer of an incompressible viscous flow. the governing partial differential equations of momentum equations are reduced into a nonlinear ordinary differential equation (node) by using a classical similarity transformation along with appropriate boundary cond...

The objective of this paper is to present a technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) algorithm to linear fractional bi-level multi-objective decision-making problem. TOPSIS is used to yield most appropriate alternative from a finite set of alternatives based upon simultaneous shortest distance from positive ideal solution (PIS) and furthest distance from negative ...

We examine numerically the issue of convergence for initial-value solutions and similarity solutions of the compressible Euler equations in two dimensions in the presence of vortex sheets ~slip lines!. We consider the problem of a normal shock wave impacting an inclined density discontinuity in the presence of a solid boundary. Two solution techniques are examined: the first solves the Euler eq...

There are abundant scenarios for applications of similarity search in databases where the similarity of objects is defined for a subset of attributes, i.e., in a subspace, only. While much research has been done in efficient support of single column similarity queries or of similarity queries in the full space, scarcely any support of similarity search in subspaces has been provided so far. The...

Adoption of conservative agriculture at farm level is associated with reducing the production costs and leads to crop yield stability. The aim of this study was to prioritize experimental treatments based on different criteria by applying "technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution" (TOPSIS).A filed experiment was carried out at Zarghan research station, Fars province, Iran,...

This paper evaluates and ranks the temporal dimensions, known as fourth dimension of urban design, of a number of places in a city by TOPSIS method. TOPSIS method is technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution. TOPSIS is one of the renowned methods for classical multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems that defines the positive ideal solution and negative ideal solution...

Transfer learning is the process of using knowledge gained while solving one problem to solve a new, previously unencountered problem. Current research has concentrated on analogical transfer – a mechanic is able to fix a type of car he has never seen before by comparing it to cars he has fixed before. This approach is typical of case-based reasoning systems and has been successful on a wide va...

The dynamics of capillary pinching of a fluid thread are described by similarity solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations. Eggers @Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 3458 ~1993!# recently proposed a single universal similarity solution for a viscous thread pinching with an inertial–viscous–capillary balance in an inviscid environment. In this paper it is shown that there is actually a countably infinite fami...

We introduce a new solution concept for games in extensive form with perfect information: the valuation equilibrium. The moves of each player are partitioned into similarity classes. A valuation of the player is a real valued function on the set of her similarity classes. At each node a player chooses a move that belongs to a class with maximum valuation. The valuation of each player is consist...

today we are facing with a turbulent world full of complexity and change. contemporary problems are too complicated for rational, logical solutions. they admit insights, not answers. chaos theory is a solution to reveal insights into the structure and the dynamics of complex systems. chaos theory is in formative stage, but we can use it in management practices. this article is about application...
