The convergent optimization via most promising area stochastic search (COMPASS) algorithm is a locally convergent randomsearch algorithm for solving discrete optimization via simulation problems. COMPASS has drawn a significant amount of attention since its introduction. While the asymptotic convergence of COMPASS does not depend on the problem dimension, the finite-time performance of the algo...

Structural performance is affected by deterioration processes and external loads. Both effects may change over time, posing a challenge for conducting reliability analysis. In such context, this contribution aims at assessing the of structures where some its parameters are modeled as random variables, possibly including processes, which subjected to stochastic load processes. The approach devel...

Due to fluctuation of the market and several other reasons, most parameters related production inventory system, like, deterioration rate, demand rate different costs are not always constants. These involve some sorts impreciseness which may be represented by stochastic, fuzzy, fuzzy-stochastic, interval, intuitionistic neutrosophic etc. approaches. In this work, a green model is formulated for...

it is known that a stochastic dierential equation (sde) induces two probabilisticobjects, namely a diusion process and a stochastic ow. while the diusion process isdetermined by the in nitesimal mean and variance given by the coecients of the sde,this is not the case for the stochastic ow induced by the sde. in order to characterize thestochastic ow uniquely the in nitesimal covariance give...

abstract seed deterioration of seed is one of the most important limiting or even hindering factors in germination. the main purpose of this study was to determine the effects of salicylic acid and gibberellic acid hormonal on improvement and prevailing seed deterioration in two sesame cultivars. this studywere carried out at the department of agronomy and plant breeding seed laboratories of co...

Abstract Extended gamma processes have been seen as a flexible extension of standard in the recent reliability literature, for purpose cumulative deterioration modeling. The probabilistic properties process well explored since 1970s, whereas those its remain largely unexplored. In particular, stochastic comparisons between degradation levels modeled by and ageing corresponding level-crossing ti...

For obstacle avoidance against randomly moving traffic participants, stochastic model predictive control is promising. In crowded environments, however, feasible trajectories satisfying chance constraints do not necessarily exist; crowding induces a relaxation of that causes deterioration safety. To address this issue, we developed velocity method decelerates the ego vehicle to speed satisfies ...
