Adaptive genetic algorithms dynamically adjust the genetic algorithm connguration during the course of evolving a problem solution in order to ooer an appropriate balance between exploration (overall search in the solution space) and exploitation (localized search in the promising regions discovered in that space). One promising way followed for building adaptive genetic algorithms involves the...

Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) are widely used to handle uncertainty and imprecision in decision making. However, in more complicated environment, it is difficult to express the uncertain information by an IVIFS with considering the decision-making preference. Hence, this paper proposes a group generalized interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy soft set (G-GIVIFSS) which conta...

Nowadays, customer expectations are increasing and organizations are prone to operate in an uncertain environment. Under this uncertain environment, the ultimate success of the firm depends on its ability to integrate business processes among supply chain partners. Supply chain management emphasizes cross-functional links to improve the competitive strategy of organizations. Now, companies are ...

Fuzzy multiple criteria decision making (FMCDM) problem is an important issue in the field of decision making. Traditional weighted method is on the basis of disputed arithmetic operation and comparison operation on fuzzy numbers, the accuracy of decision is doubtful. In this paper, a new method is proposed to solve the FMCDM problem based on the generalized fuzzy numbers and power average oper...

This paper presents a new genetic operator called adaptive operator to improve local portions of chromosomes. This new operator is implemented into PseudoBacterial Genetic Algorithm (PBGA). The PBGA was proposed by the authors as a new approach combining a genetic algorithm (GA) with a local improvement mechanism inspired by a process in bacterial genetics. The PBGA was applied for the acquisit...

In this paper we present a new class of operators based on Trapezoid Fuzzy numbers such as Trapezoid Fuzzy Prioritized Weighted Mean (TFPWM) operator, Trapezoid Fuzzy Prioritized Weighted Geometric Average (TFPWG), Trapezoid Fuzzy Prioritized Weighted Harmonic Average(TFPWH) operators to solve multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems. Unlike other (MAGDM) techniques here the at...

This paper reviews and compares theories of fuzzy sets and rough sets. Two approaches for the formulation of fuzzy sets are reviewed, one is based on many-valued logic and the other is based on modal logic. Two views of rough sets are presented, set-oriented view and operator-oriented view. Rough sets under set-oriented view are closely related to fuzzy sets, which leads to non-truth-functional...

With respect to multiple attribute decision making problem with triangular fuzzy linguistic information, in which the attribute weights and expert weights take the form of real numbers, and the preference values take the form of triangular fuzzy linguistic variables, a operator for aggregating triangular fuzzy linguistic variables, such as the fuzzy linguistic weighted harmonic mean (FLWHM) ope...

In this paper, we firstly propose some generalized prioritized aggregation operators to aggregate the intuitionistic fuzzy values (IFVs), such as the generalized intuitionistic fuzzy prioritized weighted geometric (GIFPWG) operator and the generalized intuitionistic fuzzy prioritized weighted average (GIFPWA) operator. It is shown that some existing intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operators ar...

The performance of a genetic algorithm is dependent on the genetic operators, in general, and on the type of crossover operator, in particular. The population diversity is usually used as the performance measure for the premature convergence. In this paper, a fuzzy genetic algorithm is proposed for solving binary encoded combinatorial optimization problems. A new crossover operator and probabil...
