Although the classical dividend discount model (DDM) is a wellknown and widely used model in evaluating the intrinsic price of common stock, the practical pattern of dividends, required rate of return or growth rate of dividend do not generally coincide with any of the model’s assumptions. It is just the opportunity to develop a fuzzy logic system that takes these vague parameters into account....

The Rand index is a measure commonly used to compare crisp partitions. Campello (2007) and Hüllermeier and Rifqi (2009) respectively, proposed two extensions of this index capable to compare fuzzy partitions. These approaches are useful when continuous values of attributes are discretized using fuzzy sets. In previous works we experimented with these extensions and compared their accuracy with ...

Linear programming (LP) is an optimisation technique most widely used for optimal allocation of limited resources amongst competing activities. Precise data are fundamentally indispensable in standard LP problems. However, the observed values of the data in real-world problems are often imprecise or vague. Fuzzy set theory has been extensively used to represent A fuzzy LP model with fuzzy param...

in most of the real-life applications we deal with the problem of transporting some special fruits, as banana, which has particular production and distribution processes. in this paper we restrict our attention to formulating and solving a new bi-criterion problem on a network in which in addition to minimizing the traversing costs, admissibility of the quality level of fruits is a main objecti...

Neutrosopic sets were introduced by Smarandache [2] which are the generalization of fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy sets. The Neutrosophic sets have many applications in medical, management sciences, life sciences and engineering, graph theory, robotics, automata theory and computer science. The single valued neutrosophic graphs were introduced by Broumi, Talea, Bakali and Smarandache [5]. ...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a linear programming based methodology to determine the relative performance efficiencies of homogeneous decision making units (DMUs). In real world applications, some input and output datas do not possess crisp/fuzzy essence but they possess intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) essence. So, in this study, we develop an IF BCC (IFBCC) and an IF super efficiency BCC (IFSE...

In this paper, the researchers proposed a new method to rank fuzzy numbers by median value of fuzzy numbers. The median value can be used as a crisp approximation with respect to a fuzzy quantity. Therefore, a method for ordering the fuzzy numbers is defined accordingly. This method can effectively rank various fuzzy numbers, their images and overcome the shortcomings of the previous techniques.

process capability indices (pcis) can be used as an effective tool for measuring product quality and process performance. in classic quality control there are some limitations which prevent a deep and flexible analysis because of the crisp definition of pca‟s parameters. fuzzy set theory can be used to add more flexibility to process capability analyses. in this study, the fuzzy x ba and mrx ba...
