this study recommends a gis-based (geographic information systems) and multi-criteria evaluation for site selection of gas power plant in natanz city of iran. the multi-criteria decision framework integrates legal requirements and physical constraints related to environmental and economic concerns. it also builds a hierarchy model for gas power plant suitability. the methodologies used for site...

design and expansion of distribution systems seems inevitable in view of the need to satisfy the rise in energy consumption in a technical and economical way. optimal location, sizing and determining the service area of substations is one of the principle problems in expansion of distribution systems. also uncertainty is one of the important factors that increase risk of exact decision makings....

The paper proposes TOPSIS method for solving multi-objective multi-level programming 13 problem (MO-MLPP) with fuzzy parameters via fuzzy goal programming (FGP). At first, λ cut 14 method is used to transform the fuzzily described MO-MLPP into deterministic MO-MLPP. Then, 15 for specific λ , we construct the membership functions of distance functions from positive ideal 16 solution (PIS) and ne...

in this paper, we introduce a takagi-sugeno (ts) fuzzy model which is derived from a typical multi-layer perceptron neural network (mlp nn). at first, it is shown that the considered mlp nn can be interpreted as a variety of ts fuzzy model. it is discussed that the utilized membership function (mf) in such ts fuzzy model, despite its flexible structure, has some major restrictions. after modify...

in this paper, we introduce and characterize fuzzy wea-kly $e$-closed functions in fuzzy topological spaces and the relationship between these mappings and some properties of them are investigated.

In this paper we tackle the issue of generating Mamdani fuzzy rule-based systems with optimal trade-offs between complexity and accuracy by using a multi-objective genetic algorithm, which concurrently learns rule base, granularity of the input and output partitions and membership function parameters. To this aim, we exploit a chromosome composed of three parts, which codify, respectively, the ...
