The capacity (state of charge/SoC) and voltage of lithium-ion batteries are of prime importance in electric vehicles, so their condition-monitoring techniques are extensively studied. This paper focuses on the application of the grey system theory to the parameters analyzing and predicting behavior during the discharge/charge cycles of the battery. Firstly, Grey Relation Analysis (GRA) is appli...

The article uses fuzzy TOPSIS multi-methodological approach in the Turkish domestic airline industry. It starts by describing exceedingly complex nature of competition in the sector. Then, it deals with the constituent parts of the research methodology and the eclectic approach itself. The implementation of fuzzy TOPSIS method in the Turkish domestic airline industry reveals the ranking of majo...

Contractor selection is one of the most important aspects in construction contract. This paper suggests importance of various multi criteria decision making models for contractor selection problem in Indian context. The study includes identifying the different criteria for bid evaluation and the means by which different decision making models may be used to evaluate the contractors with respect...

An Improvement of Extend TOPSIS (IE-TOPSIS) method is presented for Armament System of Systems (ASoS) selection. In this paper, ASoS selection problem is a multiple criteria decision-making problem. Because determining the specific value of the attribute for each ASoS is difficult, the criteria score is considered as interval vague value. The IETOPSIS method can deal with the interval data valu...

This study simplifies the complicated metric distance method [L.S. Chen, C.H. Cheng, Selecting IS personnel using ranking fuzzy number by metric distance method, Eur. J. Operational Res. 160 (3) 2005 803–820], and proposes an algorithm to modify Chen’s Fuzzy TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) [C.T. Chen, Extensions of the TOPSIS for group decision-making und...

The hit-or-miss transform (HMT) is a fundamental operation on binary images, widely used since 40 years. As it is not increasing, its extension to grey-level images is not straightforward, and very few authors have considered it. Moreover, despite its potential usefulness, very few applications of the grey-level HMT have been proposed until now. Part I of this paper, developed hereafter, is dev...

Grey theory is one of the new mathematical theories born out of the concept of the grey set. It is an effective method used to solve uncertainty problems with discrete data and incomplete information. In this paper, an improved grey GM (1, 1) model, using a technique that combines residual modification with the Markov chain model, is proposed. This paper employs the annual supply value of Taiwa...

TOPSIS is a multiple criteria method to identify solutions from a finite set of alternatives based upon simultaneous minimization of distance from an ideal point and maximization of distance from a nadir point. TOPSIS can incorporate relative weights of criterion importance. This paper reviews several applications of TOPSIS using different weighting schemes and different distance metrics, and c...
