Cell-based Multicriteria Evaluation (MCE) methods are used to analyse the land suitability evaluation. Land evaluation is carried out to estimate the suitability of land for a specific use such as arable farming or irrigated agriculture. land suitability evaluation is a prerequisite for land-use planning and development (Sys 1985; Van Ranst and others 1996). It provides information on the const...

Although medical waste usually accounts for a small fraction of urban municipal waste, its proper disposal has been a challenging issue as it often contains infectious, radioactive, or hazardous waste. This article proposes a two-level hierarchical multicriteria decision model to address medical waste disposal method selection (MWDMS), where disposal methods are assessed against different crite...

Neutrosophic set is a powerful general formal framework, which generalizes the concept of the classic set, fuzzy set, interval valued fuzzy set, intuitionistic fuzzy set, and interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set from philosophical point of view. However, it will be difficult to apply in real science and engineering areas, while a simplified neutrosophic set (SNS) is a subclass of a neutroso...

Forest fires are one of the major causes of ecological disturbance and environmental concerns in tropical deciduous forests of south India. In this study, we use fuzzy set theory integrated with decision-making algorithm in a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) framework to map forest fire risk. Fuzzy set theory implements classes or groupings of data with boundaries that are not sharply defin...

We characterize the position value for TU games with a cooperation structure in terms of the Myerson value of some natural modification of the original game–the link agent form. This construction is extended to TU games with a conference structure. Journal of Economic Literature Classification Number: C71.

A TU-game in characteristic function form generates a unique minimal dominant set. This set is non-empty. For a game with a non-empty core, the core and the minimal dominant set coincide; in this case the core is the smallest (for inclusion) set of outcomes that satisfies accessibility. For an abstract game, the minimal dominant set and Shenoy’s dynamic solution coincide.

Numerous applications in 3D underwater sensor networks (UWSNs), such as pollution detection, disaster prevention, animal monitoring, navigation assistance, and submarines tracking, heavily rely on accurate localization techniques. However, due to the limited batteries of nodes difficulty for energy harvesting UWSNs, it is challenging localize successfully within a short node lifetime an unspeci...

In June 2011 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that video games enjoy full free speech protections and that the regulation of violent game sales to minors is unconstitutional. The Supreme Court also referred to psychological research on violent video games as "unpersuasive" and noted that such research contains many methodological flaws. Recent reviews in many scholarly journals have come to similar...

The main objective of the paper is to study the locus of all core selection and aggregate monotonic point solutions of a TU-game: the aggregate-monotonic core. Furthermore, we characterize the class of games for which the core and the aggregate-monotonic core coincide. Finally, we introduce a new family of rules for TU-games which satisfy core selection and aggregate monotonicity.

In this paper, we consider a two persons zero sum game with imprecise values in payoff matrix. All the imprecise values are assumed to be octagonal fuzzy numbers. An approach for solving problems by using ranking of the fuzzy numbers has been considered to solve the fuzzy game problem. By using ranking to the payoffs we convert the fuzzy valued game problem to crisp valued game problem, which c...
