Fuzzy Description Logics (fuzzy DLs) have been proposed as a language to describe structured knowledge with vague concepts. In [23], a solution based on Mixed Integer Linear Programming has been proposed to deal with fuzzy DLs under Łukasiewicz semantics in which typical membership functions, such as triangular and trapezoidal functions, can be explicitly represented in the language. A major th...

According to the need for further cost reduction and improving process of organization in direction customer demand, concept supply chain has become increasingly significant organizations seek expand this within their organizational framework. In regard, efficient planning distribution products by considering disruption received more attention recently. study a multi-objective mixed-integer lin...

This work considers the resolution of the system of fuzzy integer inequalities. It is shown that a system of fuzzy integer inequalities with concave membership functions can be reduced to a regular convex integer programming problem. A modified solution algorithm of the -th power Lagrangian method is introduced to deal with the resulting convex integer programming problem as a sequence of linea...

Multiple Air Vehicles (AVs) to prosecute geographically dispersed targets is an important optimization problem. Associated multiple tasks viz., target classification, attack and verification are successively performed on each target. The optimal minimum time performance of these tasks requires cooperation among vehicles such that critical time constraints are satisfied i.e. target must be class...

This paper presents a novel, multi-objective mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model for a cell formation problem (CFP) with alternative means. Due to existing contradiction among objectives, three are considered: 1) Minimizing the total cost consisting of; intercellular movements, purchasing, operation, and maintenance; 2) maximizing the utilization of machines in the system; 3) mini...

a comprehensive and integrated study of any supply chain (sc) environment is a vital requirement that can create various advantages for the sc owners. this consideration causes productive managing of the sc through its whole wide components from upstream suppliers to downstream retailers and customers.  on this issue, despite many valuable studies reported in the current literature, considerabl...

Selecting an MCDM method to use in any decision-making problem is always a difficult issue regarding that there no agreement generally on which the most appropriate one. This paper addressed proposal of hybrid approach for this problem. Under assumption superiority among well-established and accepted methods, we defined maximin strategy based fact lowest correlation between MCDMs proposed terms...
