In this paper, the author make use of the newly introduced concept of analytic functions by Kanas and Ronning [7] and apply Aouf et al derivative operator with the technique of Hayami, Owa and Srivastava [17] to define a more larger and generalized class of Bazilevic functions. Characterization and coefficient bounds of this new class of Bazilevic functions are considered. 2000 Mathematics Subj...

Cross-efficiency evaluation is an effective way of ranking decision making units (DMUs) in data envelopment analysis (DEA). Existing approaches for cross-efficiency evaluation are mainly focused on the calculation of cross-efficiency matrix, but pay little attention to the aggregation of the efficiencies in the cross-efficiency matrix.
