Abstract Several applications in medical imaging and non-destructive material testing lead to inverse elliptic coefficient problems, where an unknown function PDE is be determined from partial knowledge of its solutions. This usually a highly non-linear ill-posed problem, for which unique reconstructability results, stability estimates global convergence numerical methods are very hard achieve....

Fuzzy linear programming problem occur in many elds such as mathematical modeling, Control theory and Management sciences, etc. In this paper we focus on a kind of Linear Programming with fuzzy numbers and variables namely Fully Fuzzy Linear Programming (FFLP) problem, in which the constraints are in inequality forms. Then a new method is proposed to ne the fuzzy solution for solving (FFLP). Nu...

this paper presents a framework for long term transmission expansion planning in competitive, electricity markets. transmission lines and phase shifters are taken into account as expansion options. maximization of the network users' benefits, with satisfying security constraints are considered as the criterion for transmission expansion planning. the elements of the objective function are the...

Linear programming problems with alternate solutions are challenging due to the choice of multiple strategiesresulting in the same optimal value of the objective function. However, searching for these solutions is atedious task, especially when using mixed integer linear programming (MILP), as previously applied tometabolic models. Therefore, judgment on plurality of optimal m...

this study was conducted to determine timeliness costs in using machinery and their effects on farmers’ revenues. in addition, optimum cropping pattern was compared with the existing one assuming removal of timeliness cost. for the purpose of the study, mixed integer and linear programming methods were used. the study was conduced in marvdasht region in southern iran. the data were collected th...

land use optimization is one of the appropriate methods for soil conservation which helps decision makers and watershed planners in order to make the optimum decision among different land uses. the main objective of this research was to find the optimum area of each land use to reduce soil erosion rate as well as to increase the income of stakeholders in golroudbar watershed located in semnan p...
