Today, along with enhancement of social well-being andeconomic development, demand for transportation is growing increasingly.Many countries are seeking for providing transportation servicesat a reasonable price. Therefore, optimization of carrying goods on nationalor international roads is highly important in terms of costs andtransportation indicator, so that the goods are shipped at minimumc...

In this paper, a new interval-valued fuzzy multi-criteria group decision-making model is proposed to evaluate each of the energy plans with sustainable development criteria for proper energy plan selection. The purpose of this study is divided into two parts: first, it is aimed at determining the weights of evaluation criteria for sustainable energy planning and second at rating sustainable ene...

Double Refined IndeterminacyNeutrosophic Set (DRINS) is an inclusive case of the refined neutrosophic set, defined by Smarandache [1], which provides the additional possibility to represent with sensitivity and accuracy the uncertain, imprecise, incomplete, and inconsistent information which are available in real world. More precision is provided in handling indeterminacy; by classifying indete...

We present a learning framework for Markovian decision processes that is based on optimization in the policy space. Instead of using relatively slow gradient-based optimization algorithms, we use the fast Cross Entropy method. The suggested framework is described for several reward criteria and its effectiveness is demonstrated for a grid world navigation task and for an inventory control problem.

To any periodic and full C∗–dynamical system (A, α,R), an invertible operator s acting on the Banach space of trace functionals of the fixed point algebra is canonically associated. KMS states correspond to positive eigenvectors of s. A Perron–Frobenius type theorem asserts the existence of KMS states at inverse temperatures equal the logarithms of the inner and outer spectral radii of s (extre...

Abstract Smart cities are included in the literature as a technology-based concept that has been on agenda recent years and whose framework is constantly changing with changes technology. There different frameworks indexes to define smartness of city. City Index 2021 published by Institute for Management Development (IMD) Singapore University Technology Design (SUTD) one accepted studies world....

Automatic registration of terrestrial laser scanning point clouds is a crucial but unresolved topic that is of great interest in many domains. This study combines terrestrial laser scanner with a smartphone for the coarse registration of leveled point clouds with small roll and pitch angles and height differences, which is a novel sensor combination mode for terrestrial laser scanning. The appr...

We consider the view planning problem where a range sensor is mounted on a robot mechanism with non-trivial geometry and kinematics. The robot–sensor system is required to explore the environment for obstacles and free space. We present an information theoretical approach in which the sensing action is viewed as reducing ignorance of the planning space, the C-space of the robot. The concept of ...

congestive heart failure (chf) remains to be one of the major cardiovascular disorders in the world. due to the prevalence of chf related issues, it is prudent to seek out new prognostic predictors that would facilitate the prevention, monitoring, and treatment of the disease on a daily basis. a detection approach using entropy measures extracted from surface electrocardiograms (ecgs) and class...

In this paper we study some monotone behavior of the residual (past) entropy of order . We prove that, under some relation between the hazard rates (reversed hazard rates) of two distributions functions F and G, when the residual (past) entropy of order of F is decreasing (increasing) then the residual (past) entropy of G is decreasing (increasing). Using this, several conclusions regarding mo...
