A new structure learning approach for Bayesian networks (BNs) based on asexual reproduction optimization (ARO) is proposed in this letter. ARO can be essentially considered as an evolutionary based algorithm that mathematically models the budding mechanism of asexual reproduction. In ARO, a parent produces a bud through a reproduction operator; thereafter the parent and its bud compete to survi...

The notion of absorbent ordered filters in implicative semigroupsis introduced, and its fuzzification is considered. Relations among (fuzzy) orderedfilters, (fuzzy) absorbent ordered filters, and (fuzzy) positive implicativeordered filters are stated. The extensionproperty for (fuzzy) absorbent orderedfilters is established. Conditions for (fuzzy) ordered filters to be (fuzzy)absorbent ordered ...

In this paper, we consider fuzzy inventory with backorder. First, we fuzzify the storing cost a, backorder cost b, cost of placing an order c, total demand r, order quantity q, and shortage quantity s as the triangular fuzzy numbers in the total cost. From these, we can obtain the fuzzy total cost. Using the signed distance method to defuzzify, we get the estimate of the total cost in the fuzzy...

If (X ′, τ ′,≤′) is an ordered compactification of the partially ordered topological space (X, τ,≤) such that ≤′ is the smallest order that renders (X ′, τ ′,≤′) a T2-ordered compactification of X, then X ′ is called a Nachbin(or order-strict) compactification of (X, τ,≤). If (X ′, τ ′,≤∗) is a finite-point ordered compactification of (X, τ,≤), the Nachbin order ≤′ for (X ′, τ ′) is described i...

Recently there has been significant interest in constructing ordered analogues of Petrov’s two-parameter extension Ethier and Kurtz’s infinitely-many-neutral-alleles diffusion model. One method for these processes goes through taking an appropriate diffusive limit Markov chains on integer compositions called Chinese Restaurant Process up-down chains. The resulting are diffusions whose state spa...
