this paper presents a new mathematical model for a bi-objective job shop scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times that minimizes the weighted mean completion time and the weighted mean tardiness time. for solving this multi-objective model, we develop a fuzzy multi-objective linear programming (fmolp) model. in this problem, a proposed fmolp method is applied with respect to the o...

Ample fields play an important role in possibility theory. These fields of subsets of a universe, which are additionally closed under arbitrary unions, act as the natural domains for possibility measures. A set provided with an ample field is then called an ample space. In this paper we generalise Wang’s notions of product ample field and product ample space. We make a topological study of ampl...

I argue that opposite arrows of time, while being logically possible, cannot realistically be assumed to exist during one and the same epoch of this universe.

For p ∈ R, the power mean of order p of two positive numbers a and b is defined by Mp a, b a b /2 , for p / 0, and Mp a, b √ ab, for p 0. In this paper, we answer the question: what are the greatest value p and the least value q such that the double inequality Mp a, b ≤ A a, b G a, b H1−α−β a, b ≤ Mq a, b holds for all a, b > 0 and α, β > 0 with α β < 1? Here A a, b a b /2, G a, b √ ab, and H a...
