The alternating renewal process is one of the renewal processes in renewal theory. It is widely used in inventory systems and queueing systems. In classical alternating renewal processes, one of the assumptions is that the on times and off times are independent random variables. The notion of a fuzzy set was introduced by Zadeh [1] who defined it as a generalized characteristic function. Recent...

In 1970, Levine 1 introduced the notion of generalized closed sets in topological spaces as a generalization of closed sets. Since then, many concepts related to generalized closed sets were defined and investigated. In 1997, Balasubramanian and Sundaram 2 introduced the concepts of generalized closed sets in fuzzy setting. Also, they studied various generalizations fuzzy continues mappings. Re...

this article proposes composition of fuzzy sets theory with discrete-event simulation and puts it into application in order to model uncertain activity duration in simulating a real-world system. the purpose of this paper is to assess the usefulness of fuzzy simulation for modeling uncertain activity duration, especially when insufficient or no sample data is available. in this research, fuzzy ...

An on line method for adapting the scaling factors of the fuzzy logic controller is presented. Since most of the times tuning these controllers is not an easy task and very time consuming, the solution is to design an adaptive fuzzy controller. The objective of the proposed algorithm is to adapt the scaling factors according to a performance measure in order to fine tune the controller and impr...

In this paper, the fuzzy matrix equation $Awidetilde{X}B=widetilde{C}$ in which $A,B$ are $n times n$crisp matrices respectively and $widetilde{C}$ is an $n times n$ arbitrary LR fuzzy numbers matrix, is investigated. A new numerical procedure for calculating the fuzzy solution is designed and a sufficient condition for the existence of strong fuzzy solution is derived. Some examples are ...

The notion of the necessary criticality (both with respect to path and to activity) of a network with imprecisely defined (by means of intervals or fuzzy intervals) activity duration times is introduced and analyzed. It is shown, in the interval case, that both the problem of asserting whether a given path is necessarily critical and the problem of determining an arbitrary necessarily critical ...

In this paper a new method based on fuzzy theory is developed to solve the Project Resource Leveling Problem in fuzzy environment. Resource Leveling Problem attempts to minimize the resource usage fluctuations in project plan. Assuming that the duration of activities and resource requirements are fuzzy, in this method we compute several project characteristics such as earliest times, latest tim...
