In this paper, the portfolio selection problem is considered, where fuzziness and randomness appear simultaneously in optimization process. Since return and dividend play an important role in such problems, a new model is developed in a mixed environment by incorporating fuzzy random variable as multi-objective nonlinear model. Then a novel interactive approach is proposed to determine the pref...

one of the main principles of the passive defense is the principle of site selection. in this paper, we propose a multiple objective nonlinear programming model that considers the principle of the site selection in terms of two qualitative and quantitative aspects. the purpose of the proposed model is selection of the place of facilities of a system in which not only it observes the dispersion ...

The problem of disturbance rejection in the control of nonlinear systems with additive disturbance generated by some unforced nonlinear systems, was formulated and solved by {itshape Mukhopadhyay} and {itshape Narendra}, they applied the idea of increasing the order of the system, using neural networks the model of multilayer perceptron on several systems of varying complexity, so the objective...

In order to increase the accuracy of evaluating seismic response of structures, it is critical to conduct dynamic analyses based upon precise nonlinear models being as consistent as possible with the real conditions of corresponding structures. The concentrated plasticity model including one elastic element and two nonlinear spring elements at both ends has been considered within the research c...

the objectives of this study were to identify a suitable mathematical model for describing the growth curve of baluchi sheep based on monthly records of live weight from birth to yearling; and to evaluate the efficacies of nonlinear mixed effect model (nlmm) and the nonlinear fixed effect model (nlm) methodologies. growth models were fitted to a total of 16,650 weight–age data belonging to 2071...

The objective of this study is to design a robust direct model reference adaptive controller (DMRAC) for a nonlinear cardiovascular model over a range of plant parameters representing a variety of physical conditions. The direct adaptive controllers used in thisd study require the plant to be almost strictly positive real (ASPR) that is, for a plant to be controlled there must exist a feedback ...

in this paper, a stochastic multi-depot multi-objective vehicle routing problem (vrp) is studied. based on observations in real-world problems, we develop an aspect of the problem, such as stochastic availability of routes. to solve the problem in this situation, a two-objective mathematical model is developed, in which the related objective functions are: (1) minimizing transportation costs an...

capital asset pricing model (capm) has been among the common models to estimate expected returns rate. since the linearity assumption is considered in the standard version of the capital asset pricing model, estimating beta in nonlinear setting will be inconsistent and bias-oriented. therefore, this study tries to evaluate predictive power of nonlinear capital asset pricing model as well as sta...
