We formulate a fuzzy perceptive model for Markov decision processes with discounted payoff in which the perception for transition probabilities is described by fuzzy sets. Our aim is to evaluate the optimal expected reward, which is called a fuzzy perceptive value, based on the perceptive analysis. It is characterized and calculated by a certain fuzzy relation. A machine maintenance problem is ...

Translation plays an important role in conveying and manipulating ideologies. Accordingly, this study sought to analyze the ideological elements in the English subtitles of the Persian movie The Salesman. The framework to find the driven ideological strategies in the translation of the Persian audio of the same movie was based on the critical discourse analysis (...

Gödel claimed that Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory is ‘what becomes of the theory of types if certain superfluous restrictions are removed’. The aim of this paper is to develop a clearer understanding of Gödel’s remark, and of the surrounding philosophical terrain. In connection with this, we discuss some technical issues concerning infinitary type theories and the programme of developing the seman...

This paper presents a hybrid automata approach for modeling and analyzing the robotic motion planning and control. Robotic systems acquire data from perceptive sensors and respond to the perceptions through decision and control process. The hybrid perceptive framework is built based on continuous and discrete perceptive references. The robot can plan and modifying the original path through swit...
