a memory control for t-s fuzzy discrete-time systems with sto- chastic input delay is proposed in this paper. dierent from the common assumptions on the time delay in the existing literatures, it is assumed in this paper that the delays vary randomly and satisfy some probabilistic dis- tribution. a new state space model of the discrete-time t-s fuzzy system is derived by introducing some stocha...

in this current study a generalized super-efficiency model is first proposed for ranking extreme efficient decision making units (dmus) in stochastic data envelopment analysis (dea) and then, a deterministic (crisp) equivalent form of the stochastic generalized super-efficiency model is presented. it is shown that this deterministic model can be converted to a quadratic programming model. so fa...

chloride ion ingress in concrete is the main reason of concrete corrosion. in real world both uncertainty and stochasticity are main attributes of almost all measurements including testing and modeling of chloride content profile in concrete. regarding these facts new models should be able to represent at least some of the uncertainties in the predictions. in this paper after inspiration from c...

Congestion management in electricity markets is traditionally done using deterministic values of power system parameters considering a fixed network configuration. In this paper, a stochastic programming framework is proposed for congestion management considering the power system uncertainties. The uncertainty sources that are modeled in the proposed stochastic framework consist of contingencie...

this paper presents an approach for solving a nonlinear stochastic differential equations (nsdes) using a new basis functions (nbfs). these functions and their operational matrices areused for representing matrix form of the nbfs. with using this method in combination with the collocation method, the nsdes are reduced a stochastic nonlinear system of equations and unknowns. then, the error anal...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the levels of technical efficiency in agricultural sector of MENA countries by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) approaches in 2007-2008. The results show that the total average of technical efficiency is as follows: DEABCC(0.770)>DEACCR(0.744)>SFA(0.479), and among all MENA countries, the best performanc...

this study examines the responsible energy consumption of listed european hotels. hotel efficiency is estimated using a stochastic frontier analysis (sfa) production function, with supplies costs as the input and total revenue as the output. cluster analysis is used to group the hotels into homogeneous groups according to their efficiency level, size, or profitability. the results show that the...
