Multi-period QoS evaluations have to be considered for obtaining a reliable decision in the service selection process. Besides, open and dynamic Internet environment increased the uncertainty of decision-making. To solve the above difficulties, this paper presents a novel hybrid data type (including real numbers, interval numbers, triangular fuzzy numbers and intuitionistic fuzzy numbers) QoS m...

In this paper, a new algorithm of approximating rational triangular B-B surfaces using polynomial triangular B-B surfaces is presented. This algorithm has a simple expression and insured convergence. The core idea of the algorithm is to yield a polynomial triangular B-B surface, which has the same degree and new control vertices of the degree-elevated rational triangular B-B surface, to approxi...

Multi-shift triangular solves are basic linear algebra calculations with applications in eigenvector and pseudospectra computation. We propose blocked algorithms that efficiently exploit Level 3 BLAS to perform multishift triangular solves and safe multi-shift triangular solves. Numerical experiments indicate that computing triangular eigenvectors with a safe multi-shift triangular solve achiev...

Various broadband multi-resonator gap-coupled configurations of equilateral triangular microstrip antenna and its compact variation, half equilateral triangular microstrip antenna, are proposed. The broadband proximity fed equilateral triangular microstrip antenna yields bandwidth of more than 650 MHz (~44%), whereas equivalent proximity fed gap-coupled half equilateral triangular microstrip an...

In this paper we present a bijection between composition matrices and (2+ 2)free posets. This bijection maps partition matrices to factorial posets, and induces a bijection from upper triangular matrices with non-negative entries having no rows or columns of zeros to unlabeled (2+ 2)-free posets. Chains in a (2+ 2)-free poset are shown to correspond to entries in the associated composition matr...
