The multiple attribute mixed type decision making is performed by four methods, that is, the relative approach degree of grey TOPSIS method, the relative approach degree of grey incidence , the relative membership degree of grey incidence and the grey relation relative approach degree method using the maximum entropy estimation, respectively. In these decision making methods, the grey incidence...

In this paper, an enhanced thermal face recognition method, namely GMFB, is proposed. Initially, Gabor Jet Descriptor (GJD) is extracted from each thermal image with five scales and eight orientations. Then, the Modified Fisher (MF) criterion is implemented on the feature vector for every scale. Finally, the Borda count (BC) matching method is used to get higher matching score. Our proposed met...

The feature of our method different from other fuzzy grey relation method for supermixed multiple attribute group decision-making is that all of the subjective and objective weights are obtained by interval grey number and that the group decisionmaking is performed based on the relative approach degree of grey TOPSIS, the relative approach degree of grey incidence and the relative membership de...

having access to locations struck by natural environmental disasters is one of the chief necessities in urban disaster management. this paper aims to study different physical and semi-physical patterns for increasing access to different districts in a city through applying changes to the present network of routes. to attain this goal, district 6 of tehran municipality was selected for the case ...

In this paper we study the allocation of indivisible items among a group of agents, a problem which has received increased attention in recent years, especially in areas such as computer science and economics. A major fairness property in the fair division literature is proportionality, which is satisfied whenever each of the n agents receives at least [Formula: see text] of the value attached ...

In this paper we present an effective scheme that preserves the biometric templates more secured. We present a new algorithm called Enhanced Blind Encryption Algorithm for securing biometric templates between client and server and using that for authentication. There are four phases involved in this process namely, enrollment, identification, matching and fusion. During enrollment, biometric tr...

In this thesis, I present some novel results pertaining to the relationship between two popular and interesting information aggregation methods: the Condorcet and Borda tallies. I present numerical results showing how the much simpler Borda tally can be used to approximate the outcome of the Condorcet tally with high probability in certain circumstances, a proof that there exist classes of prob...

This paper examines the notion of ‘irrelevant’alternatives in the context of social choice problems. It is shown that seemingly irrelevant alternatives could be relevant because of their information content. This leads to a consideration of aggregation rules where an endogenous condition of independence of irrelevant alternatives is imposed. The analysis leads to the characterization of a uniqu...
