Rough data envelopment analysis (RDEA) evaluates the performance of the decision making units (DMUs) under rough uncertainty assumption. In this paper, new discussion regarding RDEA is extended. The RSBM model is proposed by integrating SBM model and rough set theory. The process of reaching solution is presented and this model is applied to efficiency evaluation of the DMUs with uncertain ...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a method for measuring the efficiency of peer decision making units (dmus) with multiple inputs and outputs. the traditional dea treats decision making units under evaluation as black boxes and calculates their efficiencies with first inputs and last outputs. this carries the notion of missing some intermediate measures in the process of changing the inputs to...

measuring the performance of a production system has been an important task in management for purposes of control, planning, etc. lord kelvin said :“when you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind.” hence, manageme...

in this paper, we present a new iterative method with order of convergence eighth for solving nonlinear equations. periteration this method requires three evaluations of the function and one evaluation of its first derivative. a general error analysis providing the eighth order of convergence is given. several numerical examples are given to illustrate the efficiency and performance of the new ...
