rapid technological and economic growth over the last several decades has changed human lives and made modern society face complex decision making problems. these kinds of problems are characterized by incommensurate and conflicting criteria or objectives such as cost, reliability, performance, safety and productivity. multi criteria decision making is an approach that can be used to deal compl...

An accurate and stable short-term traffic forecasting model is very important for intelligent transportation systems (ITS). The forecasting results can be used to relieve traffic congestion and improve the mobility of transportation. This paper proposes a new hybrid model of grey system theory and neural networks with particle swarm optimization, namely, GNN-PSO. The proposed hybrid model can e...

Based on the grey theory, grey characters of river environment system are analyzed, the velocity and dispersion coefficient and attenuation in river are considered as uncertainty parameters and expressed as gray parameters. A grey differential equation of contaminant diffusion in river is built. And the equation has special structure. The truncation error of finite differential method in solvin...

This study focused on the optimization of Al—Mg to CuZn34 friction stir lap welding (FSLW) process for optimal combination of rotational and traverse speeds in order to yield favorable fracture load using Grey relational analysis (GRA). First, the degree of freedom was calculated for the system. Then, the experiments based on the target values and number of considered levels, corresponding orth...

Concrete with gangue which made with ordinary Portland cement at different water binder ratio (0.35, 0.40 and 0.45) or ordinary Portland cement at water binder ratio of 0.35 incorporating 10% fly ash or 20% fly ash; 20% fly ash and 1% early strength agent, slag with the replacement of 15% or 30%, or 15% fly ash and 15% slag were made and exposed to a wetting–drying sulfate environment. The comp...

in particular, by identifying clusters of individuals, households, organizations, cities, countries and nationalities with similar behavioural patterns, it can assist in the crafting of more effective interventions and incentives targeted to specific energy cultures. it also helps energy supply companies understand different behavioural clusters among their customers, so as to better tailor the...

The theory instrument of grey relational analysis is grey relational grade between the sequences. The grey relational grade is a measure of the degree of association between two factors, or between two systems. It describes the relative changes among the various factors in the development process of the system. In turn, we can calculate the grey relational grade, compare and judge the grey rela...

Ecological environment quality comprehensive evaluation evaluate different cells’ ecological environment quality, on the basis of region eco-environment investigation , the indexes and math methods selected according to the region, to discover the problems and put forward comprehensive father measures. In electronic government spatial decision-making assistant systems, Estimate the region’s eco...

This paper is mainly a continuation of the previous paper, which is based on an assessment of liver function and verifies the results. First of all, we use the grey relational grade in grey system theory and integrate the numerical results of the examiner. And then, the influence factors of liver function toward weighting value are derived by significant in rough set theory. In addition, by usi...
