Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) has been criticized considerably for possible rank reversal phenomenon caused by the addition or deletion of an alternative. While in many cases this is a perfectly valid phenomenon, there are also many cases where ranks should be preserved. Our findings indicate that using the geometric mean reduces the variance in ratings substantially; hence, yielding lower i...

Persian language is one of the most widely used languages in the Web environment. Hence, the Persian Web includes invaluable information that is required to be retrieved effectively. Similar to other languages, ranking algorithms for the Persian Web content, deal with different challenges, such as applicability issues in real-world situations as well as the lack of user modeling. CF-Rank, as a ...

Classification of harmonic and semiharmonic graphs according to their cyclomatic number became of interest recently. All finite harmonic graphs with up to four independent cycles, as well as all finite semiharmonic graphs with at most one cycle were determined. Here, we determine all finite semiharmonic bicyclic graphs. Besides that, we present several methods to construct semiharmonic graphs f...
