in this paper a fuzzy analytical network process model for supporting the vendor selection process in strategic situations is suggested. first, the vendor evaluation problem is putting together by use of the multi-criteria decision-making (mcdm) approach and a five-step hybrid process, which incorporates the technique of fuzzy analytical network process. then the modified topsis (technique for ...

This paper outlines the implementation of variational iteration method (VIM) for finding new solitary solutions for nonlinear dispersive K (p, q) equations. Numerical results coupled with the graphical represnation explicitly reveal the accuracy, simplicity and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

The increasing population in Australia is highly urbanized. There is no doubt that the rapid growth in the numbers of residents in the metropolitan areas can highly affect the conditions in the public realm, places where people naturally interact with each other and their community. Therefore, a valid measurement of wellbeing is required for a planner to come up with solid decisions for improvi...

New technologies present a widely range of challenges in the design of standard-cell libraries, layout generation and validation of macro-blocks. Thus, the development of new tools being able to deal with these challenges is mandatory. This work presents a transistor placement technique using genetic algorithm associated to analytical programming. The genetic algorithm is used to reduce the sea...
