This paper discusses about the solution of fuzzy Volterra integral equation of first-kind (F-VIE1) using spectral method. The parametric form of fuzzy driving term is applied for F-VIE1, then three classifications for (F-VIE1) are searched to solve them. These classifications are considered based on the interval sign of the kernel. The Gauss-Legendre points and Legendre weights for arithmetics ...

We comment on a recent article by Newton (Environ. Model. Softw. (2010), 25, 15-23), which proposed a method, based on a Bayesian belief networks, for classifying the threat status of species under the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria, and compared this method to an earlier one that we had developed that is based on fuzzy logic. There are three types of differences between the results of t...

Identifying facies for classification for a seismic inversion project is an important step where one balances computational effort and the quality of the results. We propose a new measure to quantify the suitability of a given facies partition based on information theory. The results depend on a user-selected cutoff, and we propose a reasonable value for this constant. We also show the analysis...
