Hierarchical structures and uncertainty measures are two main aspects in granular computing, approximate reasoning and cognitive process. Typical hesitant fuzzy sets, as a prime extension of fuzzy sets, are more flexible to reflect the hesitance and ambiguity in knowledge representation and decision making. In this paper, we mainly investigate the hierarchical structures and uncertainty measure...

most of the researches in the domain of fuzzy number comparisons serve the fuzzy number ordering purpose. for making a comparison between two fuzzy numbers, beyond the determination of their order, it is needed to derive the magnitude of their order. in line with this idea, the concept of inequality is no longer crisp however it becomes fuzzy in the sense of representing partial belonging or de...

We tackle the thief orienteering problem (ThOP), an academic multi-component that combines two classical combinatorial problems, namely Knapsack Problem and Orienteering Problem. In ThOP, a has time limit to steal items distributed in given set of cities. While traveling, collects by storing them their knapsack, which turn reduces travel speed. The as objective maximize total profit stolen item...

The purpose of this paper is to develop a new two-stage method for fuzzy multi-objective linear program and apply to engineering project portfolio selection. In the fuzzy multi-objective linear program, all the objective coefficients, technological coefficients and resources are trapezoidal fuzzy numbers (TrFNs). An order relationship for TrFNs is introduced by using the interval expectation of...

this study recommends a gis-based (geographic information systems) and multi-criteria evaluation for site selection of gas power plant in natanz city of iran. the multi-criteria decision framework integrates legal requirements and physical constraints related to environmental and economic concerns. it also builds a hierarchy model for gas power plant suitability. the methodologies used for site...

small polygroups are multi-valued systems that satisfy group-likeaxioms. using the notion of “belonging ($epsilon$)” and “quasi-coincidence (q)” offuzzy points with fuzzy sets, the concept of ($epsilon$, $epsilon$ $vee$ q)-fuzzy subpolygroups isintroduced. the study of ($epsilon$, $epsilon$ $vee$ q)-fuzzy normal subpolygroups of a polygroupare dealt with. characterization and some of the fundam...

Multi-dimensional Fuzzy differential equations driven by multi-dimensional Liu process, have been intensively applied in many fields. However, we can not obtain the analytic solution of every multi-dimensional fuzzy differential equation. Then, it is necessary for us to discuss the numerical results in most situations. This paper focuses on the numerical method of multi-dimensional fuzzy differ...
