data envelopment analysis operates as a tool for appraising the relative efficiency of a set of homogenous decision making units. this methodology is applied widely in different contexts. regarding to its logic, dea allows each dmu to take its optimal weight in comparison with other dmus while a similar condition is considered for other units. this feature is a bilabial characteristic which opt...

Abstract In the last few years, number of applications multidimensional fuzzy arithmetic (MFA) and interval is expanding. Authors new papers about MFA are often faced with comments from other researchers, especially gradual (GA) proponents, that horizontal membership function (HMF) used in same as inverse (InvMF) GA, itself adds nothing to arithmetic. This view leads unfair evaluations scientif...

in this paper, two sets of sufficient conditions are obtained to ensure the existence and stability of a unique equilibrium point of unforced first-order fuzzy relational dynamical systems by using two different approaches which are both based on the fuzzy relational matrix of the model.in the first approach, the equilibrium point of the system is one of the centers of the related membership fu...

the linear multiobjective transportation problem is a special type of vector minimum problem in which constraints are all equality type and the objectives are conicting in nature. this paper presents an application of fuzzy goal programming to the linear multiobjective transportation problem. in this paper, we use a special type of nonlinear (hyperbolic and exponential) membership functions to ...

unknown noise and artifacts present in medical signals with  non-linear fuzzy filter will be estimate and then removed. an adaptive neuro-fuzzy interference system which has a nonlinear  structure presented  for the noise function prediction by before samples. this paper is about a neuro-fuzzy method to estimate unknown noise of electrocardiogram (ecg) signal. adaptive neural combined with fuzz...

a manufacturing process cannot be released to production until it has been proven to be stable. also, we cannot begin to talk about process capability until we have demonstrated stability in our process. this means that the process variation is the result of random causes only and all assignable or special causes have been removed. in complicated manufacturing processes, such as drilling proces...

this article, by leaving pre-determined membership function of a fuzzy set which is a basic assumption for such subject, will try to propose a hybrid technique to select the most economic project among alternative projects in fuzziness interest rates condition. in this way, net present worth (npw) would be the economic indicator. this article tries to challenge the assumption of large sample si...

This paper presents circular polar coordinates transformation of periodic fuzzy membership function. The purpose is identification of domain of periodic membership functions in consequent part of IF-THEN rules. Proposed methods in this paper remove complicatedness concerning domain of periodic membership function from defuzzification in fuzzy approximate reasoning. Defuzzification on circular p...

An Enterprise resource Planning (ERP) system is packaged business software that integrates organizational process and functions into a unified system. Many researchers and practitioners agree that Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are the most important development in terms of corporate use of information technology (IT) in the 1990s. In this author predict a Comparative study of Anfis...
