there are two interesting methods, in the literature, for solving fuzzy linear programming problems in which the elements of coefficient matrix of the constraints are represented by real numbers and rest of the parameters are represented by symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. the first method, named as fuzzy primal simplex method, assumes an initial primal basic feasible solution is at hand. t...

finite and boundary element methods have been used by many authors to solve mathematicalphysics problems. however, the coupling of these two methods happens to be more efficient as it combinestheir merits. in this paper, the mathematical analysis of the coupling of finite and boundary element methodsfor the helmholtz equation is presented.

in this paper, the nonlinear free vibrations of thin symmetric and non-symmetric cross-ply composite plates subjected to biaxial initial stresses are investigated. because of their excellent properties such as specific strength and specific stiffness, composite plates have wide applications in aerospace and mechanical structures. based on von-karman's strain-displacement relations and using gal...

in this paper, we present a new two-step trigonometrically fitted symmetric obrechkoff method. the method is based on the symmetric two-step obrechkoff method, with eighth algebraic order, high phase-lag order and is constructed to solve ivps with periodic solutions such as orbital problems. we compare the new method to some recently constructed optimized methods from the literature. the numeri...

Recently, some authors proposed the use of symmetric weightsfor computing the elements of cross-efficiency matrix. In spite ofthe fact that the proposed method decreases the number of zeroweights, a large number of zero weights may still exist among inputand output symmetric weights. To decrease the number of input andoutput symmetric weights, this paper improves the proposed secondarygoal mode...

A notion of meromorphic open-string vertex algebra is introduced. A meromorphic open-string vertex algebra is an open-string vertex algebra in the sense of Kong and the author satisfying additional rationality (or meromorphicity) conditions for vertex operators. The vertex operator map for a meromorphic open-string vertex algebra satisfies rationality and associativity but in general does not s...
