Elitist genetic algorithm for assignment problem with imprecise goal

The objective of this research paper is to solve a generalized assignment problem with imprecise cost(s)/time(s) instead of precise one by elitist genetic algorithm (GA). Here, the impreciseness of cost(s)/time(s) has been represented by interval valued numbers, as interval valued numbers are the best representation than others like random variable representation with a known probability distribution and fuzzy representation. To solve these types of problems, an elitist GA has been developed with interval valued fitness function. In this developed GA, the existing ideas about the order relations of interval valued numbers have been modified from the point of view of two types of decision making viz., optimistic decision making and pessimistic decision making. This modified approach has been used in the selection process for selecting better chromosomes/individuals for the next generation and in finding the best as well as the worst chromosomes/individuals in each generation. Here two new crossover schemes and two new mutation schemes have been introduced. In order to maintain the feasibility with crossover operations, a repair algorithm has been suggested. Extensive comparative computational studies based on different parameters of our developed algorithm on one illustrative example have also been reported.

Ranking generalized fuzzy numbers in fuzzy decision making based on the left and right transfer coefficients and areas

Although a number of recent studies have proposed ranking fuzzy numbers based on the deviation degree, most of them have exhibited several shortcomings associated with non-discriminative and counter-intuitive problems. In fact, none of the existing deviation degree methods has guaranteed consistencies between the ranking of fuzzy numbers and that of their images under all situations. They have also ignored decision maker’s attitude toward risk, which significantly influences final ranking result. To overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks, this study proposes a new approach for ranking fuzzy numbers that ensures full consideration for all information of fuzzy numbers. Accordingly, an overall ranking index is obtained by the integration of the information from the left and the right (LR) areas between fuzzy numbers, the centroid points of fuzzy numbers and the decision maker’s attitude toward risk. This new method is efficient for evaluating generalized fuzzy numbers and distinguishing symmetric fuzzy numbers. It also overcomes the shortcomings of the existing approaches based on deviation degree. Several numerical examples are provided to illustrate the superiority of the proposed approach. Lastly, a new fuzzy MCDM approach for generalized fuzzy numbers is proposed based on the proposed ranking approach and the concept of generalized fuzzy numbers. The proposed fuzzy MCDM approach does not require the normalization process and thus avoids the loss of information results from transforming generalized fuzzy numbers to normal form.

Eulerian numbers: A spline perspective

In this paper, the spline interpretations of Eulerian numbers and refined Eulerian numbers are presented. Many classical results about Eulerian numbers can follow from the properties of B-splines directly, and some new results about the refined Eulerian numbers and descent polynomials are also derived. Specifically, the explicit and recurrence formulas for the refined Eulerian numbers and descent polynomials are obtained. This paper also provides a new approach to study Eulerian numbers.

Fuzzy number approximation by trapezoidal fuzzy numbers which preserves the expected interval is discussed.
