        In this research, differential quadrature radial basis functions Method is performed to a fractional order model of HIV infection of CD4+T. Here, Caputo fractional derivative is used and it is approximated by forward finite difference method. Results have been compared with the results of Laplace Adomian decomposition method (LADM), Laplace Adomian decomposition method-pade (LADM-pade), Runge-Kutta, Variational iteration method (VIM) and Variational iteration method-pade (VIM-Pade) for α_1=α_2=α_3 and residual functions have been plotted. And also approximate solutions of suggested method for different order of fractional derivatives have been shown. Manuscript profile

        In this work, by introducing a transformation, the nonlinear Schrodinger equation is converted to an ordinary differential equation (ODE). Then, two nonstandard finite difference (NSFD) schemes are constructed for studying the reduced equation. It is shown that the methods preserve the positivity and boundedness properties of the original equation and are stable conditionally and consistence. Finally, the results of the methods are compared with each other and also with the results of the standard finite difference scheme at some points. The graphs of the errors of numerical solutions for these schemes are plotted and compared with the exact solutions. Manuscript profile

        This paper proposes a satisfying optimization method for fuzzy multiple objective optimization problem. Actually, the presented method realizes the trade-off between optimization and fuzzy importance requirement. Generally, the main aim of the presented approach is to make the more important objective achieving the higher desirable satisfying degree. In practice, vagueness and imprecision of the goals, constraints and parameters in this problem make the decision-making complicated for decision makers who have to deal with the parameters to make the optimized decision. Hence, the reformulated optimization models based on goal programming is proposed for different fuzzy relations and fuzzy importance. In fact, decision makers can select the appropriate alternative considering their determinations from variety of solutions using parameter λ. Applying the proposed model, not only the satisfying results of all the objectives can be acquired, but also the fuzzy importance requirement can be simultaneously actualized. In addition, a numerical example is provided to illustrate how the model is applied. Finally, the conclusions and recommendations are presented. Manuscript profile

        The present research aims to identify the factors affecting the green supply chain in the steel industry with a combined approach. The research is an applied study in type, an exploratory study in goal, a quantitative and qualitative study in data type, and a field study in procedure, in which questionnaire and interview were used as the research instrument. The statistical population was composed of the experts of the steel industry, out of whom 25 experts were selected as the statistical sample by the purposive technique. Data were analyzed by the fuzzy DEMATEL and fuzzy network process analysis in the SPSS21 and MS-Excel software packages. Then, the fuzzy Delphi technique was used, resulting in the identification of five criteria and 25 subcriteria. Then, the fuzzy DEMATEL was employed to determine the influence and dependence of the factors according to which among the main factors, the environment factor was the most influential with an influence value of 0.792 and the financial factor was the most dependent factor with a net dependence value of -0.996. Also, the identified factors were ranked by the fuzzy analytical network process. The results show that the financial factor has the highest weight. Also, the other factors are in the order of environmental, quality, environment, and technology in terms of importance. Manuscript profile

        5 - Factors affecting deviations of efficiency in distance-based Common Set of Weight -DEA models
        سعید شاه قبادی
        There are different approaches to generate a common set of weights in DEA based on the p - distance measure. Deviation of an efficiency score derived from a CSW from target efficiency score may be related to the model and the parameter p. In this study, we try to clarif More
        There are different approaches to generate a common set of weights in DEA based on the p - distance measure. Deviation of an efficiency score derived from a CSW from target efficiency score may be related to the model and the parameter p. In this study, we try to clarify points about choosing p, model, and data set if it is necessary to produce an efficiency score with the least deviation by a CSW. Two improved linear models are developed by analyzing the result of available models. The results of the proposed models have smaller individual and overall efficiency than corresponding prior ones that It has been confirmed with numerical examples and simulation analysis.

        This paper evaluates the relative performance of open source software projects by evaluating multiple project inputs and multiple project outputs by using data envelopment analysis (DEA) model. The DEA model produces an efficiency score for each project based on project inputs and outputs. One of the important issues in data envelopment analysis is ranking DMUs. In this paper, open source software projects (OSS) are considered as decision making units which consume inputs to generate outputs. In this article, three standard Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models are used to evaluate the open source software projects. Also, super-efficiency model are used for ranking. Due to the inability of the models to rank projects, the AP-super efficiency model (the most important and popular method for ranking units) has been used for ranking OSS projects.The result of this research is a practical model that can be used by OSS project developers in order to evaluate the relative performance of their projects and make decision for their sources. Also, OSS projects can now be adequately ranked and evaluated according to project performance. Manuscript profile
