1 - Dual Frontiers in Non-convex Data Envelopment Analysis: Efficiency and In-efficiency Assessment and Stability Analysis
Nasim Nasrabadi Sheyda AyatiAbstractBasic models of Data Envelopment Analysis intrinsically evaluate the decision making units with an optimistic point of view, in the sense that the efficiency status of each unit is evaluated by means of calculating its distance from the efficiency frontier. The MoreAbstractBasic models of Data Envelopment Analysis intrinsically evaluate the decision making units with an optimistic point of view, in the sense that the efficiency status of each unit is evaluated by means of calculating its distance from the efficiency frontier. The efficiency frontier is in fact composed of all units indicating the best practice, in the sense that for each one there exist no other (virtual) unit with a better performance. A unit located on this frontier is called fully efficient and non-efficient, otherwise. In order to provide a more precise assessment, one can evaluate units with a pessimistic point of view, in the sense that a frontier consisting of the worst performance, called the in-efficient frontier is formed and then each unit is evaluated with respect to its distance from this frontier, in a way that the closer the unit to the in-efficient frontier, the more in-efficient it is. In this paper, assuming that the production technology is non-convex, we perform efficiency and in-efficiency evaluation and then, based on the optimal value of the corresponding (in-) efficiency model, we partition all units in two subsets called (in-)efficient and non- (in-)efficient units. Then we investigate the concept of stability of the obtained partitions, by means of presenting related multi objective programs. In the next step, assuming that the input and output data of all units are real intervals, we deal with the efficiency and in-efficiency analysis of units and partition them into three subsets, in each case.

The goal is to calculate the approximate answer for it. Given the boundary conditions fuzzy, it is obvious that the approximate answer function must be a fuzzy function. For this purpose, first, by applying arithmetic on fuzzy data with three components of central index, left ambiguity and right ambiguity, it converts Painleve differential equation into three sets of differential equations (central index, left ambiguity and right ambiguity) with accurate data. do . Then, using the Tammy and Ansari (TAM) method, we calculate the approximate solution of each of the three transformed differential equations and arrive at the fuzzy approximate solution of the Painleve differential equation. Finally, by giving an example, we show the suitability of the method by calculating the error and convergence by finding the approximate solution. Manuscript profile -

Brown and J.L. Loday in 1987 .One of the first topics which was studied on G⊗G is that whether the properties of G⊗G inherited from G or not? For instance, Bacon in 1994 determined an upper bound for the number of minimal generators of G⊗G in terms of the number of minimal generators of G.Let G be a group and Autz (G) be the group of It's central automorphisms, which is a normal subgroup of Aut(G). Our goal is to obtain an estimate for the number of minimal generators of G⊗Autz(G). For this, we first identify it's minimal generators. Then, when both G and Autz(G) are nilpotent groups of class two, we give an upper bound for d(G⊗Autz(G)) in terms of d(G) and d(Autz(G)), where d(X) is the minimal number of generators of X.

We apply a fixed point theorem to prove our stability results. Radu was the first mathematician who applied the fixed point method to prove the stability of functional equations both in normed spaces and random normed spaces. We consider the differential equation υ ʹ (ν ) = Г(ν, υ(ν)),which the related integral equation is υ (ν) = υ (m) - ∫_m^ν Г(τ, υ(τ)) dτ.In this article, by a fuzzy control function, we make stable the pseudo integral equation related to the differential equation. Next, we get an approximation for the pseudo integral equation by using the fixed point method. These results prove‎ Hyers - Ulam - Rassias stability and Hyers - Ulam stability in fuzzy k- normed spaces via fixed point method‎. Manuscript profile -

Although multi-parametric programming with uncertainty in the objective function coefficients and right-hand side of constraints has been extensively discussed and various methods have been proposed for this, uncertainty in the coefficients matrix (i.e. left-hand side uncertainty) have been less considered. In this work, a new method for solving multi-parametric mixed-integer linear problems (mp-MILP) with uncertainty in constraints is presented. This procedure consists of two steps, which in the first step, the bounds of the bilinear terms are improved by using tightening piecewise McCormick relaxations and secondly, based on these improved bounds and estimating bilinear terms, an approximate model of mp-MILP is obtained. The performance of the presented method is investigated by two examples. To do this, the approximation of the problem has been done in different partitioning factors and computational requirements to solve them have been compared. Manuscript profile -

The main disadvantages of t MoreOne of the effective method for solving the multi-objective optimization problems is the ε-constraint method which, unlike the weighted sum method is able to find non-dominated points in non-convex parts of the non-dominated frontier. The main disadvantages of this method are finding similar non-dominated points for choosing different parameters and thus increasing the computational complexity of the algorithm and reducing its overall performance, which is not cost-effective in terms of time and cost. In this paper, a modified is made to ε-constraint method, which, due to the intelligence of the algorithm, the unnecessary areas that lead to the production of the same non-dominated points are eliminated from the beginning. Therefore, additional computational efforts are eliminated to produce the same non-dominated points. Discussions and details of the proposed method, with its algorithm, are presented and in the numerical examples section, the efficiency of the proposed method is compared with the ε-constraint method.

This is a two-echelon routing-location network consisting of an urban distributor (or warehouse), customers and potential locations to install two types of facilities (automated parcel locker and micro-distributor). After ordering based on their desirability, customers are able to receive their product at the door or at 24-hour parcel locker. A modified Bender decomposition algorithm is used to solve the proposed model, which is amplified by the strategy of rounding of master problem’s variables and local search. To prove the efficiency, we compared the properties obtained from the proposed algorithm with the results obtained from the epsilon-constraint method in the Python software environment, the CPLEX library and ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio and the results confirms the absolute dominance of this method in large-sized instances. The results of the sensitivity analysis of the role of automated parcel lockers on the network’s cost and produced pollution indicate the efficiency and validity of the proposed model.

A graph invariant (also known as topological index or molecular descriptor) of graph G is a real number with the property that for every graph H isomorphic to graph G, Top(H) = Top(G). The sum of cubes of vertex degrees of graph G was revived by Furtula and Gutman under the name of forgotten topological index. The Forgotten index F(G) of a simple graph G can also be expressed asF(G)=∑_(uv∈E(G))▒(〖〖〖d_u〗^2+d〗_v〗^2 ) whered_u denotes the degree of the vertex u of G. In this paper, we compare the F-index with some graph parameters such as order, size, radius, minimal vertex degree and maximal vertex degree and some well-known molecular descriptors consisting of first Zagreb index and second Zagreb index, first modified Zagreb index and second modified Zagreb index, Harmonic index, Eccentric connectivity index, hyper-Zagreb index, Geometric-Arithmetic index and inverse sum indeg index.

The constructed non-standard finite difference schemes have the main properties of the continuous model such as positivity, boundedness, and stability. The stability of the equilibrium points of the system is investigated. The proposed non-standard finite difference schemes are convergent to the equilibrium points of the system. In solving nonlinear problems, one of the important advantages of this method is that nonlinear term discretized with nonlocal approximations. In most cases, non-standard finite difference schemes are stable even when large step sizes are considered. Therefore, using non-standard method will be cost-effective in dynamical systems that are studied over a large time interval. Numerical examples confirm the accuracy and efficiency of the non-standard finite difference method.Keywords: Non-Standard Finite Difference Method, SIR Model, Equilibrium Points.

Researchers develop prediction methods to get more accurate forecasting and investors try to find best investing program which depends on future prediction of their markets. The aim of this paper is comparing artificial neural network (ANN), nonlinear autoregressive exogenous model (NARX) and grey model (GM) for predicting stock price. The stock prices of insurance companies in Tehran Stock Exchange are considered in the period 7-10-2009- 9-10-2017. The variables 5 days simple moving average (MA-5), 20 days simple moving average (MA-20), moving average convergence divergence (MACD), gold price, oil price and exchange rate are considered for the prediction. Based on these variables, the models GM(1,1), GM(1,4) and GM(1,7) are selected for the prediction. The results show that ANN and NARX are in the same performance level while grey models have lower performance. The numerical simulations demonstrate that ANN and NARX provide reasonably good prediction with the average error RSME=2.04. Manuscript profile -

Applying essential boundary conditions in this method, that based on moving least squares approximation, have some complexities. Since the shape functions of the moving least squares approximation do not satisfy the property of Kronecker delta function, therefore imposing essential boundary conditions is not as trivial as in the finite element method and we need some modifications of the Galerkin weak form of the equation. In this paper we propose a new approach to apply essential boundary conditions in element free Galerkin method for solving elliptic PDEs. This approach is based on interpolating moving least square method. First we apply the essential boundary conditions in the moving least square approximation of the function then the approximation is used in element free Galerkin method. Thus the essential boundary condition is applied directly. In this paper we first introduce the interpolating moving least squares approximation, and then describe how to apply the boundary conditions. Finally, some different examples show the accuracy and efficiency of the method. Manuscript profile -
