In some situations, rounding a fractional value to the closest integer can lead to a misleading evaluation of efficiency and in some cases may lead to an infeasible projection point. To date, various radial and non-radial models have been presented. This paper proposes a slacks-based non-linear model that guarantees an integer-valued reference point for all integer targets. Also, the reference point of each target is feasible under the proposed model. The lack of a need to round answers to the closest whole value is an advantage of this method. In addition, the results of this model are compared with other models. An example is used to clarify the suggested method.","PeriodicalId":43244,"journal":{"name":"Operations Research and Decisions","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85725792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Once the beneficiary level in the system becomes zero, the server takes a vacation immediately. If the server finds no beneficiaries in the system, then the server is allowed to take another vacation after the return from the vacation. This process continues until the server has exhaustively taken all the J vacations. The closed form transient solution of the considered model and some important time dependent performance measures are obtained. Further, the steady state system size distribution is obtained from the time-dependent solution. A stochastic decomposition structure of waiting time distribution and expression for the additional waiting time due to the presence of server vacations are studied.

The first one is that raw materials are usually deteriorating items and the second one that they emit carbon-based gases during deterioration. Moreover, each item has its unique carbon emission rate and composition, called the pattern of carbon emission, which is a function of the rate of carbon emission. In this present research, we attempt to develop a stochastic inventory model with price, stock, and pattern of carbon emission-dependent demand to maximise the profit of a supplier selling a single product. The rate of deterioration is a function of the rate of carbon emission and effective investment in preservation. The cost of carbon emission is a function of green investment and the pattern of carbon emission. Holding costs and purchase costs are constant. We consider three patterns of carbon emission, and each pattern is defined by a negative exponential function. The rate of carbon emission is assumed to be probabilistic and follows one of the three probabilistic distributions: Uniform, Triangular, and Beta. Numerical validation is provided together with sensitivity analysis of the parameters for managerial insights. Analysis of the effect of carbon emission on the profit earned is made and results are interpreted. Particle swarm optimisation (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA) are applied to solve the model, while statistical analysis and sensitivity analysis of the parameters of the algorithm are provided along with the graphical representation of convergence.","PeriodicalId":43244,"journal":{"name":"Operations Research and Decisions","volume":"89 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84919637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The standard method of contagion detection is based on the evolution of the correlation matrix for the example of exchange rates or returns, usually after removing univariate dynamics with the GARCH model. It is a common observation that crises that have occurred in one financial market are usually transmitted to other financial markets/countries simultaneously, and that they are visible in different financial variables, such as returns and volatility which determine probability distribution. The changes in distributions can be detected through changes in the descriptive statistics of, e.g., returns characterised by expected value, variance, skewness, kurtosis, and other statistics. They determine the shape of the distribution function of returns. These descriptive statistics display dynamics over time. Moreover, they can interreact within the given financial or capital market and among markets. In this article, we use the FX currency cluster represented by some of the major currencies and currencies of the Višegrad group, namely EUR/USD, EUR/CHF, USD/CHF, EUR/HUF, EUR/PLN, EUR/CZK, USD/CZK, USD/HUF, USD/PLN, CHF/PLN, CHF/PLN, CHF/CZK, CHF/HUF, PLN/CZK, and PLN/HUF. In analysing capital markets in terms of equity indexes, we chose developed markets, such as DAX 30, AEX 25, CAC 40, EURSTOXX 50, FTSE 100, ASX 200, SPX 500, NASDAQ 100, and RUSSEL 2000. Our aim is to check the changes in descriptive statistics, matrices of correlation with respect to exchange rates, returns and volatility on the basis of the data listed above, surrounding two crises: the global financial crisis (GFC) in 2007-2009 and Covid 2019.","PeriodicalId":43244,"journal":{"name":"Operations Research and Decisions","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80377085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So, determination of congestion is of prime importance, and removing it improves performance of DMUs. One of the most appropriate methods for detecting congestion is Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Since the output of inefficient units can be increased by keeping the input constant through projecting on the weak efficiency frontier, it is unnecessary to determine the congested inefficient DMUs. Therefore, in this case we solely determine congested vertex units. Towards this aim, only one LP model in DEA is proposed and the status of congestion (strong congestion and weak congestion) obtained. In our method, a vertex unit under evaluation is eliminated from the production technology, and then, if there exists an activity that belongs to the production technology with lower inputs and higher outputs compared with omitted unit, we say vertex unit evidences congestion. One of the features of our model is that by solving only one LP model and with easier and fewer calculations compared to other methods, congested units can be identified. Data set obtained from Japanese chain stores for a period of 27 years is used to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed model and the results are compared with some previous methods.","PeriodicalId":43244,"journal":{"name":"Operations Research and Decisions","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91047158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prior to this, we show that since each axiom individually implies Sen-Coherence, then, as a consequence of a result obtained earlier, each axiom along with asymmetry of the ‘preferred with at probability at least half” relation implies the transitivity of the relation. All the sufficient conditions discussed here are required to be applicable at least to all those otherwise relevant events that have positive probability.

Since the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set (IVIFS) theory generates as realistic as possible evaluation of linguistic expressions, researchers have been expanding traditional MCDM methods to the IVIF environment, especially in the last decade. This study provides a literature review of the relevant articles from several academic databases on applications of IVIF-MCDM methods. The review of 131 publications addresses specific research questions. To understand the research publication trend, this review offers a visual analysis that examines the studies from different perspectives, such as application areas, IVIF-MCDM methods, citations, most relevant journals, and validation methods. One of the most remarkable results of the literature review is that most publications in this field are published in SCIE indexed journals. Another noteworthy issue is that China is the country that produces the most articles in this field. In addition, English journals are mostly selected for the publication of articles. While it is seen that the investment selection problem is chosen mostly as the application area, the TOPSIS method is preferred mostly in the applications. This study stands out as the most comprehensive one that compiles publications containing extended traditional MCDM methods for IVIF sets. This review will be an important reference for future researchers and decision-makers involved in advancing MCDM methods considering vagueness and ambiguity.","PeriodicalId":43244,"journal":{"name":"Operations Research and Decisions","volume":"124 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87853482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
