{"title":"A Decision-Making Approach Incorporating TODIM Method and Sine Entropy in q-Rung Picture Fuzzy Set Setting","authors":"Büşra Aydoğan, M. Olgun, F. Smarandache, Mehmet Ünver","doi":"10.1155/2024/3798588","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2024/3798588","url":null,"abstract":"In this study, we propose a new approach based on fuzzy TODIM (Portuguese acronym for interactive and multicriteria decision-making) for decision-making problems in uncertain environments. Our method incorporates group utility and individual regret, which are often ignored in traditional multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) methods. To enhance the analysis and application of fuzzy sets in decision-making processes, we introduce novel entropy and distance measures for q-rung picture fuzzy sets. These measures include an entropy measure based on the sine function and a distance measure derived from the Jensen-Shannon divergence. In our methodology, incorporating the sine function into the entropy measure stands out as a distinctive decision, grounded in a profound understanding of the inherent characteristics of fuzzy sets. Utilizing the sine function proves especially advantageous when handling fuzzy sets that exhibit cyclical variations or fluctuations in their membership degrees. We effectively weight the criteria for an improved evaluation by using this new entropy measure. The introduced distance measure finds application in the TODIM approach, allowing the execution of TODIM method steps within a fuzzy environment until the determination of one alternative’s dominance over another—an advancement beyond traditional approaches. We apply our enhanced fuzzy TODIM method to a real-life construction project management problem from the literature and compare the results with those in the literature and obtained from other MCDM methods. Our proposed measures are robust, as demonstrated by the sensitivity analysis that varied the weights of group utility and individual regret, with the results visualized in a 3D sensitivity plot. The findings demonstrate the superiority of our method in providing a more comprehensive evaluation of alternatives, making it a useful tool for decision-makers facing complex and uncertain decision-making problems.","PeriodicalId":49251,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Mathematics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139612997","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}

Tiruneh","doi":"10.1155/2024/9993489","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2024/9993489","url":null,"abstract":"The streamline upwind Petrov-Galerkin (SUPG) finite element method was used in this study to investigate the thermal and surface roughness effects on an inclined slider bearing with an unsteady fluid film. One-dimensional transverse and longitudinal surface roughness models were considered with the supposition that roughness is stochastic and has a Gaussian random distribution. For simplicity of numerical computation, the irregularity caused by the texture of the surface is transformed into a regular domain. The bearing performance of the combined effect is lower than the thermal and surface roughness effects of the one-dimensional longitudinal surface roughness for all modified Reynolds numbers of nonparallel slider bearings; this means that for nonparallel (w=0.4) between the surface roughness effect and the combined effect condition, there is a decrease of 13% in load-carrying capacity performance and a minimal change in friction force, respectively. However, in the case of nonparallel one-dimensional transverse type slider bearings, the bearing performance of the thermal effect is lower than the combined and surface roughness effects for all modified Reynolds numbers, where between the combined effect and the thermal effect condition, there is a reduction of 19% in load-carrying capacity performance and 2% in friction force practically for all changed Reynolds values, respectively. Furthermore, the combined effects at various temperatures have been investigated. As a result, in both longitudinal and transverse models, in the case of the pad temperature being lower than the slider, the load-carrying capacity performance is higher than in other cases for nonparallel slider bearings, whereas when the slider temperature is lower than the pad temperature, the drag frictional force is the leading one in both models. In general, considering surface texture and inertial effects will increase the performance of a slider. The results obtained are displayed using figures and tables.","PeriodicalId":49251,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Mathematics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139528006","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}

Then, the bifurcation method is used to predict the nature of solutions of the considered wave equation. It is applied to reduce the two-dimensional complex cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation to the quintic nonlinear ordinary differential equation, easily solvable. Under some constraints of parameters, equilibrium points are obtained and phase portraits have been plotted. The particularity of these phase portraits obtained for new ordinary differential equation is the existence of homoclinic or heteroclinic orbits depending on the nature of equilibrium points. For some parameters, one has the orbits starting to one fixed point and passing through another fixed point before returning to the same fixed point, predicting then the existence of the combination of a pair of pulse-dark soliton. One has also for other parameters, the orbits linking three equilibrium points predicting the existence of a dark soliton pair. These results are very important and can predict the same solutions in many domains, particularly in wave phenomena, mechanical systems, or laterally heated fluid layers. Moreover, depending on the values of parameter systems, the analytical expression of the solutions predicted is found. The three-dimensional graphs of these solutions are plotted as well as their 2D plots in the propagation direction.","PeriodicalId":49251,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Mathematics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138959289","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 disease is ignored regardless of the harm it causes to people and other creatures. In this paper, a mathematical model for giardiasis illness transmission is formed, which considers sickness carriers and control measures such as screening, treatment, and sanitation of the environment around people. In the assessment, the basic reproduction number, \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 R\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 0\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 , which is used for analyzing the local stability of the equilibria is determined using the state-of-the-art next-generation matrix, while the Metzler constancy speculation is used to show the overall adequacy of the global stability of the equilibrium point free from the disease. In addition, a Lyapunov function has been used to study the stability of the endemic equilibrium point. The assessment of parameters is performed to explore the limits that significantly influence the transmission components of the disease disorders using the normalizing sensitivity index method. The result revealed that the recruitment rate is the most sensitive limit to the reproduction number. The environment-human interaction parameter is the second influential factor in the transmission of giardiasis in the community. In the same manner, the outcomes recommend that carriers assume an expected part in the rate of giardiasis subsequently; disregarding them could risk endeavors to control the pestilence. Besides, the mathematical recreation of the model shows that a mix of each of the three interventions fundamentally affects the control of giardiasis. In this way, we advise implementing the strategies simultaneously in endemic areas to effectively stop the spread of the giardiasis disease in humans.","PeriodicalId":49251,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Mathematics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139002861","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 automatic production system is composed of many tanks and one robotic, the tank of the researched problem is responsible for processing the job, and the robotic moves the job from one tank to the other tank. The difference between the researched problem and the classic shop scheduling problem is that the former must consider job scheduling and the robotic move sequence, but the latter considers only job scheduling. For optimizing simultaneously job scheduling and robotic move sequence in the proposed problem and minimizing total earliness/tardiness, an improved NEH (Nawaz-Enscore-Ham) and variable search (INEH-VNS) algorithm are developed. In the proposed method, firstly, to obtain initial solution, an improved NEH is shown. Secondly, for computing value of the objective function, the double procedure method is constructed. Thirdly, according to the properties of the proposed problem, three neighborhood structures, adjacent exchange, random insertion, and job exchange, are investigated. To test the performance of the INEH-VNS, 100 instances are randomly generated. When the run time is the same, compared with CPLEX 12.5, the INEH-VNS algorithm can find high-quality approximate optimal solution, a special big scale. Compared with the G-VNS algorithm, the average improvement rate of the approximate optimal solution is 45.9%, and the average stability rate of the INEH-VNS algorithm enhances 75.04%. That is to say, the INEH-VNS algorithm is outstanding and more effective.","PeriodicalId":49251,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Mathematics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139263807","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}

Based on Beor’s saturated porous medium theory and the constitutive equation of transversely isotropic media, the horizontal dynamic control equation of transversely isotropic saturated soil is obtained without considering the vertical displacement. The horizontal vibration of transversely isotropic soil layers was solved using the potential function and separation of the variable method, and the horizontal and radial displacements of the solid soil skeleton of transversely isotropic saturated soil were obtained. The horizontal force of transversely isotropic saturated soil on a single pile was also obtained. On this basis, the horizontal dynamic equation of a single pile in transversely isotropic saturated soil was established, and the horizontal vibration of the pile foundation was solved using the initial parameter method, and the horizontal dynamic impedance of a single pile in transversely isotropic saturated soil is obtained. The influence of soil anisotropy parameter, liquid-solid coupling coefficient, diameter-length ratio, and modulus ratio on the horizontal dynamic impedance of a single pile in transversely isotropic saturated soil was analyzed through numerical examples. The analysis results show that the anisotropy parameters δ 1 , diameter-length ratio r 0 / H , and modulus ratio E p / C 66 have a significant impact on the horizontal dynamic impedance of pile foundation in transversely isotropic saturated soil, and the influence of anisotropy on the horizontal vibration of pile foundation should not be ignored.
