The multilayer perceptron model has been suggested as an alternative to conventional approaches, and can accurately forecast time series. Additionally, several novel artificial neural network models have been proposed as ...

Multiobjective optimization entails minimizing or maximizing multiple objective functions subject to a set of constraints. Many real world applications can be formulated as multi-objective optimization problems (MOPs), ...

The performance of search operators varies across the different stages of the search/optimization process of evolutionary algorithms (EAs). In general, a single search operator may not do well in all these stages when ...

The homotopy method for the solution of nonlinear equations is revisited in the present study. An analytic method is proposed for determining the valid region of convergence of control parameter of the homotopy series, as ...

Our aim is to establish a spatial decay and growth estimates for solutions of the initial-boundary value problem for the linear wave equation with the damping term under nonlinear boundary conditions. (C) 2001 Elsevier ...

It is known that the theories of rough sets and fuzzy sets have successful applications in computing. Textures, as a theoretical model, provide a new perspective for both rough sets and fuzzy sets. Indeed, recent papers ...

The category Rel whose objects are all pairs (U, r), where r is a relation on a universe U, and whose morphisms are relation-preserving mappings is a canonical example in category theory. One of the convenient categories ...

In this paper a novel approach is presented for an analytic approximate solution of nonlinear differential equations with boundary conditions. By converting the nonlinear problem into an initial value form, a shooting-like ...

The authors characterize di-uniformities on a texture (S, J) in the sense of Ozgag and Brown (Di-uniform texture spaces, Appl. Gen. Top. 4(1) (2003), 157-192) in terms of functions on the texturing J. This characterization ...

In this paper it is shown that the lattice of intuitionistic subsets of a set X in the sense of D. Coker may be represented as a special type of texture space, called an intuitionistic texture on X, and various characterizations ...
