This study was conducted aimed at providing a sustainable multi-objective model of supply chain location, inventory, routing under uncertainty with a passive defense approach, in which the Upgral model was first introduced ...

The relationship between the variables e.g. economic growth, energy consumption, foreign direct investment, and the growth of pollution are complex issues, and important for the countries, which are planning a sustainable ...

Many organizations (including banks) have a multi-step process and their operations are a continuous process in successive periods. The Taguchi method is an efficient way to optimize a single quality response. However, in ...

Let G be an abelian group with a metric d, E be a normed space and f : G → E be a given function.We define difference C 3,1 f by the formulaC 3,1 f(x,y) = 3f(x + y) + 3f(x − y) + 48f(x) − f(3x + y) − f(3x − ...

In this paper, we first establish a new fixed point theorem for a Meir-Keeler type condition. As an application, we derive a simultaneous generalization of Banach contraction principle, Kannan's fixed point theorem, ...

In this paper, some fixed point theorems for nonexpansive mappings in partially ordered spherically complete ultrametric spaces are proved. In addition, we investigate the existence of fixed points for nonexpansive mappings ...

In this paper, two games that play a role in creating a cancer tumor and suppression are studied using evolutionary game theory and its different modes are analyzed. The first game is the competition between a cancer cell ...

Singer and Wermer proved that if A is a commutative Banach algebra and d: A → A is a continuous derivation, then d(A) ⊆ rad(A), where rad(A) denotes the Jacobson radical of A. In this paper, we establish a new proof of ...

Maintenance scheduling of power generators is of particular importance for power grids from both economic and reliability aspects. In this paper, the discrete firefly algorithm is implemented for maintenance scheduling of ...

In this paper, we introduce the (G; )􀀀Ciric-Reich-Rus contraction on metric space endowed with agraph, such that (X; d) is a metric space, and V (G) is the vertices of G coincides with X. We givean example to ...

The flow of fluids including micron particles in micro channels and manufacturing microfluidics tools have been one of the important topics in last decades and are utilized in different industries. The research procedure ...

In this work, we investigate the following Kirchhoff-type equation with variable exponent nonlinearities u_{tt}-M(‖∇u‖²)△u+|u_{t}|^{p(x)-2}u_{t}=|u|^{q(x)-2}u. We proved the blow up of solutions ...

Face recognition is still an active pattern analysis topic. Faces have already been treated as objects or textures, but human face recognition system takes a different approach in face recognition. People refer to faces ...

In this paper, we give a proof of the results of Miculescu and Mihail [J. Fixed Point Theory Appl. 19, 2153-2163 (2017)] and Suzuki [J. Inequal. Appl. 2017, Paper No. 256, 11 p.] in extended $b$-metric spaces. Also we give ...

As the penetration of distributed generation sources increases at the distribution level, the necessity of designing microgrids is highlighted. Microgrids can operate in either islanded (separated from the utility grid) ...

In this paper, Darbo fixed-point theorem is employed as a mathematical tool to examine existence of the solution of some nonlinear functional stochastic integral equations which arise in many physical, chemical and biological ...

In this paper, the new methodology of interconnection network among the various corporations whichare the members of a single nancial group is studied and developed. For the rst time, each companyis observed ...

Background and objective: The motor is the base of learning and mental processes. This shows the importance of motor impairment in people with specific learning disorder. The purpose of this study is to ...

The motivation behind this paper is to study a class of nondifferentiable multiobjective fractional programming problem in which each component of objective functions contains a term including the support function of a ...

In this paper, we prove strong convergence results for a modified Mann iterative process for a new class of I- nearly weak uniformly L-Lipschitzian mappings in a real Banach space. The class of I-nearly weak uniformly ...
