Unrestricted solutions of arbitrary linear fuzzy systems
Solving linear fuzzy system has intrigued many researchers due to its ability to handle imprecise information of real problems. However, there are several weaknesses of the existing methods. Among the drawbacks are heavy dependence on linear programing, avoidance of near zero fuzzy numbers, lack of accurate solutions, focus on limited size of the systems, and restriction to the matrix coefficients and solutions. Therefore, this study aims to construct new methods which are associated
linear systems, min-max system and absolute systems in matrix theory with triangular fuzzy numbers to solve linear fuzzy systems with respect to the
aforementioned drawbacks. It is proven that the new constructed associated linear systems are equivalent to linear fuzzy systems without involving any fuzzy operation. Furthermore, the new constructed associated linear systems are effective in providing exact solution as compared to linear programming, which is subjected to a number of constraints. These methods are also able to provide accurate solutions for large systems. Moreover, the existence of fuzzy solutions and classification of
possible solutions are being checked by these associated linear systems. In case of near zero fully fuzzy linear system, fuzzy operations are required to determine the nature of solution of fuzzy system and to ensure the fuzziness of the solution. Finite solutions which are new concept of consistency in linear systems are obtained by the
constructed min-max and absolute systems. These developed methods can also be modified to solve advanced fuzzy systems such as fully fuzzy matrix equation and fully fuzzy Sylvester equation, and can be employed for other types of fuzzy numbers such as trapezoidal fuzzy number. The study contributes to the methods to solve arbitrary linear fuzzy systems without any restriction on the system
Numerical Fitting-based Likelihood Calculation to Speed up the Particle Filter
The likelihood calculation of a vast number of particles is the computational
bottleneck for the particle filter in applications where the observation
information is rich. For fast computing the likelihood of particles, a
numerical fitting approach is proposed to construct the Likelihood Probability
Density Function (Li-PDF) by using a comparably small number of so-called
fulcrums. The likelihood of particles is thereby analytically inferred,
explicitly or implicitly, based on the Li-PDF instead of directly computed by
utilizing the observation, which can significantly reduce the computation and
enables real time filtering. The proposed approach guarantees the estimation
quality when an appropriate fitting function and properly distributed fulcrums
are used. The details for construction of the fitting function and fulcrums are
addressed respectively in detail. In particular, to deal with multivariate
fitting, the nonparametric kernel density estimator is presented which is
flexible and convenient for implicit Li-PDF implementation. Simulation
comparison with a variety of existing approaches on a benchmark 1-dimensional
model and multi-dimensional robot localization and visual tracking demonstrate
the validity of our approach.Comment: 42 pages, 17 figures, 4 tables and 1 appendix. This paper is a

Multi-objective economic production quantity model for fully backlogged problem where demand depend on some conditions and permissible delay in payment
For any business, inventory system takes a monumental part. Keep this aspect in mind, we formulate multi-objective displayed EPQ model consider with non-instantaneous deteriorating things where production depends on demand and variable demand pattern depends on display self-space, selling price and frequency of advertisement of the item. The customers are more attracted to buy an item by observing self-space, selling price and advertisement. Imperfect materials are now and again come back to providers for a discount or credit. Here price discount is available for deteriorated and defective items. Holding cost varies with time where shortages are allowed and fully backlogged. Fuzzy environment touches the reality instead of the crisp environment. So, we assumed the cost components as Triangular Fuzzy Numbers and Nearest Interval Approximation Method is used to defuzzify the model. Finally, numerical examples as well as sketches are given to illustrate the model
Fast DD-classification of functional data
A fast nonparametric procedure for classifying functional data is introduced.
It consists of a two-step transformation of the original data plus a classifier
operating on a low-dimensional hypercube. The functional data are first mapped
into a finite-dimensional location-slope space and then transformed by a
multivariate depth function into the -plot, which is a subset of the unit
hypercube. This transformation yields a new notion of depth for functional
data. Three alternative depth functions are employed for this, as well as two
rules for the final classification on . The resulting classifier has
to be cross-validated over a small range of parameters only, which is
restricted by a Vapnik-Cervonenkis bound. The entire methodology does not
involve smoothing techniques, is completely nonparametric and allows to achieve
Bayes optimality under standard distributional settings. It is robust,
efficiently computable, and has been implemented in an R environment.
Applicability of the new approach is demonstrated by simulations as well as a
benchmark study
