1997 journal article

A parametric representation of fuzzy numbers and their arithmetic operators

FUZZY SETS AND SYSTEMS, 91(2), 185–202.

author keywords: fuzzy arithmetic; triangular fuzzy numbers; membership functions; arithmetic approximations
TL;DR: This work provides the methods for performing fuzzy arithmetic and shows that the PFN representation is closed under the arithmetic operations, and proposes six parameters which define parameterized fuzzy numbers (PFN), of which TFNs are a special case. (via Semantic Scholar)

1997 journal article

A methodology for optimally designing console panels for use by a single operator

HUMAN FACTORS, 39(3), 389–409.

By: T. Sargent n, M. Kay n & R. Sargent*

Contributors: T. Sargent n, M. Kay n & R. Sargent*

MeSH headings : Anthropometry; Data Display; Ergonomics / methods; Humans; Power Plants
TL;DR: A seven-step methodology is presented to determine a dimensionally correct optimal layout of a console panel for a single operator using a mathematical optimization model from facility design to obtain the optimal panel layout. (via Semantic Scholar)

1997 journal article

Linear programming with stochastic elements: An on-line approach

COMPUTERS & MATHEMATICS WITH APPLICATIONS, 33(9), 61–82.

By: S. Guan n & S. Fang n

author keywords: linear programming; infeasible-interior-point method; stochastic programming; Kalman filter
TL;DR: It is proved that the proposed on-line approach to linear programming problems with both the cost and right-hand-side vectors being stochastic is globally convergent to a “true value solution” in the mode of quadratic mean. (via Semantic Scholar)

1997 journal article

Analysis of the error in the standard approximation used for multiplication of triangular and trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and the development of a new approximation

FUZZY SETS AND SYSTEMS, 91(1), 1–13.

author keywords: fuzzy arithmetic; triangular fuzzy numbers; trapezoidal fuzzy numbers; membership functions; computational complexity; multiplication; product operator; multiplication approximation
TL;DR: The error of approximation for repeated use of the multiplication operand is examined and it is shown it can be sufficiently large in simple circumstances to produce erroneous results. (via Semantic Scholar)

1997 journal article

A maximum entropy optimization approach to tandem queues with generalized blocking

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION, 30(4), 217–241.

By: S. Mishra & S. Fang n

author keywords: queueing networks; open tandem queue; principle of maximum entropy; nonlinear programming; kanban blocking; general blocking; mean queue length distribution
TL;DR: This work decomposes the tandem queue into a group of two-node subsystems and applies the principle of maximum entropy to evaluate different parameters such as the blocking probabilities, starvation probabilities, etc., of each subsystem, and proposes a step-by-step algorithm along with its convergence properties.
