DOI: 10.1007/s00500-019-04227-5
Abstract: In this study, the entropy of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IVIFNs) is analyzed, and two kinds of entropy factors are proposed. By using the normalized score function, normalized Type-1 entropy factor, and normalized Type-2 entropy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jmateco.2018.07.004
Abstract: Abstract Rankings of utility functions generated by simple n th order risk-averse transformations are not partial orders, and therefore, do not yield reliable comparative statics predictions, except at the second order. Restrictions have been identified… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/mits.2022.3207411
Abstract: High-speed rail station location (HSR-SL) is a complex problem with multiple conflicting factors, such as local transportation network connectivity, regional accessibility, downtown proximity, and feasibility. The proposed novel methodology quantified these factors using customized nonlinear,… read more here.
