Expedited analytical hierarchical process for multicriteria decision making
- 2022
-
In: ICIC Express Letters. - 1881-803X. ; 16:2, s. 145-151
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this study, a procedure to overcome analytical hierarchical process (AHP) limitations was developed and tested, and a tool created via pairwise comparison chart and weighted sum method hybridization was introduced. In addition, a multicriteria decision-making software was selected to validate the constructed hybrid decision-making tool. The software was formulated based on an established decision-making technique. Data for the comparison analysis were obtained from an ongoing research, and output from the comparison analysis provided evidence for the accuracy of the constructed tool. The proposed hybridized method aligned with AHP reasoning but demonstrated a faster process; hence, it was called ‘expedited AHP’.

In: Proceedings of the International Symposium on Stochastic Models in Reliability Engineering, Life Science and Operations Management, Beer Sheva, 2010.. - Beer Sheva : SCE - Shamoon College of Engineering. ; , s. 754-763
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The object of study is a model of nonlinearly perturbed continuous-time renewal equation with multivariate non-polynomial perturbations. The characteristics of the distribution generating the renewal equation are assumed to have expansions in the perturbation parameter with respect to a non-polynomial asymptotic scale which can be considered as a generalization of the standard polynomial scale. Exponential asymptotics for such a model are obtained and applications are given.

Probability measures associated to geodesics in the space of kähler metrics
- 2018

In: Springer Proceedings in Mathematics and Statistics. - Cham : Springer International Publishing. - 2194-1017 .- 2194-1009. ; 269, s. 395-419

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We associate certain probability measures on R to geodesics in the space HL of positively curved metrics on a line bundle L, and to geodesics in the finite dimensional symmetric space of hermitian norms on H0(X, kL). We prove that the measures associated to the finite dimensional spaces converge weakly to the measures related to geodesics in HL as k goes to infinity. The convergence of second order moments implies a recent result of Chen and Sun on geodesic distances in the respective spaces, while the convergence of first order moments gives convergence of Donaldson’s Z-functional to the Aubin–Yau energy. We also include a result on approximation of infinite dimensional geodesics by Bergman kernels which generalizes work of Phong and Sturm.

Vector-valued Eisenstein series of congruence types and their products
- 2019
-
Licentiate thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Historically, Kohnen and Zagier connected modular forms with period polynomials, and as a consequence of this association concluded that the products of at most two Eisenstein series span all spaces of classical modular forms of level 1. Later Borisov and Gunnells among other authors extended the result to higher levels. We consider this problem for vector-valued modular forms, establish the framework of congruence types and obtain the structure of the space of vector-valued Eisenstein series using tools from representation theory. Based on this development and historic results, we show that the space of vector-valued modular forms of certain weights and any congruence type can be spanned by the invariant vectors of that type tensor at most two Eisenstein series.

Performance of the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory
- 2023
-

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) techniques constitute a practical approach for solving complex problems involving multiple and often conflicting criteria. Decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) is a popular MADM technique with both admirers and critics. This study presents a comprehensive review of DEMATEL through bibliometric analysis using the Scopus database. This article examined 3,521 papers published in journals, conferences or books between 1981 and 2023. We examined a few parameters for commenting on the performance of the technique. Among them are research outputs, the network of DEMATEL users, implementation subject areas, research zones, financing opportunities and publication hosts and their impact trends. We conclude from the findings of this study that the DEMATEL is capable of dealing with modern problem-solving in future environments. Although the growth of new MADMs is obvious, based on the gathered data, we forecast that more than 776 documents will be published in 2025 using DEMATEL for problem-solving. This expanding tendency will continue in the future. As distinct MADMs have diverse constraints, foundations, computing complexity and standpoints, which result in different performances, outmoded low-performance MADM techniques must be reported by researchers to continue this paper’s objective to minimize ambiguity among decision-makers and practitioners. To facilitate such a comparison in the future, a quantitative performance coefficient was also developed here.

Mixed-Integer Linear Optimization: Primal–Dual Relations and Dual Subgradient and Cutting-Plane Methods
- 2020
-
In: Numerical Nonsmooth Optimization: State of the Art Algorithms. - Cham : Springer International Publishing. ; , s. 499-547, s. 499-547
-
Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This chapter presents several solution methodologies for mixed-integer linear optimization, stated as mixed-binary optimization problems, by means of Lagrangian duals, subgradient optimization, cutting-planes, and recovery of primal solutions. It covers Lagrangian duality theory for mixed-binary linear optimization, a problem framework for which ultimate success—in most cases—is hard to accomplish, since strong duality cannot be inferred. First, a simple conditional subgradient optimization method for solving the dual problem is presented. Then, we show how ergodic sequences of Lagrangian subproblem solutions can be computed and used to recover mixed-binary primal solutions. We establish that the ergodic sequences accumulate at solutions to a convexified version of the original mixed-binary optimization problem. We also present a cutting-plane approach to the Lagrangian dual, which amounts to solving the convexified problem by Dantzig–Wolfe decomposition, as well as a two-phase method that benefits from the advantages of both subgradient optimization and Dantzig–Wolfe decomposition. Finally, we describe how the Lagrangian dual approach can be used to find near optimal solutions to mixed-binary optimization problems by utilizing the ergodic sequences in a Lagrangian heuristic, to construct a core problem, as well as to guide the branching in a branch-and-bound method. The chapter is concluded with a section comprising notes, references, historical downturns, and reading tips.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article presents a survey of techniques for ranking results in search engines, with emphasis on link-based ranking methods and the PageRank algorithm. The problem of selecting, in relation to a user search query, the most relevant documents from an unstructured source such as the WWW is discussed in detail. The need for extending classical information retrieval techniques such as boolean searching and vector space models with link-based ranking methods is demonstrated. The PageRank algorithm is introduced, and its numerical and spectral properties are discussed. The article concludes with an alternative means of computing PageRank, along with some example applications of this new method.

A numerical study of infinitely renormalizable area-preserving maps
- 2012
-
In: Dynamical systems. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1468-9367 .- 1468-9375. ; 27:3, s. 283-301
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- It has been shown in Gaidashev and Johnson [D. Gaidashev and T. Johnson, Dynamics of the universal area-preserving map associated with period doubling: stable sets, J. Mod. Dyn. 3(4) (2009), pp. 555–587.] and Gaidashev et al. [D. Gaidashev, T. Johnson, and M. Martens, Rigidity for infinitely renormalizable area-preserving maps, in preparation.] that infinitely renormalizable area-preserving maps admit invariant Cantor sets with a maximal Lyapunov exponent equal to zero. Furthermore, the dynamics on these Cantor sets for any two infinitely renormalizable maps is conjugated by a transformation that extends to a differentiable function whose derivative is Hölder continuous of exponent α > 0. In this article we investigate numerically the specific value of α. We also present numerical evidence that the normalized derivative cocycle with the base dynamics in the Cantor set is ergodic. Finally, we compute renormalization eigenvalues to a high accuracy to support a conjecture that the renormalization spectrum is real.

Generalized Vandermonde matrices and determinants in electromagnetic compatibility
- 2017
-
Licentiate thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Matrices whose rows (or columns) consists of monomials of sequential powers are called Vandermonde matrices and can be used to describe several useful concepts and have properties that can be helpful for solving many kinds of problems. In this thesis we will discuss this matrix and some of its properties as well as a generalization of it and how it can be applied to curve fitting discharge current for the purpose of ensuring electromagnetic compatibility.In the first chapter the basic theory for later chapters is introduced. This includes the Vandermonde matrix and some of its properties, history, applications and generalizations, interpolation and regression problems, optimal experiment design and modelling of electrostatic discharge currents with the purpose to ensure electromagnetic compatibility.The second chapter focuses on finding the extreme points for the determinant for the Vandermonde matrix on various surfaces including spheres, ellipsoids, cylinders and tori. The extreme points are analysed in three dimensions or more.The third chapter discusses fitting a particular model called the p-peaked Analytically Extended Function (AEF) to data taken either from a standard for electromagnetic compatibility or experimental measurements. More specifically the AEF will be fitted to discharge currents from the IEC 62305-1 and IEC 61000-4-2 standards for lightning protection and electrostatic discharge immunity as well as some experimentally measured data of similar phenomena.
