Abstract:
Attribute reduction is one of the most important problems in rough set theory. However, from the granular computing point of view, the classical rough set theory is based on a single granulation. It is necessary to study the issue of attribute reduction based on multigranulations rough set. To acquire brief decision rules from information systems, this paper firstly investigates attribute reductions by combining the multigranulations rough set together with evidence theory. Concepts of belief and plausibility consistent set are proposed, and some important properties are addressed by the view

In this paper the problem of partial (mixed) Boolean programming with interval initial data is considered. A majorizing function is constructed with respect to the objective function of the optimistic and pessimistic problems, respectively. Some properties of this function are proved. In particular, it is shown that the minimum values of the constructed function are not less than the optimistic and pessimistic values of the objective function, respectively

Abstract:
Single-objective bilevel optimization is a specialized form of constraint optimization problems where one of the constraints is an optimization problem itself. These problems are typically non-convex and strongly NP-Hard. Recently, there has been an increased interest from the evolutionary computation community to model bilevel problems due to its applicability in real-world applications for decision-making problems. In this work, a partial nested evolutionary approach with a local heuristic search has been proposed to solve the benchmark problems and have outstanding results. This approach re

Abstract:
In inventory and production decision problems, decision makers are interested to identify the optimal inventory and production level. In a certain decision environment, the optimal inventory level could be determined through traditional inventory methods and the optimal ptoduction level could be determined through linear programming algorithms. In an uncertain decision environment, the traditional methods and algorithms can not provide efficient and relevant solutions for these levels, due to the vague and changing parameters. In this case it is neccesary to develop new methods and models that

Abstract:
Model-based offline reinforcement learning (RL) has made remarkable progress, offering a promising avenue for improving generalization with synthetic model rollouts. Existing works primarily focus on incorporating pessimism for policy optimization, usually via constructing a Pessimistic Markov Decision Process (P-MDP). However, the P-MDP discourages the policies from learning in out-of-distribution (OOD) regions beyond the support of offline datasets, which can under-utilize the generalization ability of dynamics models. In contrast, we propose constructing an Optimistic MDP (O-MDP). We initia

Abstract:
Abstract Transactional Memory (TM) is an alternative way of synchronizing concurrent accesses to shared memory by adopting the abstraction of transactions in place of low-level mechanisms like locks and barriers. TMs usually apply optimistic concurrency control to provide a universal and easy-to-use method of maintaining correctness. However, this approach performs a high number of aborts in high contention workloads, which can adversely affect performance. Optimistic TMs can cause problems when transactions contain irrevocable operations. Hence, pessimistic TMs were proposed to solve some of

In this paper, we introduce the notion of resolvable networks. A resolvable network is a digraph of subnetworks, where subnetworks may overlap, and the inner structure of subnetworks are not interesting from the viewpoint of the network. There are two special subnetworks, Source and Sink, with the following properties: there is no incoming edge to Source, and there is no outgoing edge from Sink. Any resolvable network can be represented by a satisfiability problem in Boolean logic (shortly, SAT problem), and any SAT problem can be represented by a resolvable network.

We are looking for a path (defined by its projection to the XY- plane) such that, over all possible terrains, the path is as short as possible.

In this thesis, we consider optimisation problems which involve ambiguous chance constraints, i.e., probabilistic constraints where the probability distribution of the primitive uncertainties is at least partly unknown. In this case, we can define an ambiguity set that contains all distributions consistent with our prior knowledge of the uncertainty and take either a pessimistic (worst-case) or optimistic (best-case) view of the world. The former view can be used to actively optimise a system whilst guaranteeing some predefined level of safety; being robust even if the worst-case scenario mate

Cognitive theories of depression include maladaptive thinking styles as depressive vulnerabilities. The hopelessness theory of depression (Abramson, Metalsky, & Alloy, 1989) particularly implicates stable and global attributions for negative events as influences upon depression. Positive event attributions are considered less influential, yet they have shown equal predictiveness to negative event attributions for depression-specific mood.

The most important factor that affects the decision making process in finance is the risk which is usually measured by variance (total risk) or systematic risk (beta). Since investors' sentiment (whether she is an optimist or pessimist) plays a very important role in the choice of beta measure, any decision made for the same asset within the same time horizon will be different for different individuals. In other words, there will neither be homogeneity of beliefs nor the rational expectation prevalent in the market due to behavioral traits. This dissertation consists of three essays. In the fi

AbstractThis paper draws upon the history of scientific studies of inheritance in Mendel’s best-remembered model organism, the garden pea, as a source of two parables – one pessimistic, the other optimistic – on the challenges of data linkage in plants. The moral of the pessimistic parable, from the era of the biometrician-Mendelian controversy, is that the problem of theory-ladenness in data sets can be a major stumbling block to making new uses of old data. The moral of the optimistic parable, from the long-run history of studies at the John Innes Centre of aberrant or “rogue” pea varieties, is that an excellent guarantor of the continued value of old data sets is the availability of the relevant physical materials – in the first instance, the plant seeds.

Abstract:
One of the common goals in engineering design education is to provide real-world experiences that mimic the design experiences a student might encounter once graduated. An approach we use in the School of Engineering (SOE) at James Madison University (JMU) is a multidisciplinary pairing of business students from the College of Business and engineering students from the School of Engineering. Engineering and business students are positioned to learn from each other, and to collaborate together as they develop a feasible project plan for a two-year engineering project. In this paper, we present

Abstract:
Since December 2019, SARS-CoV-2 infections have altered many aspects of our societies. Citizens were faced with circumstances to which even experts and scientists did not yet know the answers and were applying the scientific method to make daily steps of progress towards better understanding the threat and how to contain it. Within a year, several vaccines were produced to protect individuals from the virus, thereby resolving the most important medical problem. However, not just medical issues call for the application of the scientific method. The management of epidemics also can, and in fact

Abstract:
This paper examines how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted merchandise trade between and with Commonwealth countries. It uses bilateral trade data from Base Analytique du Commerce International (BACI) to (i) estimate trade losses, i.e. variations in intra- and extra-Commonwealth trade in goods from the pre-pandemic trend, and (ii) simulate the impact of the pandemic on potential trade flows of Commonwealth countries under three scenarios: Consensus, Pessimistic and Optimistic. The scenarios are based on macroeconomic forecasts released by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank a
