Chaos theory is considered a novel way of understanding the behaviour of nonlinear dynamic systems. It is well known that the evaluation of chaotic systems is dependent on initial conditions since exponential growth error ...

This article concerns the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of a vector process with higher-order B-spline functions. The approximated PCA of this well-known process is compared with the classical PCA of the different ...

In this paper, a particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) is presented to solve the permutation flowshop sequencing problem (PFSP) with the objectives of minimizing makespan and the total flowtime of jobs. For this ...

In this paper we present two recent metaheuristics, particle swarm optimization and differential evolution algorithms, to solve the single machine total weighted tardiness problem, which is a typical discrete combinatorial ...

Homogeneous and non-homogenous singular boundary value problems (special case) are solved using B-splines. The original differential equation is modified at singular point then the boundary value problem is treated by using ...

The B-spline method is used for the numerical solution of a linear system of second-order boundary value problems. Two examples are considered for the numerical illustration and the method is also compared with the method ...

This study presents a new pattern recognition neural network for clustering problems, and illustrates its use for machine cell design in group technology. The proposed algorithm involves modifications of the learning ...

This paper presents a particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) to solve the permutation flowshop sequencing problem (PFSP) with makespan criterion. Simple but very efficient local search based on the variable neighborhood ...

Günümüzde yaşanan gelişmeler ve değişimler sanayi çağının gözde terimi olan verimlilik kavramının, yeni bir bakış açısıyla değerlendirilmesini gündeme getirmektedir. Verimlilik artık bir iş kültürü, bir yaşam biçimi ...

Customer orientation and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) are two forms of extra-role behaviors that are expected to affect organizational performance positively in the literature. This study aims to examine ...
