Considering the numerical information of indexes cannot be accurately obtained and can be defined as interval grey numbers, the interval grey numbers are defined as standard interval grey num- bers which are split in white part and grey part. The absolute degree of incidence and relative degree of incidence based on the interval grey numbers are constructed and their arithmetic are given. Finally, an example about commercial aircraft index selection illuminates the effectiveness of the model. The results show that the model can sort indexes better and can extend the grey incidence models significantly.展开更多

But reasonable bounds of these parameters can be attained. This is to say, parameters of this model can be regarded as interval grey numbers. When the model contains grey numbers, it is hard for common programming method to solve them. By combining the common programming model with the grey system theory, and using some analysis strategies, a model of grey polynomial geometric programming, a model of θ positioned geometric programming and their quasi-optimum solution or optimum solution are put forward. At the same time, we also developed an algorithm for the problem. This approach brings a new way for the application research of geometric programming. An example at the end of this paper shows the rationality and feasibility of the algorithm.展开更多

We put forward incidence degree coefficient formula for grey interval, by information entropy theory and analysis technique, the method and principle is presented to fill up null values. We also establish the method of grey interval incidence cluster. Because grey system theory and Rough set theory are complementary each other, decision table with preference information is obtained by the result of grey incidence cluster. An algorithm for inducing decision rules based on rough set theory and the dominance relationship is presented. In some extent, this algorithm can deal with decision-making problem in which the attribute values are interval grey numbers and some of them are null values. Contrasted with classical model of cluster decision-making, the algorithm has an advantage of flexibility and compatibility to new information.展开更多

But the solution of DGM(1, 1) model with uncertain information is unique, which conflicts with the nonuniqueness principle of solution in grey theory. In view of this situation, this paper makes an in-depth analysis of the meaning of grey action quantity β_(2) in DGM(1, 1) model and regards β_(2) as an interval grey number. The maximum possibility whitenization value is given to estimate the kernel of grey number,and the typical possibility function is constructed to describe the possibility of grey number taking different values. A new DGM(1, 1) model with a grey parameter is then proposed, whose simulation results are interval grey numbers. The proposed model is compatible with the DGM(1, 1) model in model structure and simulation results. Finally, the practical example results show the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed model.展开更多
