Induced Interval-Valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Hybrid Aggregation Operators with TOPSIS Order-Inducing Variables by Jun-Ling Zhang, Xiao-Wen Qi

“…The merit of two aggregation operators is that they can consider additional preference information of decision maker’s attitudinal characteristics besides argument-dependent information and argument-independent information. Some desirable properties of I-IIFHA and I-IIFHG are studied and theoretical analysis also shows that they can include a wide range of aggregation operators as special cases. …”

Robust Tracking Control for Vehicle Lateral Dynamics with Uncertain Parameters and External Nonlinearities by Huihui Pan, Yifu Zhang, Weichao Sun

“…The main target of controller design has two aspects: the first target is to control the sideslip angle as small as possible, and the second one is to keep the real yaw rate tracking the desired yaw rate. In order to compromise the two indexes, the desired sideslip angle is planned as a new reference signal, instead of the ideal “zero.” …”
