Relativistic model of an anisotropic star with Bose-Einstein dark matter density profile in f(T) gravity by Samprity Das, Prabir Rudra, Surajit Chattopadhyay

“…Additionally, the various masses that are derived for varying the model parameter k correspond to five compact, realistic compact objects, including LMC X-4, Her X-1, 4U 1538-52, SAX J1808.4-3658, and Cen X-3. We have also illustrated the radially symmetric profiles of energy density and the moment of inertia for non-rotating stars.…”

Binary fuzzy linear programming problems: a new solution by Malihe Niksirat, Majid Abdolrazzagh-Nezhad

“…In each node of the branch-and-bound tree, the linear relaxation of the fuzzy problem is solved with a new fuzzy simplex method based on Kerre's adapted method.Findings: Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the proposed method step by step, and the results are compared with those of other approaches that solve fuzzy binary integer programming problems.Originality/Value: Unlike the available defuzzification procedures and fuzzy ranking functions in the research problem literature, the proposed approach considers the assumption of being fuzzy in the solution process and thus offers a more realistic solution.…”
