Quantitative Evaluation for the Threat Degree of a Thermal Reservoir to Deep Coal Mining by Yun Chen, Xinyi Wang, Yanqi Zhao, Haolin Shi, Xiaoman Liu, Zhigang Niu

“…Based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), the index factor weight is defined, and then, the threat degree of the roof thermal storage aquifer to the coal mining is quantitatively evaluated and divided by using the fuzzy variable set theory. The evaluation results show that the threat degree of the roof in the eastern region is generally greater than that in the western region and that the closer it is to the coal seam outcrop line, the higher the threat degree is; near the boreholes, in the areas Qs1,Qs5, Qs8, Sx1, Tk5, Zc4, and Zc7, which are close to the hidden outcrop line of the coal seam, the classification characteristic value of the threat degree is greater than 3.5, which is in the high-threat zone for disasters caused by roof thermal storage aquifers during coal seam mining. …”

Information support for decision making in problem situation description by S. F. Lipnitsky

“…The relevance of the problem is associated with the need to collect and process significant amounts of information, since in the presence of a large number of factors, a person's capabilities are often insufficient to search and organize the necessary information.When solving the problem of user information support at the stage of describing the problem situation, three main goals are pursued: building a mathematical model of the corresponding processes; formalization of the set of basic concepts of the model; development of the algorithms for implementation of user interaction with the information system.Methods. Methods of set theory, probability theory and graph theory are used.Results. …”

An improved fuzzy time series forecasting model based on hesitant fuzzy sets by Lubna Shafi, Shilpi Jain, Praveen Agarwal, Pervaiz Iqbal, Aadil Rashid Sheergojri

“…The Hesitant Fuzzy Set (HFS) theory better emphasizes the chances of capturing fuzziness and uncertainty due to randomness than the classic fuzzy set theory. This study aims to improve the previously identified hesitant fuzzy TSF models by including various degrees of hesitation to improve forecasting performance. …”

Soft intersection almost bi-quasi-interior ideals of semigroups by Aslıhan Sezgin, Zeynep BAŞ, Aleyna İlgin

“…With our obtained crucial theorem that states that if a nonempty set of a semigroup is an almost BQI-ideal, then its soft characteristic function is a soft intersection almost BQI-ideal, and vice versa, we achieve to construct a bridge between semigroup theory and soft set theory. With this vital theorem, several interesting relationships between certain types of almost BQI-ideals of semigroups, such as minimal, prime, semiprime, and strongly prime almost BQI-ideals and certain types of soft intersection almost BQI-ideals, are derived.  …”
