The arithmetic of discrete Z-numbers

TL;DR: In this article, the main critical problem that naturally arises in processing Z-number-based information is computation with Z-numbers, which is a more adequate concept for description of real-world information.

Intelligent cryptography approach for secure distributed big data storage in cloud computing

TL;DR: An intelligent cryptography approach, by which the cloud service operators cannot directly reach partial data is proposed, and experimental results depict that the approach can effectively defend main threats from clouds and requires with an acceptable computation time.

Fuzzy VIKOR method: A case study of the hospital service evaluation in Taiwan

TL;DR: A framework based on the concept of fuzzy sets theory and the VIKOR method is proposed to provide a rational, scientific and systematic process for evaluating the hospital service quality under a fuzzy environment to consolidate the service quality performance ratings of the feasible alternatives.

Horizontal Membership Function and Examples of its Applications

TL;DR: HMFs enable direct introducing uncertain, interval or fuzzy variable-values in usual mathematical formulas of type y = f(x1,…,x2) together with crisp values, without using Zadeh’s extension principle, and a relatively easy aggregation of crisp and uncertain knowledge became possible.

Prospect theory: an analysis of decision under risk

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a critique of expected utility theory as a descriptive model of decision making under risk, and develop an alternative model, called prospect theory, in which value is assigned to gains and losses rather than to final assets and in which probabilities are replaced by decision weights.

Theory of Games and Economic Behavior

TL;DR: Theory of games and economic behavior as mentioned in this paper is the classic work upon which modern-day game theory is based, and it has been widely used to analyze a host of real-world phenomena from arms races to optimal policy choices of presidential candidates, from vaccination policy to major league baseball salary negotiations.

Advances in prospect theory: cumulative representation of uncertainty

TL;DR: Cumulative prospect theory as discussed by the authors applies to uncertain as well as to risky prospects with any number of outcomes, and it allows different weighting functions for gains and for losses, and two principles, diminishing sensitivity and loss aversion, are invoked to explain the characteristic curvature of the value function and the weighting function.
