Assessing Criteria Weights by the Symmetry Point of Criterion (Novel SPC Method)–Application in the Efficiency Evaluation of the Mineral Deposit Multi-Criteria Partitioning Algorithm

Information about the relative importance of each criterion or theweights of criteria can have a significant influence on the ultimate rank of alternatives.Accordingly,assessing the weights of criteria is a very important task in solving multi-criteria decision-making problems.Three methods are commonly used for assessing the weights of criteria:objective,subjective,and integrated methods.In this study,an objective approach is proposed to assess the weights of criteria,called SPCmethod(Symmetry Point of Criterion).This point enriches the criterion so that it is balanced and easy to implement in the process of the evaluation of its influence on decision-making.The SPC methodology is systematically presented and supported by detailed calculations related to an artificial example.To validate the developed method,we used our numerical example and calculated the weights of criteria by CRITIC,Entropy,Standard Deviation and MEREC methods.Comparative analysis between these methods and the SPC method reveals that the developedmethod is a very reliable objective way to determine the weights of criteria.Additionally,in this study,we proposed the application of SPCmethod to evaluate the efficiency of themulti-criteria partitioning algorithm.The main idea of the evaluation is based on the following fact:the greater the uniformity of the weights of criteria,the higher the efficiency of the partitioning algorithm.The research demonstrates that the SPC method can be applied to solving different multi-criteria problems.

Multiple Darboux–B?cklund transformations via truncated Painleve′ expansion and Lie point symmetry approach

For a given truncated Painleve′ expansion of an arbitrary nonlinear Painleve′ integrable system, the residue with respect to the singularity manifold is known as a nonlocal symmetry, called the residual symmetry, which is proved to be localized to Lie point symmetries for suitable prolonged systems. Taking the Korteweg–de Vries equation as an example, the n-th binary Darboux–Ba¨cklund transformation is re-obtained by the Lie point symmetry approach accompanied by the localization of the n-fold residual symmetries.

Noether conserved quantities and Lie point symmetries for difference nonholonomic Hamiltonian systems in irregular lattices

The Noether conserved quantities and the Lie point symmetries for difference nonholonomic Hamiltonian systems in irregular lattices are studied. The generalized Hamiltonian equations of the systems are given on the basis of the transformation operators in the space of discrete Hamiltonians. The Lie transformations acting on the lattice, as well as the equations and the determining equations of the Lie symmetries are obtained for the nonholonomic Hamiltonian systems. The discrete analogue of the Noether conserved quantity is constructed by using the Lie point symmetries. An example is discussed to illustrate the results.

General Formulations of Finite-field Method Classifiedby Symmetry for Molecular Linear and Nonlinear Polarizabilities

The formulations of the finite-field approach to calculate the linear and non-linear optical coefficients (i, (ij, (ijk and (ijkl of a molecular system with different symmetries have been deduced and summarized. The possible choices of the energy sets of the 48 frequent point groups have been optimized and categorized into 11 classes. With the restriction of symmetry operators, a minimum of 9, no more than 21 energy points have to be calculated in order to determine the coefficients, except in the case of the first class to which C1 point group belongs and in which the 34 non-relative energy points selected in our uniform and general scheme are all needed. The symmetric operators that cause some of the tensor components to vanish have been demonstrated as well.

Birkhoff’s Theorem and Lie Symmetry Analysis

Three dimensional space is said to be spherically symmetric if it admits SO(3) as the group of isometries. Under this symmetry condition, the Einstein’s Field equations for vacuum, yields the Schwarzschild Metric as the unique solution, which essentially is the statement of the well known Birkhoff’s Theorem. Geometrically speaking this theorem claims that the pseudo-Riemanian space-times provide more isometries than expected from the original metric holonomy/ansatz. In this paper we use the method of Lie Symmetry Analysis to analyze the Einstein’s Vacuum Field Equations so as to obtain the Symmetry Generators of the corresponding Differential Equation. Additionally, applying the Noether Point Symmetry method we have obtained the conserved quantities corresponding to the generators of the Schwarzschild Lagrangian and paving way to reformulate the Birkhoff’s Theorem from a different approach.

Critical point symmetry for odd-odd nuclei and collective multiple chiral doublet bands

A critical point symmetry(CPS) for odd-odd nuclei is built in the core-particle coupling scheme with the even-even core assumed to follow the spherical to triaxially deformed shape phase transition. It is shown that the model Hamiltonian can be approximately solved with the solutions being expressed in terms of the Bessel functions of irrational orders. In particular, the CPS predicts that collective multiple chiral doublets may exist in transitional odd-odd systems.

Streamlines in the Two-Dimensional Spreading of a Thin Fluid Film: Blowing and Suction Velocity Proportional to the Height

The two-dimensional spreading under gravity of a thin fluid film with suction (fluid leak-off) or blowing (fluid injection) at the base is considered. The thin fluid film approximation is imposed. The height of the thin film satisfies a nonlinear diffusion equation with a source/sink term. The Lie point symmetries of the nonlinear diffusion equation are derived and exist, which provided the fluid velocity at the base, vn satisfies a first order linear partial differential equation. The general form has algebraic time dependence while a special case has exponential time dependence. The solution in which vn is proportional to the height of the thin film is studied. The width of the base always increases with time even for suction while the height decreases with time for sufficiently weak blowing. The streamlines of the fluid flow inside the thin film are plotted by first solving a cubic equation. For sufficiently weak blowing there is a dividing streamline, emanating from the stagnation point on the centre line which separates the fluid flow into two regions, a lower region consisting of rising fluid and dominated by fluid injection at the base and an upper region consisting of descending fluid and dominated by spreading due to gravity. For sufficiently strong blowing the lower region expands to completely fill the whole thin film.
