This chapter attempts to outline the pipeline failures and their impact on safety and
environmental risks besides causing blockages and leaks in pipe networks. Furthermore …

Real-world information is characterized by uncertainty and partial reliability. In order to
model this information, Zadeh introduced the concept of Z-numbers. It has been a challenge …

Solving nonlinear equation systems (NESs) is an important yet challenging task in the field
of numerical computation. It aims to locate multiple roots in a single run. However, the …

As a concept put forward by Prof Zadeh, Z-numbers have become a research hotspot in
fuzzy theory. Different from the previous fuzzy sets, Z-numbers possess a stronger ability in …

Z-numbers have been a research hotspot because of the significant advantages in revealing
the uncertainty and randomness of information. However, the computation of existing …

Solving nonlinear equation systems (NESs) remains a challenging task in the numerical
optimization community due to the multi-root nature of NESs. To locate multiple roots of …

A Z-number, which is a generalization of probability and fuzzy numbers, is a novel model to
represent uncertainty in the real world. This article aims to develop discrete Z-numbers in …

The generation of intentional delay in response to the stride frequency is seldom considered
in prosthesis-human symbiosis (PHS). Unfortunately, such intentionally delayed human …

Currently numerous approaches with various applicability have been generated in order to
detect damage in pipe networks. Pipeline faults such as leaks and partial or complete …

Predicting the solutions of complex systems is a crucial challenge. Complexity exists
because of the uncertainty as well as nonlinearity. The nonlinearity in complex systems …
