Smarandache Type Function Obtained by Duality

In this paper we extend the Smarandache function from the set $N*$ of positive integers to the set $Q$ pf rational numbers. Using the inverse formula, this function is also regarded as a generating function. We put in evidence a procedure to construct a (numerical) function starting from a given function in two particular cases. Also, connections between this function and Euler totient function as well as with Riemann zeta function are established.

Adaptative combination rule and proportional conflict redistribution rule for information fusion

This paper presents two new promising rules of combination for the fusion of uncertain and potentially highly conflicting sources of evidences in the framework of the theory of belief functions in order to palliate the well-know limitations of Dempster's rule and to work beyond the limits of applicability of the Dempster-Shafer theory. We present both a new class of adaptive combination rules (ACR) and a new efficient Proportional Conflict Redistribution (PCR) rule allowing to deal with highly conflicting sources for static and dynamic fusion applications.

Optimal Plant Layout Design for Process-focused Systems

In this paper we have proposed a semi-heuristic optimization algorithm for designing optimal plant layouts in process-focused manufacturing/service facilities. Being a semi-heuristic search, our algorithm is likely to be more efficient in terms of computer CPU engagement time as it tends to converge on the global optimum faster than the traditional CRAFT algorithm - a pure heuristic.
