Two probabilistic models are discussed in this paper. Model I is a serial network device consisting of three A, B and C subsystems, with a C subsystem consisting of three out of six elements. Model II is a serial network system consisting of three subsystems A, B and C, with subsystem C consisting of 2-out-of-6 components. The failure and repair time of the running and standby components is believed to be exponentially distributed. The system of first-order linear differential equations is developed and resolved to obtain explicit expressions for steady-state availability and mean failure time for each model. In addition, both numerical and theoretical comparisons were conducted. Results have shown that Model II was the best in terms of availability, mean time failure and cost benefit ratio}, keywords = {Availability,Mean time to failure,network,Reliability}, url = {https://aotp.fabad-ihe.ac.ir/article_120966.html}, eprint = {https://aotp.fabad-ihe.ac.ir/article_120966_e5ef4d9d4efebe8d34c0e46165d91602.pdf} } @article { author = {Hassanpour, Malek}, title = {Classification of seven Iranian recycling industries using MCDM models}, journal = {Annals of Optimization Theory and Practice}, volume = {3}, number = {4}, pages = {37-52}, year = {2020}, publisher = {Firouzabad Institute of Higher Education}, issn = {2588-3666}, eissn = {2588-5995}, doi = {10.22121/aotp.2020.255681.1050}, abstract = {Abstract Iranian recycling industries deal with generating lots of new materials and products. The value added to the national assets is impressive by the industries. The present research collected the initial data of recycling industries based on assessments completed by the evaluator team in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). The objective of the current study was allocated to develop a new classification for recycling industries. The industries classified with regard to input and output networks introduced into industries cycles that were picked up from the screening step of projects in EIA. To classify the industries was employed Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) models along with Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in combination with Additive Ratio Assessment (ARAS) model. The industries were ranked based on the materials and energy streams. The weighing system of CRiteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) was used to conduct the special vector into ranking systems. Findings confirmed full coincidence and compliance among 6 MCDM models applied as a sensitivity analysis. It can be concluded that the Nominal Capacity (NC) of industries plays the main role to sort out all recycling industries into a certain class and place them in a separate class pertain to energy and materials streams.}, keywords = {Classification,Iranian recycling industries,MCDM Models,EIA,Screening}, url = {https://aotp.fabad-ihe.ac.ir/article_120882.html}, eprint = {https://aotp.fabad-ihe.ac.ir/article_120882_6c6e0ec8e3a7acb970a7b2abc7f00642.pdf} } @article { author = {Lezgi, Alinaghi and Nemati, Amir Hossein}, title = {Mathematical modeling of the strategy of the battle of Siffin}, journal = {Annals of Optimization Theory and Practice}, volume = {3}, number = {4}, pages = {53-64}, year = {2020}, publisher = {Firouzabad Institute of Higher Education}, issn = {2588-3666}, eissn = {2588-5995}, doi = {10.22121/aotp.2020.214708.1027}, abstract = {Mathematics has been applied to all sciences; and religious and military sciences are no exception, and mathematics can be used highly to design different war operations and solve battlefield equations to gain relative or absolute superiority over the enemy.

By introducing the just-in-time (JIT) production principle, it can be proven that the U-shaped assembly line system has a better performance than the traditional straight-line system. Different test problems from the literature are solved and key indexes like the line efficiency, smoothness index, and variation, are calculated for the problems.
