Noves tècniques de gestió per a l'empresa promotora constructora

En el sector de la promoció construcció, i en especial, en el subsector de la promoció construcció d'habitatges, l'empresari ha de tenir un bon coneixement de les variables d'entorn ja que la consideració de les mateixes seran fonamentals a l'hora de prendre decisions sobre planificació estratègica. En l'actualitat vivim una fase de canvis socioeconòmics que dificulten la previsió del comportament futur de les variables d'entorn. Per tant, el subjecte decisor es troba en un ambient d'incertesa que s'aguditza per la majoritària presència de factors qualitatius difícils de quantificar. Llavors, l'empresari promotor constructor haurà de recórrer a tècniques operatives de gestió que tinguin present aquesta situació i això serà possible a partir de les eines que ens ofereix la lògica borrosa. Aquesta tesi s'ha estructurat en tres parts: En la primera part, exposem les característiques específiques i l'evolució del sector. En la segona part, expliquem la metodologia i, en la tercera part, exposem diverses aplicacions de la metodologia borrosa per l'establiment de noves estratègies de gestió aplicades al sector objecte d'estudi.

Discovering similarities in the time use patterns of the Spanish Autonomous Communities by Fuzzy techniques

In 2000 the European Statistical Office published the guidelines for developing the Harmonized European Time Use Surveys system. Under such a unified framework, the first Time Use Survey of national scope was conducted in Spain during 2002– 03. The aim of these surveys is to understand human behavior and the lifestyle of people. Time allocation data are of compositional nature in origin, that is, they are subject to non-negativity and constant-sum constraints. Thus, standard multivariate techniques cannot be directly applied to analyze them. The goal of this work is to identify homogeneous Spanish Autonomous Communities with regard to the typical activity pattern of their respective populations. To this end, fuzzy clustering approach is followed. Rather than the hard partitioning of classical clustering, where objects are allocated to only a single group, fuzzy method identify overlapping groups of objects by allowing them to belong to more than one group. Concretely, the probabilistic fuzzy c-means algorithm is conveniently adapted to deal with the Spanish Time Use Survey microdata. As a result, a map distinguishing Autonomous Communities with similar activity pattern is drawn. Key words: Time use data, Fuzzy clustering; FCM; simplex space; Aitchison distance

A Homogeneous Set-Theoretical Frame for Clustering Fuzzy Relational Data

Our purpose is to provide a set-theoretical frame to clustering fuzzy relational data basically based on cardinality of the fuzzy subsets that represent objects and their complementaries, without applying any crisp property. From this perspective we define a family of fuzzy similarity indexes which includes a set of fuzzy indexes introduced by Tolias et al, and we analyze under which conditions it is defined a fuzzy proximity relation. Following an original idea due to S. Miyamoto we evaluate the similarity between objects and features by means the same mathematical procedure. Joining these concepts and methods we establish an algorithm to clustering fuzzy relational data. Finally, we present an example to make clear all the process

Effective atomic orbitals for fuzzy atoms

The method of extracting effective atomic orbitals and effective minimal basis sets from molecular wave function characterizing the state of an atom in a molecule is developed in the framework of the "fuzzy" atoms. In all cases studied, there were as many effective orbitals that have considerable occupation numbers as orbitals in the classical minimal basis. That is considered to be of high conceptual importance

Energy partitioning for "fuzzy" atoms

The total energy of molecule in terms of 'fuzzy atoms' presented as sum of one- and two-atomic energy components is described. The divisions of three-dimensional physical space into atomic regions exhibit continuous transition from one to another. The energy components are on chemical energy scale according to proper definitions. The Becke's integration scheme and weight function determines realization of method which permits effective numerical integrations

Fuzzy set Theory and Quantum Chemistry

Es discuteixen breument algunes consideracions sobre l'aplicació de la Teoria dels Conjunts difusos a la Química quàntica. Es demostra aqui que molts conceptes químics associats a la teoria són adequats per ésser connectats amb l'estructura dels Conjunts difusos. També s'explica com algunes descripcions teoriques dels observables quàntics es potencien tractant-les amb les eines associades als esmentats Conjunts difusos. La funció densitat es pren com a exemple de l'ús de distribucions de possibilitat al mateix temps que les distribucions de probabilitat quàntiques
