In the present paper, a new family of lifetime distributions is introduced via odd ratio function, the well-known concept in survival analysis and reliability engineering. Some important properties of the proposed model including survival function, quantile function, hazard function, order statistic...

In this paper we study the existence of local analytic first integrals for complex polynomial differential systems of the form ẋ = x + Pn(x, y), ẏ = −y, where Pn(x,y) is a homogeneous polynomial of degree n, called the complex homogeneous Kukles systems of degree n. We characterize all the homogeneous...

Multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) has been receiving great attention in recent years due to two major issues which are basically to describe attribute values and secondly to aggregate the described information to generate a ranking of alternatives. For the first case it entails the hesitant fuzzy...
