Applied Mathematics and Computational Intelligence : ICAMCI-2020, Tripura, India, December 23-24

This book contains select papers presented at the International Conference on Applied Mathematics and Computational Intelligence (ICAMCI-2020), held at the National Institute of Technology Agartala, Tripura, India, from 19–20 March 2020. It discusses the most recent breakthroughs in intelligent techniques such as fuzzy logic, neural networks, optimization algorithms, and their application in the development of intelligent information systems by using applied mathematics. The book also explains how these systems will be used in domains such as intelligent control and robotics, pattern recognition, medical diagnosis, time series prediction, and complicated problems in optimization. 

The book publishes new developments and advances in various areas of type-3 fuzzy, intuitionistic fuzzy, computational mathematics, block chain, creak analysis, supply chain, soft computing, fuzzy systems, hybrid intelligent systems, thermos-elasticity, etc. The book is targeted to researchers, scientists, professors, and students of mathematics, computer science, applied science and engineering, interested in the theory and applications of intelligent systems in real-world applications. It provides young researchers and students with new directions for their future study by exchanging fresh thoughts and finding new problems.
