The present study investigates whether updating an important function of executive control can be driven by unconscious reward cues. Participants had to memorize several numbers and update those numbers independently according to a sequence of arithmetic operations. At the beginning of each trial, a reward (1 euro or 5 cents) was presented, either subliminally or supraliminally. Participants could earn the reward if they found the correct response on the updating task. Results showed better performance when a high (conscious or unconscious) reward was at stake compared to a low reward. This suggests that subliminal information can influence a component process of executive control traditionally thought to require consciousness.

The existence of maximum point, oddity point and saddle point often leads to computation failure. The optimization idea is based on the reality that the optimum towards the local minimum related the initial point. After getting several optimal results with different initial point, the best result is taken as the final optimal result. The arithmetic improvement of multi-dimension Newton method is improved. The improvement is important for the optimization method with grads convergence rule or searching direction constructed by grads. A computational example with a saddle point, maximum point and oddity point is studied by multi-dimension Newton method, damped Newton method and Newton direction method. The importance of the idea of blind walking repeatedly is testified. Owing to the parallel arithmetic of modernistic optimization method, it does not need to study optimization problem with seriate feasible domain by modernistic optimization method.

AbstractIn a real world situation, whenever ambiguity exists in the modeling of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFNs), interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IVIFNs) are often used in order to represent a range of IFNs unstable from the most pessimistic evaluation to the most optimistic one. IVIFNs are a construction which helps us to avoid such a prohibitive complexity. This paper is focused on two types of arithmetic operations on interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IVIFNs) to solve the interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy multi-objective linear programming problem with pentagonal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (PIFNs) by assuming differentαandβcut values in a comparative manner. The objective functions involved in the problem are ranked by the ratio ranking method and the problem is solved by the preemptive optimization method. An illustrative example with MATLAB outputs is presented in order to clarify the potential approach.
