“…The grey system theory established by Professor Deng Julong provides a theoretical basis for studying the system of “partial information known and partial information unknown” (Deng, 1982). Its main research contents include grey algebra (Liu et al , 2010; Su et al , 2017; Aydemir, 2020; Mierzwiak et al , 2021), grey relational analysis (Yang et al , 2021a; Zhong et al , 2021; Cao et al , 2021), grey cluster (Luo et al , 2021), grey prediction (Li et al , 2021; Yang et al , 2021b; Quartey-Papafio et al , 2021), grey decision-making (Liu et al , 2017; Ma et al , 2021; Ali et al , 2022), grey control (Ahuja et al , 2021; Yang and Xue, 2017), grey programming (Mahmoudi et al , 2018; Asghari et al , 2021; Darvishi et al , 2021) and so on. Since the establishment of grey system theory, many scholars have paid great attention and obtained rich research results.…”
