In the current market economy, alliances play a key role in developing strategies across fields. In order to have a good partner, managers have used both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. This paper proposes a mathematical model to figure out the most suitable strategic partners. With input data from published financial reports, the authors use the data envelopment analysis (DEA) to evaluate the business efficiency of the steel companies in the period of 2011-2019. Then, Grey system theory is applied to predict their performance in the future period. The findings recommend the two leading steel manufactures but having ineffective performance, the Hoa Sen Group, and the Pomina Steel Corporation, as the most feasible beneficial partnership. Managers and the government can take advantages of the model in order to implement and have overall plans of steel enterprise in the future.

This paper presents the data of multimodal functions that emulate the performance of an array of five photovoltaic modules under partial shading conditions. These functions were obtained through mathematical modeling and represent the P-V curves of a photovoltaic module with several local maximums and a global maximum. In addition, data from a feedforward neural network are shown, which represent an approximation of the multimodal functions that were obtained with mathematical modeling. The modeling of multimodal functions, the architecture of the neural network and the use of the data were discussed in our previous work entitled "Search for Global Maxima in Multimodal Functions by Applying Numerical optimization algorithms: A Comparison Between Golden Section and Simulated Annealing" [1]. Data were obtained through simulations in a C code, which were exported to DAT files and subsequently organized into four Excel tables. Each table shows the voltage and power data for the five modules of the photovoltaic array, for multimodal functions and for the approximation of the multimodal functions implemented by the artificial neural network. In this way, a dataset that can be used to evaluate the performance of optimization algorithms and system identification techniques applied in multimodal functions was obtained.

Water level forecasting is a critical technique for reservoir water resource management and flood early warning. This study addresses the limitations of the traditional Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network in terms of accuracy and generalization when handling complex hydrological data. To improve the precision and stability of LSTM in water level forecasting, four optimization algorithms-African Vulture optimization Algorithm (AVOA), Cuckoo Search (CS), Firefly Algorithm (FA), and Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO)-were introduced to optimize the LSTM model. The study employed a self-developed RIL scoring standard to comprehensively evaluate the models' performance. The results show that all optimized models significantly outperformed the traditional LSTM model. Among them, the GWO-LSTM achieved the best performance in terms of accuracy, with a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 0.1043 m, a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 0.1402 m, and the highest RIL score of 2.4364. The study confirms the effectiveness of combining optimization algorithms with LSTM models in water level forecasting, offering a method to significantly improve prediction accuracy. It also provides new directions for enhancing the model's generalization capability and adaptability. Accurate water level forecasting in large reservoirs not only provides a scientific basis for reservoir management but also has significant theoretical and practical implications for flood control, disaster mitigation, ecological protection, and the sustainable use of water resources.
