In the actual algorithm it is actually give as,

calculate b(1): b1[(m-1)*beta+1-m*b1]^m = [(m-1)beta]^m-1[(m-1)beta-m)b1+1]

How do I decide the value for b1?

Do you know the other values (m, beta)? Then you could use the solving tool, to get the value for b1:

    b(1)=solve('function','variable');

where in your case you insert your whole function as function and b1 as variable.

Otherwise you should maybe clarify your question, what are you exactly looking for

  • the algorithm is based on OWA operator, we use this alg to calculate the weight vector and we give m and beta as input, where m is "no of weights" and beta is the "magnifying factor. Now I dont know how to select or calculate the value of b(1) or b1. – charvi Aug 27 '14 at 04:22
  • refer algorithm 3 in this http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=6475238 – charvi Aug 27 '14 at 04:23
  • Didn't have the time read the paper, but as far as I understand you, b1 is your only unknown variable in the equalation. So you have to search for a value of b1 such that the equalation holds. This is exactly what the solve() function in matlab does. The output (at least if there is a numeric solution) then is the b1 you are looking for. Please comment, if you have any problems regarding the inputs for solve(). – Iris Aug 28 '14 at 09:50
