MINIMAL SOLUTION OF INCONSISTENT FUZZY MATRIX EQUATIONS

Fuzzy liner systems of equations, play a major role in several applications in various area such as engineering, physics and economics. In this paper, we investigate the existence of a minimal solution of inconsistent fuzzy matrix equation. Also some numerical examples are considered.
