Performing arithmetic operations over the (L–R)-type fuzzy numbers

Prediction of Sulfate Scale Depositions in Oilfield Operations Using Arithmetic of LR Fuzzy Numbers

In this study fuzzy arithmetic is presented as a tool to tackle the prediction of the amount of barium, strontium and calcium sulfates scales in oilfield operations. Since the shape of fuzzy numbers’ membership functions is a spread representative of the whole possible values for a special model parameter, fuzzy numbers are able to consider the uncertainties in parameter determinations and thus...

Fuzzy Arithmetic with Parametric LR Fuzzy Numbers

Arithmetic Operations on Trapezoidal Fuzzy Numbers

In this paper, several new algebraic mathematics for positive fuzzy numbers of type (a,a,a,a) are devised and do not need the computation of α-cut of the fuzzy number. Direct mathematical expressions to evaluate exponential, square root, logarithms, inverse exponential etc. of positive fuzzy numbers of type (a,a,a,a) are obtained using the basic analytical principles of algebraic mathematics an...

Fuzzy arithmetic on LR fuzzy numbers with applications to fuzzy programming

In practice, some special LR fuzzy numbers, like the triangular fuzzy number, the Gaussian fuzzy number and the Cauchy fuzzy number, are widely used in many areas to deal with various vague information. With regard to these special LR fuzzy numbers, called regular LR fuzzy numbers in this paper, an operational law is proposed for fuzzy arithmetic, providing a novel approach to analytically and ...

Fuzzy Arithmetic for LR Fuzzy Numbers with Applications to Fuzzy Programming

LR fuzzy numbers are quite common in real world applications involving the triangular fuzzy number, the Gaussian fuzzy number, and the Cauchy fuzzy number as special cases. In this paper, we first prove that a fuzzy number is an LR fuzzy number if and only if its credibility distribution is strictly increasing. After that, based on credibility measure, an operational law on independent LR fuzzy...
