Abstract:

Ranking fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in linguistic decision making and other fuzzy application systems. In spite of many ranking methods, no one can rank fuzzy numbers with human intuition consistently in all cases. Shortcoming are found in some of the convenient methods for ranking triangular fuzzy numbers such as the coefficient of variation (CV index), distance between fuzzy sets, centroid point and original point, and also weighted mean value. In this paper, we introduce a new method for ranking triangular fuzzy number to overcome the shortcomings of the previous techniques. Finally, we compare our method with some convenient methods for ranking fuzzy numbers to illustrate the advantage our method.

An Ordering Method For Intuitionistic Fuzzy Numbers

In this paper first we review two ranking methods for intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IF numbers), then we proposed a new ordering method for IF numbers in which we consider two characteristic values of membership and non-membership for an IF number. Key-Words: Intuitionistic Fuzzy Number, Ranking Function Methods, Characteristic Value

A new attitude coupled with the basic thinking to ordering for ranking fuzzy ‎numbers

‎Ranking fuzzy numbers is generalization of the concepts of order, and class, and so have fundamental applications. Moreover, deriving the final efficiency and powerful ranking are helpful to decision makers when solving fuzzy problems. Selecting a good ranking method can apply to choosing a desired criterion in a fuzzy environment. There are numerous methods proposed for the ranking of fuzzy n...

New centroid index for ordering fuzzy numbers

Ranking fuzzy numbers is an important tool in decision process. In fuzzy decision analysis, fuzzy quantities are used to describe the performance of alternative in modeling a real-world problem. Most of the ranking procedures proposed so far in literature cannot discriminate fuzzy quantities and some are counterintuitive. As fuzzy numbers are represented by possibility distributions, they may o...

Project Scheduling Method Using Triangular Intuitionistic Fuzzy Numbers and Triangular Fuzzy Numbers

The critical path problem is a classical and important network optimization problem appearing in many applications, especially in planning and controlling the complex projects. However the result of classical critical path method computation cannot properly match the real-world problem. This gives rise to fuzzy environment and hence we have fuzzy critical path method. In this paper, two differe...

FUZZY RISK ANALYSIS BASED ON A NEW METHOD FOR RANKING GENERALIZED FUZZY NUMBERS

Fuzzy risk analysis, as a powerful tool to address uncertain information, can provide an appropriate method for risk analysis. However, the previous fuzzy risk analysis methods still have some weaknesses. To overcome the weaknesses of existing fuzzy risk analysis methods, a novel method for ranking generalized fuzzy numbers is proposed for addressing fuzzy risk analysis problems. In the propose...
