Abstract:

In this paper we propose a new method for ranking Z- numbers and generalizations. This method is based on the internal structure of the artificial neural network, which suggests that the structure of this network consists of inputs weights and the transfer function linear, nonlinear and sometimes linear and nonlinear. It is shown that the proposed method while possessing the ranking properties for Z -numbers whose components of the limiting part are equal and their confidence interval having the same center of gravity has a more logical ranking than those using the center of gravity. While some of the available methods for Z numbers whose boundaries are equal but not equal to their reliability but have the same focal gravity they rank equally which can not be logical in all cases. Therefore, the proposed method overcomes this problem. In some examples the correctness of the subject is shown. the results are compared with some existing methods.

A New Method for Ranking Fuzzy Numbers By the Center Of ‎Mass‎

In this paper , we present the first moment has been defined based on the center of mass from the fuzzy number, then with calculating area between the center of mass, a new ranking method has been proposed. At last we present some numerical examples to illustrate our proposed method, then comparing with distance index ranking method.

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...

A novel parametric ranking method for intuitionistic fuzzy numbers

Since the inception of intuitionistic fuzzy sets in 1986, many authors have proposed different methods for ranking intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFNs). How ever, due to the complexity of the problem, a method which gives a satisfactory result to all situations is a challenging task. Most of them contained some shortcomings, such as requirement of complicated calculations, inconsistency with hum...

REVISION OF SIGN DISTANCE METHOD FOR RANKING OF FUZZY NUMBERS

Recently, Abbasbandy and Asady have been proposed a modificationof the distance based approach, namely ``sign distance method''.However, in this paper, it is shown that this method has some drawbacks, i.e.,the result is not consistent with human intuition for specialcases and this method cannot always logically infer rankingorder of the images of the fuzzy numbers. In this paper, wepresent a re...
