The importance as well as the difficulty of the problem of ranking fuzzy numbers is pointed out. Here we consider approaches to the ranking of fuzzy numbers based upon the idea of associating with a fuzzy number a scalar value, its signal/noise ratios, where the signal and the noise are defined as the middle-point and the spread of each γ-cut of a fuzzy number, respectively. We use the value of...

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

In this paper attention has been paid to the study of a new ranking procedure for trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy number (TRIFN). There are numerous methods for ranking of simple fuzzy numbers but, we lack of effective methods for ranking of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFN). To serve the purpose, the value and ambiguity index of TRIFNs have been defined. In order to rank TRIFNs, we have defi...

In this paper, we consider a two persons zero sum game with imprecise values in payoff matrix. All the imprecise values are assumed to be octagonal fuzzy numbers. An approach for solving problems by using ranking of the fuzzy numbers has been considered to solve the fuzzy game problem. By using ranking to the payoffs we convert the fuzzy valued game problem to crisp valued game problem, which c...

This study presents an approximate approach for ranking fuzzy numbers based on the centroid point of a fuzzy number and its area. The total approximate is determined by convex combining of fuzzy number’s relative and its area that based on decision maker’s optimistic perspectives. The proposed approach is simple in terms of computational efforts and is efficient in ranking a large quantity of f...
