-This study presents an approximate approach for ranking fuzzy numbers based on the left and right dominance. The proposed approach only requires a few left and right spreads at some a-levels of fuzzy numbers to determine the respective dominance of one fuzzy number over the other. The total dominance is then determined by combining the left and right dominance based on a decision maker's optim...

triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (tifns) is a special case of intuitionistic fuzzy (if) set and the ranking of tifns is an important problem. the aim of this paper is to develop a new methodology for ranking tifns by using multiattribute decision making methods (madm). in this methodology, the value and ambiguity indices of tifns may be considered as the attributes and the tifns in compa...

In this study the author discusses the problem of defuzzification by minimizing the weighted distance between two fuzzy quantities. Also, this study obtains the nearest point with respect to a fuzzy number and shows that this point is unique relative to the weighted distance. By utilizing this point, a method is presented for effectively ranking fuzzy numbers and their images to overcome the de...

Abstract In this paper we have investigated a fuzzy linear programming problem with fuzzy quantities which are LR triangular fuzzy numbers. The given linear programming problem is rearranged according to the satisfactory level of constraints using breaking point method. By considering the constraints, the arranged problem has been investigated for all optimal solutions connected with satisf...

Migration of Virtual Machine (VM) is a critical challenge in cloud computing. The process to move VMs or applications from one Physical Machine (PM) to another is known as VM migration. In VM migration several issues should be considered. One of the major issues in VM migration problem is selecting an appropriate PM as a destination for a migrating VM. To face this issue, several approaches are...

Recently, a novel hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) ranking technique based on the idea of lexicographical ordering is proposed and an example is presented to demonstrate that the proposed ranking method is invariant with multiple occurrences of any element of a hesitant fuzzy element (HFE). In this paper, we show by examples that the HFS lexicographical ordering method is sometimes invalid, and a modif...

The present study aimed at ranking and selecting the superior geothermal project for hydrogen production in 14 provinces of Iran using a multi-objective optimization fuzzy hybrid approach through analyzing the ratio (fuzzy Moora) and expanded entropy weighting method. In this research, the extended entropy weighing method and the Fuzzy-Moora approach were utilized to weigh the criteria and proj...

We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a ranking index defined on the set of triangular fuzzy numbers as a linear combination of its components to rank effectively. Then, based on this result, we characterize the class of ranking indices which generates orderings on triangular fuzzy numbers satisfying the basic requirements by Wang and Kerre in a slightly modified form.

In this paper, we want represented a method for ranking of two exponential trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. A median value is proposed for the ranking of exponential trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. For the validation the results of the proposed approach are compared with different existing approaches.
