Nan et al. [J.-X. Nan, D.-F. Li and M.-J. Zhang, A lexicographic method for matrix games with payoffs of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, International Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems 3(3) (2010) 280-289] pointed out that there is no method in the literature to find the solution of such matrix games in which payoffs are represented by triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number...

An adhesive-bonded single lap joint is analyzed using a new fuzzy finite element model. In the model, Young’s moduli and Poisson’s ratios of the joint materials are taken as fuzzy numbers in order to take the uncertainty of the material properties into account. The fuzzy numbers are modeled using linear triangular membership functions. At a selected material point in the adhesive layer, the pos...

In this paper, we discuss the analysis of students’ evaluation, especially in the case of the students’ answerscripts under the evaluation grade of linguistic data. We transfer mostly linguistic data, subjective message into triangular fuzzy numbers, and use the function principle instead of the extension principle to calculate the students’ score. In addition to, we use the degree of similarit...

This paper deals with ridge estimation of fuzzy nonparametric regression models using triangular fuzzy numbers. This estimation method is obtained by implementing ridge regression learning algorithm in the Lagrangian dual space. The distance measure for fuzzy numbers that suggested by Diamond is used and the local linear smoothing technique with the crossvalidation procedure for selecting the o...

Recent research is recognizing that multiple criteria analysis should take account of the concepts of uncertainty and risk. In some cases, precise determination of the exact value of alternatives and weights of criteria is difficult. Consequently, to deal with these potential problems, their values are regarded as fuzzy and intervals. This paper proposes an interval-valued fuzzy multiple criter...

511  Abstract — In this paper, we present a new method to measure the similarity between features using fuzzy numbers. The proposed method uses the concept of geometry to calculate the degree of similarity between triangular fuzzy numbers defined on the features. We also prove some properties of the proposed similarity measure and use different data sets to compare the proposed method with exi...

This paper presents solution technique of geometric programming with fuzzy parameters to solve structural model. Here we are considered all fuzzy parameters as a generalized fuzzy number i.e. generalized triangular fuzzy number and generalized trapezoidal fuzzy number. Here material density of the bar, permissible stress of each bar and applied load are fuzzy numbers. We use geometric programmi...

Direct implementation of extended arithmetic operators on fuzzy numbers is computationally complex. Implementation of the extension principle is equivalent to solving a nonlinear programming problem. To overcome this difficulty many applications limit the membership functions to certain shapes, usually either triangular fuzzy numbers (TFN) or trapezoidal fuzzy numbers (TrFN). Then calculation o...

increasing global notices in environmental protection, green supply chain management (gscm) has received much attention by researchers and managers more than the past. commonly, firms have considered cost criteria to select their suppliers. despite the fact that there are various papers considering the formal criteria in supplier selection, there is a few limited numbers considering the environ...

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 ...
