A new algorithm namely, fuzzy zero point method is proposed for finding a fuzzy optimal solution for a fuzzy transportation problem where the transportation cost, supply and demand are trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. The optimal solution for the fuzzy transportation problem by the fuzzy zero point method is a trapezoidal fuzzy number. The solution procedure is illustrated with numerical example. Mat...

The prediction of an adequate amount of claim reserves is of the greatest importance to face the responsibilities assumed by an insurance company. Although many different deterministic and stochastic methods based on statistical analyses are used for claims analysis, presence of many internal and external factors that increase the uncertainty in insurance environment may lead to considerable lo...

The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is one of the most intensively studied problems in computational mathematics. Information about real life systems is often available in the form of vague descriptions. Hence, fuzzy methods are designed to handle vague terms, and are most suited to finding optimal solutions to problems with vague parameters. This study develops a fuzzy multi-objective linear ...

There is a programme in the formal foundations of fuzzy mathematics proposed by the authors, the goal of which is to encompass a large part of existing fuzzy mathematics within a general logical formalism. This paper presents the methodology behind this programme and reviews the technical aspects of a particular apparatus for this enterprise.

We define interval valued (∈,∈∨q)-fuzzy k-ideals, interval valued (∈,∈∨q)-fuzzy k-quasi-ideals, interval valued (∈,∈∨q)-fuzzy k-bi-ideals and characterize k-regular and k-intra regular hemirings by the properties of interval valued (∈,∈∨q)-fuzzy k-ideals, interval valued (∈,∈∨q)-fuzzy k-quasi-ideals and interval valued (∈,∈∨q)-fuzzy k-bi-ideals. 2010 mathematics subject classification: 16Y60 • ...

In this study, the risk for road traffic accidents on Ubungo – Chalinze route (Tanzania) is comprehensively evaluated and analysed using fuzzy techniques. After identifying the main risk factors for road traffic accidents, the experts’ judgements are used to establish each single factor evaluation fuzzy set. Eventually, the single factor evaluation matrix is multiplied by the risk factor weight...

The fuzzy p-ideals, fuzzy H-ideals and fuzzy BCI-positive implicative ideals of BCI-algebras are studied, and related properties are investigated. We also give some characterizations of these ideals. Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000). 03G25, 06F35, 06B99
