Assignment problem is a well-known topic and is used very often in solving problems of engineering and management science. In this problem denotes the cost for assigning the job to the person. This cost is usually deterministic in nature. In this paper has been considered to be triangular or trapezoidal fuzzy numbers denoted by ̃ which are more realistic and general in nature. A new ranking meth...

Many variants of fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering method are applied to crisp numbers but only a few of them are extended to non-crisp numbers, mainly due to the fact that the latter needs complicated equations and exhausting calculations. Vector form of fuzzy c-means (VFCM), proposed in this paper, simplifies the FCM clustering method applying to non-crisp (symbolic interval and fuzzy) numbers. ...

In this paper, we first of all define the distance measure entitled generalized Hausdorff distance between two trapezoidal generalized fuzzy numbers (TGFNs) that has been introduced by Chen [10]. Then using a other distance and combining with generalized Hausdorff distance, we define the similarity measure. The basic properties of the above mentioned similarity measure are proved in detail. Fin...

The purpose of this research paper was to propose a method which can be utilized to determine the different types of performance measures on the basis of the crisp values for the fuzzy queuing model which has an unreliable server and where the rate of arrival, the rate of service, the rate of breakdown and the rate of repair are all expressed as the fuzzy numbers. In this case the inter arrival...

In this paper, we consider moment properties for a class of quadratic adaptive fuzzy numbers defined in Dubois and Prade [D. Dubois, H. Prade, Fuzzy Sets and Systems: Theory and Applications, Academic Press, New York, 1980]. The corresponding moments of Trapezoidal Fuzzy Numbers (Tr.F.N’s) and Triangular Fuzzy Numbers (T.F.N’s) turn out to be special cases of the adaptive fuzzy number [S. Bodja...

The objective of this paper is to present multi-criteria group decision making in intuitionistic fuzzy environment based on grey relational analysis for weaver selection in Khadi institution. Weaver selection is a group decision making process involving qualitative and quantitative criteria. Intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy weighted arithmetic average operator and intuitionistic trapezoidal fuz...

A b s t r a c t . Numerous authors have proposed functions to quantify the degree of similarity between two fuzzy numbers using various descriptive parameters, such as the geometric distance, the distance between the centers of gravity or the perimeter. However, these similarity functions have drawbacks for specific situations. We propose a new similarity measure for generalized trapezoidal fuz...

As an extension of the intuitionistic fuzzy set, intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy set is an invaluable mathematical theory to express uncertain phenomenon in our real word. In this article, the aggregation methods of the intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy information are chief researched. Firstly, the generalized aggregation operator is introduced for aggregating intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy ...

Soft set theory is a newly emerging mathematical tool to deal with uncertain problems. The Parameterization tools of soft set theory enhance the flexibility of its applications to different problems. In this paper, we apply fuzzy soft set technology through the well known Sanchez’s approach for Medical Diagnosis using arithmetic operations on Trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and exhibit the technique ...

In this paper, we present a new method to handle fuzzy multiple attributes group decision-making problems. First, we construct fuzzy importance matrices for decision-makers with respect to attributes and construct fuzzy evaluating matrices for decision-makers with respect to attributes of the alternatives. Then, based on the fuzzy importance matrices and the fuzzy evaluating matrices, we can ge...
