In this paper, we investigate the existence of a positive solution of fully fuzzy linear equation systems where fuzzy coefficient matrix is a positive matrix. This paper mainly discusses a new decomposition of a nonsingular fuzzy matrix, a symmetric matrix times to a triangular (ST) decomposition. By this decomposition, every nonsingular fuzzy matrix can be represented as a product of a fuzzy s...

We study the qualitative behavior of the positive solutions of a second-order rational fuzzy difference equationwith initial conditions being positive fuzzy numbers, and parameters are positive fuzzy numbers. More precisely, we investigate existence of positive solutions, boundedness and persistence, and stability analysis of a second-order fuzzy rational difference equation. Some numerical exa...

Received 17 September 2011; revised 10 November 2011; accepted 17 November 2011. ———————————————————————————————Abstract In this paper, the fuzzy solution of non-linear fuzzy Volterra integro-differential equation (NFIDE) is approximated. To do this, we define a sequence of fuzzy functions which approximate the fuzzy solution of this type of equations and finally, we estimate upper bound of the...

In this paper, we study the existence, asymptotic behavior of the positive solutions of a fuzzy nonlinear difference equation xn+1 = Axn + xn−1 B + xn−1 , n = 0, 1, · · · , where (xn) is a sequence of positive fuzzy number, A,B are positive fuzzy numbers and the initial conditions x−1, x0 are positive fuzzy numbers.

In a continuous-time fuzzy stochastic system, a stopping model with fuzzy stopping times is presented. The optimal fuzzy stopping times are given under an assumption of regularity for stopping rules. Also, the optimal fuzzy reward is characterized as a unique solution of an optimality equation under a differentiability condition. An example in the Markov models is discussed.

distinguishing productive zones of a drilled oil well plays a very important role for petroleum engineers to decide where to perforate to produce oil. conventionally, net pay zones are determined by applying a set of cut-offs on perophysical logs. as a result, the conventional method finds productive intervals crisply. in this investigation, a net index value is proposed, then; diffusivity equa...

In this paper, we use parametric form of fuzzy number and we converta fuzzy linear system to two linear system in crisp case. Conditions for the existence of a minimal solution to $mtimes n$ fuzzy linear equation systems are derived and a numerical procedure for calculating the minimal solution is designed. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the proposed method.

Introduction Time discretization approximation schemes for solutions of stochastic dierential equations have been studied by many people and are treated, e.g. in the book of Kloeden-Platen [Kl-Pl92]. Since heat kernels are the probability densities of the law of solutions, it might be worthwhile to ask if these approximation schemes provide a natural scheme of approximation for heat kenrnels. P...

Complexities of geological processes portrayed as certain feature in a map (e.g., faults) are natural sources of uncertainties in decision-making for exploration of mineral deposits. Besides natural sources of uncertainties, knowledge-driven (e.g., fuzzy logic) mineral prospectivity mapping (MPM) is also plagued and incurs further uncertainty in subjective judgment of analyst when there is no r...

This paper presents a new method for fuzzy system reliability analysis based on fuzzy semi-markov model with fuzzy transitions. The definition and the basic equation for interval transitions of a semi-markov model with fuzzy transitions are provided. The transitions for the above model with fuzzy states is provided for the non-homogeneous case. We apply this fuzzy technique to ATM transactions ...
