In fuzzy decision problems, the ordering of fuzzy numbers is the basic problem. The fuzzy preference relation is the reasonable representation of preference relations by a fuzzy membership function. This paper studies Nakamura’s and Kołodziejczyk’s preference relations. Eight cases, each representing different levels of overlap between two triangular fuzzy numbers are considered. We analyze the...

In this paper we propose a fuzzy rule generation approach based on granular computing using rough mereology (FRGAGCRM). The proposed system works in two phases. In the first phase, the pre-processing phase which use fuzzification methodology which map the numeric dataset into categorical dataset according to membership function described in this paper. In other hand, the second phase consists o...

In this study, we consider two different inequivalent formulations of the logistic difference equation $x_{n+1}= beta x_n(1- x_n), n=0,1,..., $ where $x_n$ is a sequence of fuzzy numbers and $beta$ is a positive fuzzy number. The major contribution of this paper is to study the existence, uniqueness and global behavior of the solutions for two corresponding equations, using the concept of Huku...

Expansive clayey soils are highly moisture sensitive with respect to stress, deformation and strength. These soils exhibit extreme variation in deformation such as heaving, loss of shear strength under certain Moisture Content and settlement and shrinkage as the Moisture Content alters. Swelling is the process of increase in volume of soil that occurs during its interaction with water. Expansiv...

Ranking of fuzzy numbers play an important role in decision making, optimization, forecasting. In fuzzy decision making problems fuzzy numbers must be ranked before an action is taken by a decision maker. Chen and Li have proposed on “Representation, ranking, and distance of fuzzy number with exponential membership function using grade mean integration method" by ranking index for ranking expon...

Complex numbers can capture compound features and convey multifaceted information; thereby providing means for solving complicated problems. In this paper, we combine the degree of membership and a degree of non-membership of members of Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets via complex numbers to characterize these fuzzy sets. This approach enables extending several concepts such as classical fuzzy sets, P...

Ranking of fuzzy numbers play an important role in decision making, optimization, forecasting etc. fuzzy numbers must be ranked before an action is taken by a decision maker. In this paper we propose a new approach of the fuzzy ranking of generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers based on radius of gyration point of centroids. The main advantage of the proposed approach is that the proposed approac...

Since Lotfi A. Zadeh introduced the concept of fuzzy sets in 1965, many authors have devoted their efforts to the study of these new sets, both from a theoretical and applied point of view. Fuzzy sets were later extended in order to get more adequate and flexible models of inference processes, where uncertainty, imprecision or vagueness is present. Type 2 fuzzy sets comprise one of such extensi...

We propose a new approach to assigning distance between fuzzy numbers. A pseudo-metric on the set of fuzzy numbers and a metric on the set of trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are described. The regular reducing functions and the Hausdorff metric are used to define the metric. Using this metric, we can approximate an arbitrary generalized left right fuzzy number with a trapezoidal one. Finally, powers ...

In the present paper, the researchers discuss the problem of weighted interval approximation of fuzzy numbers. This interval can be used as a crisp set approximation with respect to a fuzzy quantity. Then, by using this, the researchers propose a novel approach to ranking fuzzy numbers. This method can effectively rank various fuzzy numbers, their images and overcome the shortcomings of the pre...
