Most of the researches in the domain of fuzzy number comparisons serve the fuzzy number ordering purpose. For making a comparison between two fuzzy numbers, beyond the determination of their order, it is needed to derive the magnitude of their order. In line with this idea, the concept of inequality is no longer crisp however it becomes fuzzy in the sense of representing partial belonging or de...

different methods have been proposed for finding the non-negative solution of fully fuzzy linear system (ffls) i.e. fuzzy linear system with fuzzy coefficients involving fuzzy variables. to the best of our knowledge, there is no method in the literature for finding the non-negative solution of a ffls without any restriction on the coefficient matrix. in this paper a new computational method is ...

generally, an engineering design problem has multiple objective functions. some of these problems can be formulated as multiobjective geometric programming models. on the other hand,often in the real world, coefficients of the objective functions are not known precisely. coefficients may be interpreted as fuzzy numbers, which lead to a multiobjective geometric programming with fuzzy parameters....

The operations in the set of fuzzy numbers are usually obtained bythe Zadeh extension principle. But these definitions can have some disadvantagesfor the applications both by an algebraic point of view and by practicalaspects. In fact the Zadeh multiplication is not distributive with respect tothe addition, the shape of fuzzy numbers is not preserved by multiplication,the indeterminateness of t...

The sequence X = {Ark } of fuzzy numbers is statistically convergent to the fuzzy number 3(o provided that for each e ~ 0 lim l{the number ofk~e} = 0. n In this paper we study a related concept of convergence in which the set {k: k<~n} is replaced by {k: kr-1 -~k<~kr} for some lacunary sequence {k~}. Also we introduce the concept of lacunary statistically Cauchy sequence and show...
