The evaluation of quality of the railway passenger service is an important way to know the quality of the railway passenger service. This paper firstly constructs an evaluation indicator system of the quality of the railway passenger service on the foundation of the related literatures, and constructs the multiple-attribute evaluation matrix and indicator weight vector based on the linguistic v...

To face the reality of practical multiple criteria problems usually possessing characters of fuzziness, and to consider group decision making with various subjective–objective backgrounds usually participating in decision-making process. In this paper, the experts’ opinions are described by linguistic terms which can be expressed in trapezoidal (or triangular) fuzzy numbers. To make the consens...

In this paper a genetic algorithms approach for solving the linear and quadratic fuzzy equations B x A ~ ~ ~ = and C x B x A ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 2 = + , where A~ , B~ , C~ and x ~ are fuzzy numbers is proposed by genetic algorithms. Our genetic based method initially starts with a set of random fuzzy solutions. Then in each generation of genetic algorithms, the solution candidates converge more to better...

Multiplicative operations for fuzzy numbers raise several problems both from the theoretical and practical point of view in fuzzy arithmetic. The multiplication based on Zadeh's extension principle and its triangular and trapezoidal approximation is used in several recent works in applications in geology. Recently, new product-type operation are introduced and studied, as e.g. the cross product...

This work presents the general idea of granular description of temporal signal, particularly biomedical signal sampled with constant frequency. The main idea of presented method is based on using triangular fuzzy numbers as information granules in temporal and amplitude spaces. The amplitude space contains values of first few derivatives of underlying signal. The construction of data granules i...

Ranking fuzzy numbers is a prerequisite for the decision making problem. In order to rank fuzzy quantities many researchers proposed and analyzed different techniques on triangular and trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. However, no one can claim their method is a satisfactory one. In this paper a modified distance based approach called signed distance proposed by Yao and Wu [9] is discussed. This propo...

In this paper the concept of (computational) verb number and arithmetical operations of verb numbers are presented. A verb number is a kind of special computational verb, which is derived from structures of (host) verb+(real, interval, fuzzy) number. From the linguistic point of view, a verb number is a computational verb with contexts defined by (real, interval, fuzzy) numbers. Verb numbers ca...

Quality function development (QFD) is a planning tools used to fulfill customer expectation and QFD is a systematic process to translating customer requirement (WHATs) into technical description (HOWs). QFD aims to maximize customer satisfactions related to enterprise satisfaction. The inherent fuzziness of relationships in QFD modeling justifies the use of fuzzy regression for estimating the r...

In this paper, we aim to extended the constraints of Tanaka’s model. Applied coefficients of the fuzzy regression by them is the symmetric triangular fuzzy numbers, while we try to replace it by more general asymmetric trapezoidal one. Possibility of two asymmetric trapezoidal fuzzy numbers is explained by possibility distribution. Two different models is presented and a numerical example is gi...

This note presents the characterization of the stability set of the first kind for multiobjective nonlinear programming (MONLP) problems with fuzzy parameters either in the constraints or in the objective functions without any differentiability assumptions. These fuzzy parameters are characterized by triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs). The existing results concerning the parametric space in convex...
