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 ...

In general fuzzy linear regression, the coefficients of the fuzzy regression model are symmetric triangular fuzzy numbers, while we try to replace them by more general ones, which are asymmetric trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Possibility of equality between two asymmetric trapezoidal fuzzy numbers is explained by possibility distribution. Two different models are presented in this paper. Furthermor...

In this paper, we present a new prioritization method for information fusion under fuzzy environment. We propose a new measure to measure the similarity between generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Based on the proposed similarity measure, we develop an utility function of generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. With the utility function of generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers, we propose a n...

Ranking of fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in linguistic decision making and some other fuzzy application systems. Several strategies have been proposed for ranking of fuzzy numbers. Each of these techniques has been shown to produce nonintuitive results in certain cases. In this paper, some new approaches for ranking of trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are introduced. Keywords— Magnitude of...

Many authors analyzed triangular and trapezoidal approximation of fuzzy numbers. But, to best of our knowledge, there is no method for symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy number approximation of fuzzy numbers. So, in this paper, we try to convert any fuzzy number into symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy number by using metric distance. This approximation helps us to avoid the computational complexity in the pr...

We propose a generalization of trapezoidal fuzzy numbers based on modal interval theory, which we name “modal interval trapezoidal fuzzy numbers”. In this generalization, we accept that the alpha cuts associated with a trapezoidal fuzzy number can be modal intervals, also allowing that two interval modalities can be associated with a trapezoidal fuzzy number. In this context, it is difficult to...

We have presented trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy number. Arithmetic operations of trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy number is presented based on (α, β)-cuts. We have presented intuitionistic fuzzy fault tree analysis using trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy number. In application of intuitionistic fuzzy fault tree analysis, we have computed failure of fire protection system taking failure of eac...

An approach for solving a matrix game whose pay off elements are symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy numbers is proposed. P.Grzegorzewski’s theorem[1]has been used to transform symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy numbers to interval fuzzy number such that length of all intervals are different.Acceptability index has been defined and ordering of fuzzy numbers has been established.

Methods for aggregating intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy information are investigated. Some operational laws of intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are introduced. Based on these operational laws, some aggregation operators, including intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (ITFOWA) operator and intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy hybrid aggregation (ITFHA) operator, are p...

With respect to multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems in which the attribute value takes the form of intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy number, a new decision making analysis method is developed. Firstly, some operational laws and expected values of intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy numbers, and distance between two intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy numbers, are introduced, and the com...
