measurement systems analysis (msa) has been applied in different aspect of industrial assessments to evaluate various types of quantitative and qualitative measures. qualification of a measurement system depends on two important features: accuracy and precision. since the capability of each quality system is severely related to the capability of its measurement system, the weakness of the two ...

The commonly accepted theory of fuzzy numbers (Czogała and Pedrycz, 1985) is that set up by Dubois and Prade (1978), who proposed a restricted class of membership functions, called (L,R)–numbers with shape functions L and R. However, approximations of fuzzy functions and operations are needed if one wants to follow Zadeh’s (Zadeh 1975; 1983) extension principle. It leads to some drawbacks that ...

This paper presents certain important aspects of the fuzzy logic extension, one of which is OFN. It includes basic definitions of that discipline. It also compares fuzzy logic arithmetic with the arithmetic of ordered fuzzy numbers in L-R notation. Computational experiments were based on fuzzy observation of the impounding basin. The results of the study show that there is a connection between ...

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Abstract In this paper, the researcher proposes a modi ed new method to rank L-R fuzzy numbers. The modi ed method uses a defuzzi cation of parametrically represented fuzzy numbers that have been studied in [20]. This parameterized defuzzi cation can be used as a crisp approximation with respect to a fuzzy quantity. In this article, the researcher uses this defuzz...

Quadratic programming (QP) is an optimization problem wherein one minimizes (or maximizes) a quadratic function of a finite number of decision variable subject to a finite number of linear inequality and/ or equality constraints. In this paper, a quadratic programming problem (FFQP) is considered in which all cost coefficients, constraints coefficients, and right hand side are characterized by ...

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, with the help of several counter examples it is proved that ranking method proposed by Chen and Chen (Expert Syst Appl 36:6833–6842, 2009) is incorrect. The main aim of this paper is to propose a new approac...
