the leopard moth, zeuzera pyrina (l.) (lepidoptera: cossidae) is a serious pest of walnut and apple trees in iran. one of the control methods for this pest is the mass trapping of males using pheromone traps. to determine the best size and color of traps, four different colors (green, yellow, white, gray) and two different sizes (delta shape with standard adhesive surface, 19 × 22 cm and trapez...

Abstract The well-known Karush-Kuhn-Tucker theorem can be used, as in the fuzzy case, to find the trapezoidal approximation of a given intuitionistic fuzzy number. The method is quite technical such that obtaining the trapezoidal approximation of an intuitionistic fuzzy numbers from the trapezoidal approximation of a fuzzy number is proposed in the present paper. Among the advantages of this me...

The main aim of this paper is to characterize the set of real parameters associated to a fuzzy number, represented in a general form which include the most important characteristics, with the following property: for any given fuzzy number there exists at least a trapezoidal fuzzy number which preserves a fixed parameter. The uniqueness of the nearest trapezoidal fuzzy number with this property ...

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...

In this study, a new modeling method based on trapezoidal fuzzy number FAHP has been proposed to solve the problem of risk element transmission in enterprise project evaluation chain. We firstly put forward enterprise project chain risk element transmission and constructs enterprise project chain risk element transmission tetrahedron model and then proposed the theory of enterprise project eval...

The emergency service facilities location is one of the most important issues in the emergency management. This study focused on the location set covering problem (LSCP) for emergency service facilities under fuzzy environment. On the basis of defining the signed distance of trapezoidal fuzzy number, the ranking rules of trapezoidal fuzzy number are defined, the model of emergency service facil...
