In this paper, we want to represent a method for ranking of two exponential trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. In this study a new Cardinality between exponential trapezoidal fuzzy numbers is proposed. Cardinality in this method is relatively simple and easier in computation and ranks various types of exponential fuzzy numbers. For the validation the results of the proposed approach are compared with d...

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 Systems with Applications 36 (2009) 6833-6842) is incorrect. The main aim of this paper is to prop...

Fuzzy number approximation by trapezoidal fuzzy numbers which preserves the expected interval is discussed. New algorithms for calculating the proper trapezoidal approximation of fuzzy numbers with respect to the distance based on bi-symmetrical weighted functions are proposed. It is shown that the adequate approximation operator is chosen with respect both to the global spread of a fuzzy numbe...

In many real life problems, the parameters used to characterize the uncertainty or vagueness or impreciseness in information are either triangular or trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. But it is not always possible to restrict the membership function to either triangular or trapezoidal form. In this paper, a new form of non-normal fuzzy number named as Heptagonal fuzzy number is introduced and its arit...

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 we propose a new approach of the fuzzy ranking of generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers based on radius of gyration point of centroids. The main advantage of the proposed approach is that the proposed approac...

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...

in this paper the solution of a second order linear dierential equations with intu-itionistic fuzzy boundary value is described. it is discussed for two dierent cases: coecientis positive crisp number and coecient is negative crisp number. here fuzzy numbers aretaken as generalized trapezoidal intutionistic fuzzy numbers (gtrifns). further a numericalexample is illustrated.

A new algorithm namely, fuzzy zero point method is proposed for finding a fuzzy optimal solution for a fuzzy transportation problem where the transportation cost, supply and demand are trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. The optimal solution for the fuzzy transportation problem by the fuzzy zero point method is a trapezoidal fuzzy number. The solution procedure is illustrated with numerical example. Mat...

Trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TrIFNs) express abundant and flexible information in a suitable manner and  are very useful to depict the decision information in the procedure of decision making. In this paper, some new aggregation operators, such as, trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy weighted power harmonic mean (TrIFWPHM) operator, trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted po...

The objective of the study is to present cosine similarity measure based multi-attribute decision making under neutrosophic environment. The assesments of alternatives over the attributes are expressed with trapezoidal fuzzy neutrosophic numbers in which the three independent components namely, truth-membership degree (T), indeterminacy-membership degree (I) and falsity-membership degree (F) ar...
