In this paper the idea of strong sum distance which is a metric, in a fuzzy graph is introduced. Based on this metric the concepts of eccentricity, radius, diameter, center and self centered fuzzy graphs are studied. Some properties of eccentric nodes, peripheral nodes and central nodes are obtained. A characterisation of self centered complete fuzzy graph is obtained and conditions under which...

Here we consider approaches to the ranking of fuzzy numbers based upon the idea of associating with a fuzzy number a scalar value, its signal/noise ratios, where the signal and the noise are defined as the middle-point and the spread of each $gamma$-cut of a fuzzy number, respectively. We use the value of a as the weight of the signal/noise ratio of each $gamma$-cut of a fuzzy number to calcula...

Abstract An E -fuzzy group is a lattice-valued algebraic structure, defined on a crisp algebra which is not necessarily a group. The crisp equality is replaced by a particular fuzzy one denoted by E . Classical group-like properties are formulated as appropriate fuzzy identities special lattice theoretic formulas. We prove basic features of E -fuzzy groups: properties of the unit and inverses, ...

Until now single values of IRR are traditionally used to estimate the time value of cash flows. Since uncertainty exists in estimating cost data, the resulting decision may not be reliable. The most commonly cited drawbacks to using the internal rate of return in evaluatton of deterministic cash flow streams is the possibility of multiple conflicting internal rates of return. In this paper we p...

In this paper, the concept of hypergraph is extended to the fuzzy hypergraph. In the fuzzy hypergraph, the concepts of a-cut hypergraph, strength of edge and dual fuzzy hypergraph are developed. It is shown that the fuzzy hypergraph and a-cut hypergraph are useful to represent a fuzzy partition. An application example also shows that the strength of edge can be used to decompose the data set in...

the importance as well as the difficulty of the problem of ranking fuzzy numbers is pointed out. here we consider approaches to the ranking of fuzzy numbers based upon the idea of associating with a fuzzy number a scalar value, its signal/noise ratios, where the signal and the noise are defined as the middle-point and the spread of each $gamma$-cut of a fuzzy number, respectively. we use the va...

in this paper, a new approach for solving the second order fuzzy differential equations (fde) with fuzzy initial value, under strongly generalized h-differentiability is presented. solving first order fuzzy differential equations by extending 1-cut solution of the original problem and solving fuzzy integro-differential equations has been investigated by some authors (see for example cite{darabi...

Fuzzy relations on the same domain are classified according to the equality of families of cut sets. This equality of fuzzy relations is completely characterized, not only for unit interval valued fuzzy relations, but more generally, for fuzzy relations whose domain is a (complete) lattice. Similar results for fuzzy sets in general are considered in [12]. Applications of the results for fuzzy c...
