in some multi-attribute decision making (madm) problems, various relationships among the decision attributes should be considered. this paper investigates the prioritization relationship of attributes in madm with trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (trifns). trifns are a special intuitionistic fuzzy set on a real number set and have the better capability to model ill-known quantities. fir...

In this paper we use the Triangular and Trapezoidal Fuzzy Numbers as tools for assessing student Mathematical Modelling (MM) skills. Fuzzy Numbers play a fundamental role in fuzzy mathematics analogous to the role played by the ordinary numbers in classical mathematics, On the other hand, MM appears today as a dynamic tool for teaching and learning mathematics, because it connects mathematics w...

this paper considers the fuzzy inventory model for deteriorating items for power demand under fully backlogged conditions. we define various factors which are affecting the inventory cost by using the shortage costs. an intention of this paper is to study the inventory modelling through fuzzy environment. inventory parameters, such as holding cost, shortage cost, purchasing cost and deteriorati...

For medical diagnosis, fuzzy Dempster-Shafer theory is extended to model domain knowledge under probabilistic and fuzzy uncertainty. However, there are some information loss using discrete fuzzy sets and traditional matching degree method. This study aims to provide a new evidential structure to reduce information loss. This paper proposes a new intuitionistic fuzzy evidential reasoning (IFER) ...

When it is question of prediction, no deterministic model can be totally efficient, especially when the output to be estimated is dependent imprecisely on many fluctuant variables measuring human behavior (cognitions, choices, consumption, etc.). Regressions based on fuzzy logic which combine statistics and expert’s attitudes can be used to improve the estimation of such outputs. Those regressi...

Intuitionistic Fuzzy numbers each of which is characterized by the degree of membership and the degree of non-membership of an element are a very useful means to depict the decision information in the process of decision making. The aim of this article is to investigate the approach to multiple attribute group decision making with intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy numbers, some operational laws ...

This paper focuses on modelling fuzzy numbers with meaningful membership functions. More precisely, it proposes a method to construct trapezoidal fuzzy number approximations from raw discrete data. In many applications, input information is numerical, and therefore, particular fuzzy sets, such as fuzzy numbers, hold great interest and relevance in managing data imprecision and vagueness. The pr...

Fuzzy distance is applied on data analysis, classification, and product positioning analysis widely. In this paper, We introduce a fuzzy distance by using graded mean integration representation of generalized fuzzy number and the span of fuzzy number, We also discuss the distance of the linguistic data of “greater or less than x” and “about x”. It is reasonable to say “the fuzzy distance of abo...

This paper proposes a new approach based on Bonferroni mean operator and possibility degree to solve fuzzy multi-attribute decision making (FMADM) problems in which the attribute value takes the form of interval type-2 fuzzy numbers. We introduce the concepts of interval possibility mean value and present a new method for calculating the possibility degree of two interval trapezoidal type-2 fuz...

Ranking fuzzy numbers plays an important role in data analysis, decision making optimization, forecasting etc. The last few decades have seen a large number of methods investigated for ranking fuzzy numbers. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for the ranking of generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers namely Haar ranking and is based on the approximate coefficients and detailed coefficients...
