We suggest the use of piecewise monotonic interpolations to approximate and represent a fuzzy number (or interval) and to derive a procedure to control the absolute error associated to the arithmetic operations (+,−, ·, :) between fuzzy numbers, in order to reduce the distance between the true result of the operation and its approximation. The monotonic functions are then used to define a param...

An approach based on interval belief degrees and fuzzy evidential reasoning analytical algorithm is developed for multi-criteria decision problems with uncertainties. The criteria weights are represented by interval numbers and criteria values by triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. The proposed approach does not need to utilize the theories such as arithmetic operations for Triangular intu...

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decisionmaking (MADM) problems with 2-tuple intuitionistic fuzzylinguistic information. Then, we utilize arithmetic and geometricoperations to develop some 2-tuple intuitionistic fuzzy linguisticaggregation operators. The prominent characteristic of theseproposed operators are studied. Then, we have utilized theseoperators to develop some app...

This paper first improves Chen and Hsieh’s definition of generalized fuzzy numbers, which makes it the generalization of definition of fuzzy numbers. Secondly, in terms of the generalized fuzzy numbers set, we introduce two different kinds of orders and arithmetic operations and metrics based on the λ-cutting sets or generalized λ-cutting sets, so that the generalized fuzzy numbers are integrat...

Although simple additive weighting method (SAW) is the most popular approach for classical multiple attribute decision making (MADM), it is not practical any more if information is fuzzy. The existing methods of Fuzzy Simple Additive Weighting method (FSAW) apply defuzzification which distorts fuzzy numbers. Furthermore, most of the methods usually require lengthy and laborious manipulations. I...

Risk analysis plays an important role in many application systems. The current researches prefer to use fuzzy set theory for risk analysis. In this paper, we present a new fuzzy risk analysis method based on generalized fuzzy numbers. Firstly, we define new arithmetic operations between generalized fuzzy numbers. Then, we propose a new method to measure the degree of similarity between generali...

Abstract The fuzzy transform setting (F-transform) is proposed as a tool for representation and approximation of type-1 and type-2 fuzzy numbers; the inverse F-transform on appropriate fuzzy partition of the membership interval [0,1] is used to characterize spaces of fuzzy numbers in such a way that arithmetic operations are de…ned and expressed in terms of the F-transform of the results. A typ...

We focus on the Ferrers property of fuzzy preference relations. We study the connection between the Ferrers property and fuzzy interval orders. A crisp total interval order is characterized by the Ferrers property of its strict preference relation. Also, a crisp preference structure is a total interval order if and only if its large preference relation satisfies the Ferrers property. For fuzzy ...

In standard arithmetic, if we, e.g., accidentally add a wrong number y to the preliminary result x, we can undo this operation by subtracting y from the result x+ y. In this paper, we prove the following two results: • First, a similar possibility to invert (undo) addition holds for fuzzy numbers (although in case of fuzzy numbers, we cannot simply undo addition by subtracting y from the sum). ...
