—Takagi-Sugeno-Kang fuzzy model to assist with real estate appraisals is described and optimized using evolutionary algorithms. Two approaches were compared in the paper. The first one consisted in learning the rule base and the second one in combining learning the rule base and tuning the membership functions in one process. Moreover two model variants with three and five triangular and trapez...

The variance of fuzzy random variables often appears in fuzzy random programming problems. Based on the definition of the variance of a fuzzy random variable, this paper attempts to deduce several formulas for the variances of trapezoidal fuzzy random variables, in which the randomness is characterized by uniform distribution. Firstly, we give the moment formulas for trapezoidal fuzzy variables...

Standard intuitionistic fuzzy arithmetic operations have certain problems in division and subtraction operations. Ezzati et al. (2014) defined a new operation on symmetric trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers in which the properties ≈ 1 and ≈ 0 are satisfied. In this paper, the new operations according to Ezzati et al. (2014) are extended to symmetric trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy number...

This paper illustrates a Comparative study of highly non-linear, complex and multivariable Inverted Pendulum (IP) system on Cart using different soft computing techniques. Firstly, a Fuzzy logic controller was designed using triangular and trapezoidal shape Membership functions (MF's). The trapezoidal fuzzy controller shows better results in comparison to triangular fuzzy controller. Secondly, ...

In this paper, we present a new prioritization method for information fusion under fuzzy environment. We propose a new measure to measure the similarity between generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Based on the proposed similarity measure, we develop an utility function of generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. With the utility function of generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers, we propose a n...

We propose a generalization of trapezoidal fuzzy numbers based on modal interval theory, which we name “modal interval trapezoidal fuzzy numbers”. In this generalization, we accept that the alpha cuts associated with a trapezoidal fuzzy number can be modal intervals, also allowing that two interval modalities can be associated with a trapezoidal fuzzy number. In this context, it is difficult to...

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...

Ranking of fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in linguistic decision making and some other fuzzy application systems. Several strategies have been proposed for ranking of fuzzy numbers. Each of these techniques has been shown to produce nonintuitive results in certain cases. In this paper, some new approaches for ranking of trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are introduced. Keywords— Magnitude of...

To have a real option means to have the possibility for a certain period to either choose for or against something, without binding oneself up front. The real option rule is that one should invest today only if the net present value is high enough to compensate for giving up the value of the option to wait. Because the option to invest loses its value when the investment is irreversibly made, t...
