most of the researches in the domain of fuzzy number comparisons serve the fuzzy number ordering purpose. for making a comparison between two fuzzy numbers, beyond the determination of their order, it is needed to derive the magnitude of their order. in line with this idea, the concept of inequality is no longer crisp however it becomes fuzzy in the sense of representing partial belonging or de...

In this research a genetic fuzzy system (GFS) is proposed that performs discretization parameter learning in the context of the Fuzzy Inductive Reasoning (FIR) methodology and the Linguistic Rule FIR (LR-FIR) algorithm. The main goal of the GFS is to take advantage of the potentialities of GAs to learn the fuzzification parameters of the FIR and LR-FIR approaches in order to obtain reliable and...

In recent work authors have proposed four new aggregation operators based on the arithmetic and geometric means of the Land Ror right side and left side apex angles for triangular [1] [2] and trapezoidal [3] [4] fuzzy numbers respectively. In this paper authors propose a new aggregation operator for TFNs in which the Land Rmembership function lines of the aggregate TFN have slopes which are the...

The speech-to-noise ratio (SNR) in an environment plays a vital role in speech communication for both normal-hearing (NH) and hearing-impaired (HI) listeners. While hearing-assistance devices attempt to deliver as favorable an SNR as possible, there may be discrepancies between noticeable and meaningful improvements in SNR. Furthermore, it is not clear how much of an SNR improvement is necessar...

Since many real-world engineering systems are too complex to be defined in precise terms, imprecision is often involved in any engineering design process. Fuzzy linear programming problems have an essential role in fuzzy modeling, which can formulate uncertainty in actual environment. One of the most practicable subjects in recent studies is based on LR fuzzy number, which was defined and used ...

We introduce a cardinality constrained multi-objective optimization problem for generating efficient portfolios within a fuzzy mean-absolute deviation framework. We assume that the return on a given portfolio is modeled by means of LR-type fuzzy variables, whose credibility distributions collect the contemporary relationships among the returns on individual assets. To consider credibility measu...
