an increase, even moderate, in global temperature is expected to result in a change in frequency of extreme weather events like drought, heavy rainfall and storms. the study of extreme events is difficult due to the fact that it is difficult to find long-term homogeneous data series. also the delimitation of extreme events is not univocal since a parameter value that would be defined as an extr...

the purpose of this study is to find the percentiles of fuzzy numbersand to demonstrate their applications, which include finding weightedmeans, dispersion indices, and the percentile intervals of fuzzy numbers. thecrisp approximations of fuzzy numbers introduced in this paper are new andinteresting for the comparison of fuzzy environments, such as a variety of economic,financial, and engineeri...
