fuzzy measures are suitable in analyzing human subjective evaluation processes. several different strategies have been proposed for distance of fuzzy numbers. the distances introduced for fuzzy numbers can be categorized in two groups:1. the crisp distances which explain crisp values for the distance between two fuzzy numbers.2. the fuzzy distance which introduce a fuzzy distance for normal fuz...

In this paper, a new method is proposed to find the fuzzy optimal solution of fully fuzzy linear programming (abbreviated to FFLP) problems. Also, we employ linear programming (LP) with equality constraints to find a non-negative fuzzy number vector x̃ which satisfies Ãx̃ = b̃, where à is a fuzzy number matrix. Then we investigate the existence of a positive solution of fully fuzzy linear system (...

Sensors that measure yield, temperature, electrical conductivity of milk, and animal activity can be used for automated cow status monitoring. The occurrence of false-positive alerts, generated by a detection model, creates problems in practice. We used fuzzy logic to classify mastitis and estrus alerts; our objective was to reduce the number of false-positive alerts and not to change the level...

In this study, we consider two different inequivalent formulations of the logistic difference equation $x_{n+1}= beta x_n(1- x_n), n=0,1,..., $ where $x_n$ is a sequence of fuzzy numbers and $beta$ is a positive fuzzy number. The major contribution of this paper is to study the existence, uniqueness and global behavior of the solutions for two corresponding equations, using the concept of Huku...

in this paper we introduce the root of a fuzzy number, and we present aniterative method to nd it, numerically. we present an algorithm to generatea sequence that can be converged to n-th root of a fuzzy number.

In this paper a network comprising alternative branching nodes with probabilistic outcomes is considered. In other words, network nodes are probabilistic with exclusive-or receiver and exclusive-or emitter. First, an analytical approach is proposed to simplify the structure of network. Then, it is assumed that the duration of activities is positive trapezoidal fuzzy number (TFN). This paper com...

the intuitionistic fuzzy set has been applied to game theory very rarely since it was introduced by atanassov in 1983. the aim of this paper is to develop an effective methodology for solving matrix games with payoffs of atanassov’s triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (tifns). in this methodology, the concepts and ranking order relations of atanassov’s tifns are defined. a pair of bi-object...
