Network-flow problems can be solved by several methods. Labeling techniques can be used to solve wide variety of network problems. A new algorithm to find the fuzzy maximal flow between source and sink was proposed by Kumar et el. [19]. They have represented normal triangular fuzzy numbers as network flow. It is not possible to restrict the membership function to the normal form and proposed th...

We prove that some important properties of convex subsets of vector topological spaces remain valid in the space of fuzzy numbers endowed with the Euclidean distance. We use these results to obtain a characterization of fuzzy number-valued Lipschitz functions. This fact helps us to find the best Lipschitz constant of the trapezoidal approximation operator preserving the value and ambiguity intr...

In order to increase the efficiency of the conveyance of the granular solids, a new experimental set-up is designed. The test rig has longitudinal trapezoidal slots in its conveying pipes. Through experimentation, a correlation for friction factor in terms of solid mass flow rate, fluid flow rate and Froude number is presented. It is shown that the mixture friction factor for pipes with inn...

In this paper, Symmetric Trapezoidal Intuitionistic Fuzzy Numbers (STIFNs) have been introduced and their desirable properties are also studied. A new type of intuitionistic fuzzy arithmetic operations for STIFN have been proposed based on ( , )   -cuts. A numerical example is considered to elaborate the proposed arithmetic operations. These operations find applications in solving linear prog...

This paper describes a fault tree technique based on generalized fuzzy numbers to a possibility distribution of reliability indices for power systems. Due to uncertainty in the collected data, all the failure probabilities are represented by generalized trapezoidal fuzzy number. In this paper, the fault-tree incorporated with the generalized trapezoidal fuzzy number and minimal cut sets approac...

In this article, we introduce ST decomposition procedure to solve fully fuzzy linear systems. This paper mainly to discuss a decomposition of non singular fuzzy matrix, Symmetric times triangular(ST) decomposition. Every non singular fuzzy matrix can be represented as a product of symmetric matrix S and triangular matrix T in the form of trapezoidal fuzzy number matrices. By this method, we obt...

Multi-attribute group decision-making plays an important role in modern politics, economy, culture, and life. The multi-attribute process is limited by policymakers’ experience, knowledge of uncertainty factors, such as weight information, difficult to directly provide. Moreover, many types complex rescue information are accurately describe numerical terms, which reduces the accuracy objectivit...
