The main aim of this paper is to characterize the set of real parameters associated to a fuzzy number, represented in a general form which include the most important characteristics, with the following property: for any given fuzzy number there exists at least a trapezoidal fuzzy number which preserves a fixed parameter. The uniqueness of the nearest trapezoidal fuzzy number with this property ...

Type – II fuzzy number is introduced in decision making analysis as a concept that is capable to effectively deal with uncertainty in the information about a decision. As type – II fuzzy number is represented by possibility distribution, it is hard to determine which type – II fuzzy number is greater than the other. In this paper, a new methodology for ranking type – II fuzzy number is proposed...

With respect to multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems in which both the attribute weights and the expert weights take the form of real numbers, attribute values take the form of fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, a new group decision making analysis method is developed. Firstly, some operational laws of fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, score function and ac...

Control charts are widely used in industrial processes as well as in health sciences and particularly for monitoring the performance of cardiac surgeon or a group of surgeons based on the preoperative risk of patients. Since the preoperative risk is a vague and nonprecise variable and the anesthesiologists after checking how many risk factors a patient has, determine the risk of mortality befor...

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...

there are two interesting methods, in the literature, for solving fuzzy linear programming problems in which the elements of coefficient matrix of the constraints are represented by real numbers and rest of the parameters are represented by symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. the first method, named as fuzzy primal simplex method, assumes an initial primal basic feasible solution is at hand. t...

in this paper, a  fuzzy numerical procedure for solving fuzzy linear volterra integro-differential equations of the second kind under strong  generalized differentiability is designed. unlike the existing numerical methods, we do not replace the original fuzzy equation by a $2times 2$ system ofcrisp equations, that is the main difference between our method  and other numerical methods.error ana...
