This paper considers a bi-objective model for a scheduling problem of unrelated parallel batch processing machines to minimize the makespan and maximum tardiness, simultaneously. Each job has a specific size and the data corresponding to its ready time, due date and processing time-dependent machine are uncertain and determined by trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Each machine has a specific capacity,...

-In the field of engineering and economic studies, mathematical manipulation of fuzzy numbers is cumbersome and does not provide a neatly ordered set of results in the same way that crisp numbers do. Moreover, the generalized fuzzy number (i.e. non-normalized and normalized fuzzy number) have been approved more flexible and more intelligent than the normalized fuzzy number since it takes the de...

in order to have better insight of project characteristics, different kinds of fuzzy analysis for project networks have been recently proposed, most of which consider activities duration as the main and only source of imprecision and vagueness, but as it is usually experienced in real projects, the structure of the network is also subject to changes. in this paper we consider three types of imp...

let $(u_n)$ be a sequence of fuzzy numbers.  we recover the slow oscillation of $(u_n)$ of fuzzy numbers from the ces`{a}ro summability of its generator sequence and some additional conditions imposed on $(u_n)$. further, fuzzy analogues of some well known classical tauberian theorems for ces`{a}ro summability method are established as particular cases.

The suggested approach, FMAA (Fuzzy Multicriteria Acceptability Analysis), assimilates uncertainties/ imprecisions of objective values and subjective judgments within the discrete Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA). The presented algorithm for FMAA implementation utilizes fuzzy criterion values and fuzzy weight coefficients based on the use of fuzzy numbers, integral measure to assess the ...

In this paper, we study the existence, asymptotic behavior of the positive solutions of a fuzzy nonlinear difference equation$$ x_{n+1}=frac{Ax_n+x_{n-1}}{B+x_{n-1}}, n=0,1,cdots,$$ where $(x_n)$ is a sequence of positive fuzzy number, $A, B$ are positive fuzzy numbers and the initial conditions $x_{-1}, x_0$ are positive fuzzy numbers.

This chapter describes different methods for comparing and ordering fuzzy numbers. Theoretically, fuzzy numbers can only be partially ordered, and hence cannot be compared. However, in practical applications, such as decision making, scheduling, market analysis or optimisation with fuzzy uncertainties, the comparison of fuzzy numbers becomes crucial. Theoretically, fuzzy numbers can only be par...
