Recently, many scholars investigated interval, triangular, and trapezoidal approximations of fuzzy numbers. These researches can be grouped into two classes: the Euclidean distance class and the non-Euclidean distance class. Most approximations in the Euclidean distance class can be calculated by formulas, but calculating approximations in the other class is more complicated. In this paper, we ...

In the present paper, we analyze the vague reliability of k-out-of-n : G system (particularly, series and parallel system) with independent and non-identically distributed components, where the reliability of the components are unknown. The reliability of each component has been estimated using statistical confidence interval approach. Then we converted these statistical confidence interval int...

In previous studies, it is pointed out that in several situations it is better to use interval-valued fuzzy numbers instead of triangular or trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. But till now, there is no method that deals with the sensitivity analysis of such linear programming problems in which all the parameters are represented by interval-valued fuzzy numbers. In this paper, a new method is proposed f...

Here at first we are going to give a brief history of the development of fuzzy entropy. Finally, new measures for entropy of fuzzy sets in continuous cases are introduced. In this article, our main purpose is to show that the entropy of fuzzy number is very much dependent on the selection of intervals. Another important thing which can be observed from the cases discussed is that the entropy of...

Linear systems have important applications to many branches of Science and Engineering. In many applications, atleast some of the parameters of the system are represented by fuzzy rather than crisp numbers. This paper, discusses fully fuzzy linear systems with triangular fuzzy numbers. A matrix inversion method is proposed for solving Fully Fuzzy Linear System (FFLS) of equations. Finally, the ...

In this paper some concept of fuzzy set have discussed and one fuzzy model have applied on agricultural farm for optimal allocation of different crops by considering maximization of net benefit, production and utilization of labour . Crisp values of the objective functions obtained from selected nondominated solutions are converted into triangular fuzzy numbers and ranking of those fuzzy number...

In this paper, we investigate the multiple criteria group decision making (MCGDM) problems in which decision makers (DMs)’ preferences on alternatives (criteria) are depicted by triangular fuzzy numbers and take the form of incomplete reciprocal comparison matrices. We aim to develop integrated methodologies for the MCGDM problems. First of all, we develop a triangular fuzzy power geometric (TF...
