ranking fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in linguistic decision making and other fuzzy application systems. in spite of many ranking methods, no one can rank fuzzy numbers with human intuition consistently in all cases. shortcoming are found in some of the convenient methods for ranking triangular fuzzy numbers such as the coefficient of variation (cv index), distance between fuzzy set...

ranking fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in decision making and some other fuzzy application systems. many different methods have been proposed to deal with ranking fuzzy numbers. constructing ranking indexes based on the centroid of fuzzy numbers is an important case. but some weaknesses are found in these indexes. the purpose of this paper is to give a new ranking index to rank vario...

multi attribute decision making methods are considered as one of the most useful methods for solving ranking problems. in some decision making problems, while the alternatives for corresponding criteria are compared in a pairwise comparison manner, if the criteria are inherently fuzzy, debates will arise in ranking alternatives due to the closeness of the values of the criteria. in this researc...

Ranking fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in the decision process, data analysis, and applications. The last few decades have seen a large number of methods investigated for ranking fuzzy numbers. The most commonly used approach for ranking fuzzy numbers is ranking indices based on the centroids of fuzzy numbers. However, there are some weaknesses associated with these indices. This pap...

‎ranking fuzzy numbers is generalization of the concepts of order, and class, and so have fundamental applications. moreover, deriving the final efficiency and powerful ranking are helpful to decision makers when solving fuzzy problems. selecting a good ranking method can apply to choosing a desired criterion in a fuzzy environment. there are numerous methods proposed for the ranking of fuzzy n...

many ranking methods have been proposed so far. however, there is yet no method that can always give a satisfactory solution to every situation; some are counterintuitive, not discriminating; some use only the local information of fuzzy values; some produce different ranking for the same situation. for overcoming the above problems, we propose a new method for ranking fuzzy quantities based on ...

This paper suggests  a novel approach for ranking the most applicable fuzzy numbers, i.e.  $LR$-fuzzy numbers. Applying the  $alpha$-optimistic values of a fuzzy number, a preference criterion is proposed for ranking fuzzy numbers using the Credibility index. The main properties of the proposed  preference criterion  are also studied.  Moreover, the proposed method is   applied for ranking fuzz...
