Because of the complexity of limitation and realistic decision of decision knowledge, multiple attribute decision making problems with the attribute value often need to characterize fuzzy number. The triangular fuzzy number to describe this kind of ambiguity is very effective and for the project investment selection problem with triangular fuzzy numbers, this study puts forward a new multiple a...

In crisp production inventory problem, let q, a, b, d, R and r be the quantity produced per cycle, the holding cost, production cost, production quantity per day, the total demand quantity and the demand quantity per day, respectively. We consider three fuzzification methods. Firstly, we fuzzify q, a, b, d, R and r to triangular fuzzy numbers. Secondly, we fuzzify d and r to triangular fuzzy nu...

In many real life problems, the parameters used to characterize the uncertainty or vagueness or impreciseness in information are either triangular or trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. But it is not always possible to restrict the membership function to either triangular or trapezoidal form. In this paper, a new form of non-normal fuzzy number named as Heptagonal fuzzy number is introduced and its arit...

Analytical structure for a fuzzy PID controller is introduced by employing two fuzzy sets for each of the three input variables and four fuzzy sets for the output variable. This structure is derived via left and right trapezoidal membership functions for inputs, trapezoidal membership functions for output, algebraic product triangular norm, bounded sum triangular co-norm, Mamdani minimum infere...

This paper proposes a new method for finding fuzzy weights in the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP), which fuzzifies the derived formulation of an eigenvector directly. The presented formulation only needs information about the upper triangular matrix and the assumption about the reciprocal matrix is not necessary. This characteristic makes the FAHP feasible because the property of recipr...

The TOPSIS process is one of the most comprehensive systems designed for decision making with multiple criteria, since this technique enables formulation of the problem as decision matrix, as well as the possibility of considering different quantitative and qualitative criteria in the problem. Fuzzy TOPSIS methods have been introduced to make fundamental decisions that make decisions decisions ...

This study focuses on the problem of stability (with respect to changes of centres of fuzzy parameters) of the solution in Fuzzy Linear Programming (FLP) problems with symmetrical triangular fuzzy numbers and extended operations and inequalities.
