The paper deals with a solution of a fuzzy interval system of linear equations, i.e. a system in which fuzzy intervals (numbers) appear instead of crisp numbers. We obtain general results and then use them for finding the united solution set in the case when all fuzzy interval occurring in the system have the trapezoidal shape.

The weight is one of the most useful tools to measure the attribute importance when individuals make a decision or evaluate the alternatives. Among the methods which measure the weight, fuzzy measures is are subjective scales for the degrees of fuzziness and widely used to determine the degrees of subjective importance of evaluation items in numerous studies for the time being. The purpose of t...

The problem of the nearest approximation of fuzzy numbers by piecewise linear 1-knot fuzzy numbers is discussed. By using 1-knot fuzzy numbers one may obtain approximations which are simple enough and flexible to reconstruct the input fuzzy concepts under study. They might be also perceived as a generalization of the trapezoidal approximations. Moreover, these approximations possess some desira...

The article is devoted to the problem of multi-criteria decision making. As application used equipment selection problem. analysis existing methods for solving this given. a method fuzzy TOPSIS (The Technique Order Preference by Similarity Ideal Solution) proposed. This based on ideal solution approach. issues practical implementation are discussed in details. results test at all stages present...

In this paper, we first use a fuzzy preference relation with a membership function representing preference degree forcomparing two interval-valued fuzzy numbers and then utilize a relative preference relation improved from the fuzzypreference relation to rank a set of interval-valued fuzzy numbers. Since the fuzzy preference relation is a total orderingrelation that satisfies reciprocal and tra...

The basic transportation problem was originally developed by Hitchcock. In the literature several methods are proposed for solving Fuzzy transportation problem. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm called Fuzzy Russell’s method for the initial basic feasible solution to a Fuzzy transportation problem. To examine the proposed method a numerical example is solved. Fuzzy numbers may be normal...

project selection is considered as an important problem in project management. it is multi-criteria in nature and is based on various quantitative and qualitative factors. the main purpose of this paper is to present a new rank-based method for project selection in outranking relation. according to this approach, decision alternatives were clustered in the concordance matrix and the discordance...

In this paper, we present a new method for ranking generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers (GTrFNs) based on Ochiai index and Hurwicz criterion. The proposed ranking method considers all types of decision makers’ perspective such as optimistic, neutral and pessimistic which is crucial in solving decision-making problems. The proposed method can discriminate the ranking result of GTrFNs having the...
