In this paper, a more general definition of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number (TIFN) is proposed by removing the `normality' in the definition of intuitionistic fuzzy number. The basic arithmetic operations of generalized triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (GTIFNs) and the notion of -cut sets are defined. Also a nearest interval approximation method is described to approximate a GTIFN...

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 this paper, we develop a new approach to deal with neutrosphic shortest path problem in a network in which each edge weight (or length) is represented as triangular fuzzy neutrosophic number. The proposed algorithm also gives the shortest path length from source node to destination node using ranking function. Finally, an illustrative example is also included to demonstrate our proposed appr...

We present a solution procedure for a quadratic programming problem with some probabilistic constraints where the model parameters are either triangular fuzzy number or trapezoidal fuzzy number. Randomness and fuzziness are present in some real-life situations, so it makes perfect sense to address decision making problem by using some specified random variables and fuzzy numbers. In the present...

In our earlier articles, we proposed two methods for solving the fully fuzzified linear fractional programming (FFLFP) problems. In this paper, we introduce a different approach of evaluating fuzzy inequalities between two triangular fuzzy numbers and solving FFLFP problems. First, using the Charnes-Cooper method, we transform the linear fractional programming problem into a linear one. Second,...

In the paper the problem of mathematical properties of B-operations and weak WB-operations introduced by the author for interpretation of connectives “and”, “or”, and “also” in fuzzy rules is considered. In previous author’s papers some interesting properties of fuzzy systems with these operations were shown. These operations are weaker than triangular norms used commonly for a fuzzy system des...

Periods of matrix power sequences in max-drast fuzzy algebra and methods of their computation are considered. Matrix power sequences occur in the theory of complex fuzzy systems with transition matrix in max-t algebra, where t is a given triangular fuzzy norm. Interpretation of a complex system in max-drast algebra reflects the situation when extreme demands are put on the reliability of the sy...

A t-tautology (triangular tautology) is a propositional formula which is a tautology in all fuzzy logics deened by continuous triangular norms. In this paper we show that the problem of recognizing t-tautologies is coNP complete, and thus decidable.

here we consider the p-center problem on different types of fuzzy networks. in particular, we are interested in the networks with interval and triangular fuzzy arc lengths and vertex-weights. a methodology to obtain the best satisfaction level of the decision maker who wishes to reduce the cost within the tolerance limits is proposed. illustrative examples are provided.
