Received 17September 2013; accepted 5 October2013 L Baba Abstract. Finding shortest paths in graphs has been the area of interest for many researchers. Shortest paths are one of the fundamental and most widely used concepts in networks. In this paper the authors present an algorithm to find an Intuitionistic Fuzzy Shortest Path (IFSP) in a directed graph in which the cost of every edges are rep...

Ranking of fuzzy numbers play an important role in decision making, optimization, forecasting etc. fuzzy numbers must be ranked before an action is taken by a decision maker. In this paper we propose a new approach of the fuzzy ranking of generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers based on radius of gyration point of centroids. The main advantage of the proposed approach is that the proposed approac...

We give some sufficient conditions such that a crisp, interval, triangular, trapezoidal, parametric approximation of a fuzzy number, with or without additional requirements, to have the properties of invariance to translations or scale invariance.

In this paper, we want represented a method for ranking of two exponential trapezoidal fuzzy numbers with TRD distance. The main advantage of the proposed approach is that the proposed approach provide the correct ordering of exponential trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and also the proposed approach is very simple and easy to apply in the real life problems.

The degree of similarity or dissimilarity between the objects under study plays an important role. In vector space, especially, the cosine similarity measure is often used in information retrieval, citation analysis, and automatic classification. However, it scarcely deals with trapezoidal fuzzy information and multicriteria decision-making problems. For this purpose, a cosine similarity measur...

To make the analysis more consistent and logical according to real life situations, in thispaper, the concept of trapezoidal vague set is extended by the idea of trapezoidal vaguesets of type-II. Also we have introduced: definition of trapezoidal vague set of type-IIand arithmetic operations between two trapezoidal vague sets of type-II. Further, a newmethod has been developed f...

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...
