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 propose a fuzzy TOPSIS (Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Idea Solution) model using O(m, n)-Trapezoidal Type Fuzzy Number (O(m,n)-Tr.T.F.N.) and possibility theory. An application in the form of an example to the vendor selection problem in supply chain management is presented towards the end of the paper to highlight the salient points in the proposed possibili...

In this paper, the fuzzy logic and trapezoidal intuitionistic number were presented, as well some properties of semi- parametric logistic regression model when using number. The output variable represents dependent sometimes cannot be determined in only two cases (response, non-response)or (success, failure) more than responses, especially medical studies; therefore so, use a semi with (depende...

In this paper, a fuzzy quadratic minimum spanning tree problem is formulated as expected value model, chance-constrained programming and dependent-chance programming according to different decision criteria. Then the crisp equivalents are derived when the fuzzy costs are characterized by trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Furthermore, a simulation-based genetic algorithm using Prüfer number representat...

In this paper I will introduce the trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IF numbers) and will prove some operations for them. Also I am going to propose a new ordering method for IF numbers in which I will consider two characteristic values of membership and non-membership functions for an IF number. These values are defined by the integral of the inverse fuzzy membership and non-membership...

Linear programming problems with trapezoidal fuzzy numbers have recently attracted much interest. Various methods have been developed for solving these types of problems. Here, following the work of Ganesan and Veeramani and using the recent approach of Mahdavi-Amiri and Nasseri, we introduce the dual of the linear programming problem with symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and establish some ...

In this paper, a numerical method for solving fuzzy Fredholm integral equations of the second kind is introduced. We apply the trapezoidal rule to compute the Riemann integrals.This kind of integral equations convert to a linear system. Then, by solving the linear system , unknowns are determined. Finally, an algorithm is presented to solve the fuzzy integral equation by using the trapezoidal r...

This paper investigates the vibration of a bar for computing its frequency parameter with interval and fuzzy material properties using fuzzy finite element method. First crisp values of material properties are considered. Then the problem has been undertaken taking the properties as interval and fuzzy. Initially, Young’s modulus and density as material properties have been considered as interva...

In this paper we introduce an approach for solving multiattribute decision-making problems in which there are several decision-makers who individually and independently elicit their preferences. The preferences of each decision-maker are imprecise and represented by an imprecise additive multiattribute utility function. We allow for incomplete information on the component utility functions and ...
