Assignment problem (AP) is a well known topic and is used very often in solving problems of engineering and management science. In this problem aij denotes the cost for assigning the jth job to the ith person. The cost is usually deterministic in nature. In this paper ãij has been considered to be trapezoidal and triangular numbers denoted by ãij which are more realistic and general in nature. ...

In this paper, we propose a new approach to critical path analysis in a project network whose activity times are uncertain. The uncertain parameters in the project network are represented by fuzzy numbers. We use fuzzy arithmetic and a fuzzy ranking method to determine the fuzzy critical path of the project network without converting the fuzzy activity times to classical numbers. The proposed m...

Since much of human reasoning is based on imprecise, vague and subjective values, most of decision-making processing, in reality, requires handling and evaluation of fuzzy numbers. Zadeh’s (Zadeh 1965) fuzzy logic has given analysts a tool to represent the human behaviour more precisely, especially where relatively few data exist, and where the expert knowledge about the system is vague and lin...

In this paper, considers the usage of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers in decision making. The values and ambiguities of the membership degree and the non-membership degree for trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy number are defined as well as the value-index and ambiguity-index. The proposed ranking method is easily implemented and has a natural interpretation. 2010 AMS Classification: 47S20, 03E72
