In practice, some special LR fuzzy numbers, like the triangular fuzzy number, the Gaussian fuzzy number and the Cauchy fuzzy number, are widely used in many areas to deal with various vague information. With regard to these special LR fuzzy numbers, called regular LR fuzzy numbers in this paper, an operational law is proposed for fuzzy arithmetic, providing a novel approach to analytically and ...

In this paper, we present a solution of an arbitrary general fully fuzzy linear systems (FFLS) in the form Ã⊗ x̃ = b̃. Where coefficient matrix à is anm×n fuzzy matrix and all of this system are elements of LR type fuzzy numbers. Our method discuss a general FFLS (square or rectangle fully fuzzy linear systems with trapezoidal or triangular LR fuzzy numbers). To do this, we transform fully fuzzy ...

In this paper, the fuzzy matrix equation $Awidetilde{X}B=widetilde{C}$ in which $A,B$ are $n times n$crisp matrices respectively and $widetilde{C}$ is an $n times n$ arbitrary LR fuzzy numbers matrix, is investigated. A new numerical procedure for calculating the fuzzy solution is designed and a sufficient condition for the existence of strong fuzzy solution is derived. Some examples are ...

To the best of our knowledge, there is no method in the literature to find the fuzzy optimal solution of fully fuzzy critical path (FFCP) problems i.e., critical path problems in which all the parameters are represented by LR flat fuzzy numbers. In this paper, a new method is proposed for the same. Also, it is shown that it is better to use JMD representation of LR flat fuzzy numbers in the pro...

Fuzzy Set Theory has been applied in many fields such as Operations Research, Control Theory, and Management Sciences etc. In particular, an application of this theory in Managerial Decision Making Problems has a remarkable significance. In this Paper, we consider a solution of Rectangular Fuzzy game with pay-off as imprecise numbers instead of crisp numbers viz., interval and LR-type Trapezoid...

LR fuzzy numbers are quite common in real world applications involving the triangular fuzzy number, the Gaussian fuzzy number, and the Cauchy fuzzy number as special cases. In this paper, we first prove that a fuzzy number is an LR fuzzy number if and only if its credibility distribution is strictly increasing. After that, based on credibility measure, an operational law on independent LR fuzzy...
