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...

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, with the help of several counter examples it is proved that ranking method proposed by Chen and Chen (Expert Systems with Applications 36 (2009) 6833-6842) is incorrect. The main aim of this paper is to prop...

In this paper, a new similarity measure of generalized fuzzy numbers based on left and right apex angles is presented. Left and Right Apex Angles combines the concepts of the center of gravity, the area, the perimeter and the height of generalized fuzzy numbers for calculating the degree of similarity between generalized fuzzy numbers. For the validation the results of the proposed approach are...

This paper proposes a new fuzzy similarity measure to calculate the degree of similarity of generalized fuzzy numbers (GFN’s).The fuzzy similarity measure is developed by integrating the concept of centre of gravity (COG) points and fuzzy difference of distance of points of fuzzy numbers. A fuzzy description for difference of distances between fuzzy numbers in its turn exploits appropriate simi...

In this paper, first of all the distance measure entitled generalized Hausdorff distance is defined between two generalized fuzzy numbers that has been introduced by Chen [3]. Then using another distance and combining it with the generalized Hausdorff distance, a fuzzy distance measure is introduced with the help of fuzzy distance measure proposed in [1] to generalize fuzzy numbers. The concept...

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. Cheng (Cheng, C. H. (1998). A new approach for ranking fuzzy numbers by distance method. Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 95, 307–317) pointed out that the proof of the statement ‘‘Ranking of generalized fuzzy numbers does not depe...

Network-flow problems can be solved by several methods. Labeling techniques can be used to solve wide variety of network problems. A new algorithm to find the fuzzy maximal flow between source and sink was proposed by Kumar et el. [19]. They have represented normal triangular fuzzy numbers as network flow. It is not possible to restrict the membership function to the normal form and proposed th...

let $s$ be an ordered semigroup. a fuzzy subset of $s$ is anarbitrary mapping   from $s$ into $[0,1]$, where $[0,1]$ is theusual interval of real numbers. in this paper,  the concept of fuzzygeneralized bi-ideals of an ordered semigroup $s$ is introduced.regular ordered semigroups are characterized by means of fuzzy leftideals, fuzzy right ideals and fuzzy (generalized) bi-ideals.finally, two m...
