The weight is one of the most useful tools to measure the attribute importance when individuals make a decision or evaluate the alternatives. Among the methods which measure the weight, fuzzy measures is are subjective scales for the degrees of fuzziness and widely used to determine the degrees of subjective importance of evaluation items in numerous studies for the time being. The purpose of t...

Multiplicative operations for fuzzy numbers raise several problems both from the theoretical and practical point of view in fuzzy arithmetic. The multiplication based on Zadeh's extension principle and its triangular and trapezoidal approximation is used in several recent works in applications in geology. Recently, new product-type operation are introduced and studied, as e.g. the cross product...

In previous studies, it is pointed out that in several situations it is better to use interval-valued fuzzy numbers instead of triangular or trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. But till now, there is no method that deals with the sensitivity analysis of such linear programming problems in which all the parameters are represented by interval-valued fuzzy numbers. In this paper, a new method is proposed f...

This paper illustrates a Comparative study of highly non-linear, complex and multivariable Inverted Pendulum (IP) system on Cart using different soft computing techniques. Firstly, a Fuzzy logic controller was designed using triangular and trapezoidal shape Membership functions (MF's). The trapezoidal fuzzy controller shows better results in comparison to triangular fuzzy controller. Secondly, ...

This paper presents solution technique of geometric programming with fuzzy parameters to solve structural model. Here we are considered all fuzzy parameters as a generalized fuzzy number i.e. generalized triangular fuzzy number and generalized trapezoidal fuzzy number. Here material density of the bar, permissible stress of each bar and applied load are fuzzy numbers. We use geometric programmi...

The purpose of this research paper was to propose a method which can be utilized to determine the different types of performance measures on the basis of the crisp values for the fuzzy queuing model which has an unreliable server and where the rate of arrival, the rate of service, the rate of breakdown and the rate of repair are all expressed as the fuzzy numbers. In this case the inter arrival...

‎The importance of Problem Solving (PS) has been realized for such a long time that in a direct or indirect way affects our daily lives in many ways‎. ‎Assessment cases appear frequently for PS skills which involve a degree of uncertainty and (or) ambiguity‎. ‎Fuzzy logic‎, ‎due to its nature of characterizing such cases with multiple values‎, ‎offers rich resources for dealing with them‎. ‎On ...

ranking fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in linguistic decision making and other fuzzy application systems. in spite of many ranking methods, no one can rank fuzzy numbers with human intuition consistently in all cases. shortcoming are found in some of the convenient methods for ranking triangular fuzzy numbers such as the coefficient of variation (cv index), distance between fuzzy set...

although there are many excellent ways presenting the principle of the classical calculus, the novel presentations probably leads most naturally to the development of the non-newtonian calculus. the important point to note is that the non-newtonian calculus is a self-contained system independent of any other system of calculus. since this self-contained work is intended for a wide audience, inc...

in this paper, some elementary operations on triangular fuzzynumbers (tfns) are defined. we also define some operations on triangularfuzzy matrices (tfms) such as trace and triangular fuzzy determinant(tfd). using elementary operations, some important properties of tfms arepresented. the concept of adjoints on tfm is discussed and some of theirproperties are. some special types of tfms (e.g. pu...
