in this paper, we propose a new approach for ranking all fuzzynumbers based on revising the ranking method proposed by ezzati et al. cite{ezzati}.to this end, we present and investigate some properties of the proposed approach indetails. finally, to illustrate the advantage of the proposed method, it is applied to several groups of fuzzy numbers and the results are compared with other related a...

fuzzy segmentation is an effective way of segmenting out objects in images containing both random noise and varying illumination. in this paper, a modified method based on the comprehensive learning particle swarm optimization (clpso) is proposed for pixel classification in hsi color space by selecting a fuzzy classification system with minimum number of fuzzy rules and minimum number of incorr...

By using the concepts of fuzzy number fuzzy measures and fuzzy valued functions a theory of fuzzy integrals is investigated. In this paper we have established the fuzzy version of Generalised monotone Convergence theorem and generalised Fatous lemma. 1. Introduction In the preceding paper [2], it is introduced that a concept of fuzzy number fuzzy measures, defined the fuzzy integral of a functi...

We consider biobjective shortest path problems in networks with fuzzy arc lengths. Considering the available studies for single objective shortest path problems in fuzzy networks, using a distance function for comparison of fuzzy numbers, we propose three approaches for solving the biobjective prob- lems. The rst and second approaches are extensions of the labeling method to solve the sing...

The fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm is a useful tool for clustering; but it is convenient only for crisp complete data. In this article, an enhancement of the algorithm is proposed which is suitable for clustering trapezoidal fuzzy data. A linear ranking function is used to define a distance for trapezoidal fuzzy data. Then, as an application, a method based on the proposed algorithm is pres...

in this paper, a new method based on parametric form for approximate solu-tion of fuzzy linear matrix equations (flmes) of the form ax = b; where ais a crisp matrix, b is a fuzzy number matrix and the unknown matrix x one,is presented. then a numerical example is presented to illustrate the proposedmodel.

considering the contemporary business settings, managers’ role is more than essential to the viability and further development of an organization. managers should possess such skills in order to effectively cope with the competition. multiple attributes decision making (madm) is an approach employed to solve problems involving selection from among a finite number of alternatives. the aim of thi...

decision making about outsourcing or insourcing of manufacturing activities is a type of multiple criteria decision making (mcdm) problem, which requires considering quantitative and qualitative factors as evaluation criteria simultaneously. therefore, a suitable mcdm method can be useful in this area as it can consider the interactions among quantitative and qualitative criteria. the analytic ...

In this paper a network comprising alternative branching nodes with probabilistic outcomes is considered. In other words, network nodes are probabilistic with exclusive-or receiver and exclusive-or emitter. First, an analytical approach is proposed to simplify the structure of network. Then, it is assumed that the duration of activities is positive trapezoidal fuzzy number (TFN). This paper com...

The aim of this paper is to introduce and study a new concept ofstrong double $(A)_ {Delta}$-convergent sequence offuzzy numbers with respect to an Orlicz function and also someproperties of the resulting sequence spaces of fuzzy   numbers areexamined. In addition, we define the double$(A,Delta)$-statistical convergence of fuzzy  numbers andestablish some connections between the spaces of stron...
