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...

Type-2 (T2) fuzzy variable is an extension of an ordinary fuzzy variable. In fuzzy possibility theory, T2 fuzzy variable is defined as a measurable map from the universe to the set of real numbers, and the possibility of a T2 fuzzy variable takes on a real number is a regular fuzzy variable (RFV). T2 fuzziness, which is usually used to handle linguistic uncertainties, can be described as T2 fuz...

The paper presents a form of rendering classical mathematical notions by formal theories over suitable t-norm fuzzy logics in such a way that references to real numbers are eliminated from definitions and theorems, being removed to the standard semantics of fuzzy logic. Several examples demonstrate how this move conceptually simplifies the theory in exchange for non-classical reasoning, facilit...

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 ...

By fuzzifying the number of occurrences of an element of a multiset, we obtain a new fuzzy structure; similarly, by fuzzifying the number of occurrences of an element of a hybrid set, we obtain another new fuzzy structure. The aim of the present work is twofold: to provide a concise definition of these new fuzzy structures and their properties and to apply them in natural computing. More specif...
