the intuitionistic fuzzy set has been applied to game theory very rarely since it was introduced by atanassov in 1983. the aim of this paper is to develop an effective methodology for solving matrix games with payoffs of atanassov’s triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (tifns). in this methodology, the concepts and ranking order relations of atanassov’s tifns are defined. a pair of bi-object...

there are two interesting methods, in the literature, for solving fuzzy linear programming problems in which the elements of coefficient matrix of the constraints are represented by real numbers and rest of the parameters are represented by symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. the first method, named as fuzzy primal simplex method, assumes an initial primal basic feasible solution is at hand. t...

in this paper, a  fuzzy numerical procedure for solving fuzzy linear volterra integro-differential equations of the second kind under strong  generalized differentiability is designed. unlike the existing numerical methods, we do not replace the original fuzzy equation by a $2times 2$ system ofcrisp equations, that is the main difference between our method  and other numerical methods.error ana...

to calculate partial and total productivity of production factors in broiler farms in yazd province, 72 manufacturing units were selected based on simple random sampling method and their information and statistics were collected for one production period in the second half of 2013. to measure productivity, the cobb-douglas production function was estimated using classic and fuzzy regression met...

inventory control problem is one of the problems in decision making and management that contains non-crisp parameters in real world. economic production quantity (epq) model in fuzzy environment has been studied so far by many researchers. one of the main assumptions in all previous researches was neglecting the inventory shortage. in this research, a new multi-item epq model with fuzzy random ...

In this paper, we propose the least-squares method for computing the positive solution of a $mtimes n$ fully fuzzy linear system (FFLS) of equations, where $m > n$, based on Kaffman's arithmetic operations on fuzzy numbers that introduced in [18]. First, we consider all elements of coefficient matrix are non-negative or non-positive. Also, we obtain 1-cut of the fuzzy number vector solution of ...

A reasonable approximation of a fuzzy number should have a simple membership function, be close to the input fuzzy number, and should preserve some of its important characteristics. In this paper we suggest to approximate a fuzzy number by a piecewise linear 1-knot fuzzy number which is the closest one to the input fuzzy number among all piecewise linear 1-knot fuzzy numbers having the same cor...

The aim of this paper is to introduce a new methodology for micro-pattern analysis in digital images. The gray-level pixels’ structure in an image neighborhood describes a spatial specific context. Edge, line, spot, blob, corner or texture can be described by this structure. The gray-level values of the image pixel are interpreted as a fuzzy set, and each pixel gray-level as a fuzzy number. A m...

In this paper, we incorporate the concept of fuzzy set theory into the support vector regression (SVR). In our proposed method, target outputs of training samples are considered to be fuzzy numbers and then, membership function of actual output (objective hyperplane in high dimensional feature space) is obtained. Two main properties of our proposed method are: (1) membership function of actual ...

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...
