To solve multiple attribute decision making problems with intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy information, two optimization models based on the maximizing deviation method, by which the attribute weights can be determined, is established. We utilize the intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy weighted geometric mean (ITFWGM) operator to aggregate the intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy information correspon...

Abstract. In this paper, a new procedure for project scheduling called 'fuzzy cash flow weight' and 'fuzzy discounted cash flow weight' is studied with the aid of generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. A new ranking procedure namely 'SD of PILOT' (Shortest Distance of the Point of Intersection of Legs of Trapezium) is proposed to find out the output of the above said notion. Relevant arithmetic...

This paper proposes a new approach based on Bonferroni mean operator and possibility degree to solve fuzzy multi-attribute decision making (FMADM) problems in which the attribute value takes the form of interval type-2 fuzzy numbers. We introduce the concepts of interval possibility mean value and present a new method for calculating the possibility degree of two interval trapezoidal type-2 fuz...

Whether a rule-based interval type-2 fuzzy system has the ability to approximate any continuous multivariate function arbitrarily well is a fundamentally important question for fuzzy control and modeling. The only approximation results available are the preliminary ones that we previously obtained. They state that two general classes of the interval T2 fuzzy systems, one for the Mamdani type an...

The objective of this research is to develop an evidence based fuzzy decision support system for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. The development of decision support system is implemented based on three processing stages: rule generation, rule selection and rule fuzzification. Rough Set Theory (RST) is used to generate the classification rules from training data set. The training data ...

It is generally agreed that of all quadrature formulae, the trapezoidal rule, while being the simplest, is also the least accurate. There is, however, a rather general class of integrals for which the trapezoidal rule can be shown to be a highly accurate means of obtaining numerical values. Specifically, if the integrand is a periodic, even function with all derivatives continuous, then the int...

Received 17September 2013; accepted 5 October2013 L Baba Abstract. Finding shortest paths in graphs has been the area of interest for many researchers. Shortest paths are one of the fundamental and most widely used concepts in networks. In this paper the authors present an algorithm to find an Intuitionistic Fuzzy Shortest Path (IFSP) in a directed graph in which the cost of every edges are rep...

In some cases, our uncertainty about about a quantity can be described by an interval of its possible values. If we have two or more pieces of interval information about the same quantity, then we can conclude that the actual value belongs to the intersection of these intervals. In general, we may need a fuzzy number to represent our partial knowledge. A fuzzy number can be viewed as a collecti...

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...

In this article, we introduce ST decomposition procedure to solve fully fuzzy linear systems. This paper mainly to discuss a decomposition of non singular fuzzy matrix, Symmetric times triangular(ST) decomposition. Every non singular fuzzy matrix can be represented as a product of symmetric matrix S and triangular matrix T in the form of trapezoidal fuzzy number matrices. By this method, we obt...
