Ranking fuzzy numbers plays an important role in data analysis, decision making optimization, forecasting etc. The last few decades have seen a large number of methods investigated for ranking fuzzy numbers. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for the ranking of generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers namely Haar ranking and is based on the approximate coefficients and detailed coefficients...

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...

ne of the greatest challenges for software developers is forecasting the development effort for a software system for the last decades. The capability to provide a good estimation on software development efforts is necessitated by the project managers. Software effort estimation models divided into two main categories: algorithmic and non-algorithmic. Developers should be able to achieve practi...

We present a solution procedure for a quadratic programming problem with some probabilistic constraints where the model parameters are either triangular fuzzy number or trapezoidal fuzzy number. Randomness and fuzziness are present in some real-life situations, so it makes perfect sense to address decision making problem by using some specified random variables and fuzzy numbers. In the present...

Fuzzy Linear Programming models are quite frequent in practice. The dynamic nature of the real problems often requires reoptimize from the optimal solutions found, what may mean a significant consumption of time and funds. In this paper, in order to efficiently solve this problem, first the optimality conditions and the duality results for fully fuzzy linear programming problems (all parameters...

Fuzzy set theory has been applied to many fields, such as operations research, control theory, and management sciences. We consider two classes of fuzzy linear programming (FLP) problems: Fuzzy number linear programming and linear programming with trapezoidal fuzzy variables problems. We state our recently established results and develop fuzzy primal simplex algorithms for solving these problem...

Ranking fuzzy numbers plays a main role in many applied models inreal world and in particular decision-making procedures. In manyproposed methods by other researchers may exist some shortcoming.The most commonly used approaches for ranking fuzzy numbers isbased on defuzzification method. Many ranking fuzzy numberscannot discriminate between two symmetric fuzzy numbers withidentical core. In 200...

The aim of this paper is to study multi-objective assignment problem with imprecise costs, time and ineffectiveness instead of its precise information. Here, elements of cost matrix, consumed time matrix and ineffectiveness level matrix have been represented by generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers as it is suitable way to represent the impreciseness of values provided by the decision makers du...

In this paper, an x n fully fuzzy linear system à ⊗ x = b where à is a fuzzy matrixx and b are fuzzy vectors with trapezoidal fuzzy numbers is solved by singular value decomposition method. The method is illustrated with numerical examples.

In this paper the method of determining the value of the game in fuzzy environment, using trapezoidal fuzzy numbers is proposed. A new approach called fuzzy Nash equilibrium which provides a way for obtaining the optimum strategies for mxn fuzzy payoff matrix is employed. Relevant definitions and numerical examples are also given.
