a shortest path problem is a practical issue in networks for real-world situations. this paper addresses the fuzzy shortest path (fsp) problem to obtain the best fuzzy path among fuzzy paths sets. for this purpose, a new efficient algorithm is introduced based on a new definition of ideal fuzzy sets (ifss) in order to determine the fuzzy shortest path. moreover, this algorithm is developed for ...

the main aim of this paper intends to discuss the solution of fuzzy sylvester matrix equation

flow shop sequencing problem is included in np-hard problems and a number of heuristic methods have been developed to solve it. most of these methods are offered for the crisp processing time. however fuzzy algorithm is appropriate for the problems with fuzzy processing time. this paper presents a method in which an algorithm is used to minimize make span of flow shop with fuzzy processing time...

abstract— in this paper, a new extended method of multi criteria decision making based on fuzzy-topsis theory is introduced. fuzzy mcdm algorithm for determining the best choice among all possible choices when the data are fuzzy is also presented. using a new index leads to procedure for choosing fuzzy ideal and negative ideal solutions directly from the fuzzy data observed alternatives.in this...

recently, phiangsungnoen et al. [j. inequal. appl. 2014:201 (2014)] studied fuzzy mappings in the framework of hausdorff fuzzy metric spaces.following this direction of research, we establish the existence of fixed fuzzy points of fuzzy mappings. an example is given to support the result proved herein; we also present a coincidence and common fuzzy point result. finally, as an application of ou...

many ranking methods have been proposed so far. however, there is yet no method that can always give a satisfactory solution to every situation; some are counterintuitive, not discriminating; some use only the local information of fuzzy values; some produce different ranking for the same situation. for overcoming the above problems, we propose a new method for ranking fuzzy quantities based on ...

web usage mining (wum) is the automatic discovering of hidden informationof user access pattern from the web log data. frequent pattern discovery is one ofthe main techniques in wum that can be used to implement recommender systems,forecast user`s navigational behaviour, and personalize web sites. many algorithmshave been suggested on obtaining frequent user navigation patterns. this paperprese...

fuzzy clustering methods are conveniently employed in constructing a fuzzy model of a system, but they need to tune some parameters. in this research, fcm is chosen for fuzzy clustering. parameters such as the number of clusters and the value of fuzzifier significantly influence the extent of generalization of the fuzzy model. these two parameters require tuning to reduce the overfitting in the...
