The Matrix

The aim of this paper is to develop an effective method for solving matrix game with payoffs of trapezoidal fuzzy numbers (TrFNs). The method always assures that players’ gain-floor and loss-ceiling have a common TrFN-type fuzzy value and hereby any matrix game with payoffs of TrFNs has a TrFN-type fuzzy value. The matrix game is first converted to a fuzzy linear programming problem, which is converted to three different optimization problems, which are then solved to get the optimum value of the game. The proposed method has an edge over other method as this focuses only on matrix games with payoff element as symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy number, which might not always be the case. A numerical example is given to illustrate the method.

Lexicographic Method

The purpose of the paper is to study how to solve a type of matrix games with payoffs of triangular fuzzy numbers. In this paper, the value of a matrix game with payoffs of triangular fuzzy numbers has been considered as a variable of the triangular fuzzy number. First, based on two auxiliary linear programming models of a classical matrix game and the operations of triangular fuzzy numbers, fuzzy optimization problems are established for two players. Then, based on the order relation of triangular fuzzy numbers the fuzzy optimization problems for players are decomposed into three-objective linear programming models. Finally, using the lexicographic method maximin and minimax strategies for players and the fuzzy value of the matrix game with payoffs of triangular fuzzy numbers can be obtained through solving two corresponding auxiliary linear programming problems, which are easily computed using the existing Simplex method for the linear programming problem. It has been shown that the models proposed in this paper extend the classical matrix game models. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the methodology.

Calculating the matrix inverse is a key point in solving linear equation system, which involves complex calculations, particularly  when the matrix elements are  (Left and Right) fuzzy numbers. In this paper, first, the method of Kaur and Kumar for calculating the matrix inverse is reviewed, and its disadvantages are discussed. Then, a new method is proposed to determine the inverse of  fuzzy matrix based on linear programming problem. It is demonstrated that the proposed method is capable of overcoming the shortcomings of the previous matrix inverse. Numerical examples are utilized to verify the performance and applicability of the proposed method.

In many real-world problems, one may encounter uncertainty in the input data. The fuzzy set theory fits well to handle such situations. However, it is not always possible to determine with full satisfaction the membership and non-membership degrees associated with an element of the fuzzy set. The intuitionistic fuzzy sets play a key role in dealing with the hesitation factor along-with the uncertainity involved in the problem and hence, provides more flexibility in the decision-making process. In this article, we introduce a new ordering on the set of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and propose a simple approach for solving the fully intuitionistic fuzzy linear programming problems with mixed constraints and unrestricted variables where the parameters and decision variables of the problem are represented by intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. The proposed method converts the problem into a crisp non-linear programming problem and further finds the intuitionistic fuzzy optimal solution to the problem. Some of the key significance of the proposed study are also pointed out along-with the limitations of the existing studies. The approach is illustrated step-by-step with the help of a numerical example and further, a production planning problem is also demonstrated to show the applicability of the study in practical situations. Finally, the efficiency of the proposed algorithm is analyzed with the existing studies based on various computational parameters.

Fuzzy Equality

In the current literatures, there are several models of fully fuzzy linear programming (FFLP) problems where all the parameters and variables were fuzzy numbers but the constraints were crisp equality or inequality. In this paper, an FFLP problem with fuzzy equality constraints is discussed, and a method for solving this FFLP problem is also proposed. We first transform the fuzzy equality constraints into the crisp inequality ones using the measure of the similarity, which is interpreted as the feasibility degree of constrains, and then transform the fuzzy objective into two crisp objectives by considering expected value and uncertainty of fuzzy objective. Since the feasibility degree of constrains is in conflict with the optimal value of objective function, we finally construct an auxiliary three-objective linear programming problem, which is solved through a compromise programming approach, to solve the initial FFLP problem. To illustrate the proposed method, two numerical examples are solved.
