Ordering and ranking fuzzy numbers and their comparisons play a significant role in decision-making problems such as social and economic systems, forecasting, optimization, and risk analysis problems. In this paper, a new method for ordering triangular fuzzy numbers using the Nagel point of a triangle is presented. With the aid of the proposed method, reasonable properties of ordering fuzzy numbers are verified. Certain comparative examples are given to illustrate the advantages of the new method. Many papers have been devoted to studies on fuzzy ranking methods, but some of these studies have certain shortcomings. The proposed method overcomes the drawbacks of the existing methods in the literature. The suggested method can order triangular fuzzy numbers as well as crisp numbers and fuzzy numbers with the same centroid point. An application to the fuzzy risk analysis problem is given, based on the suggested ordering approach.

This paper presents a new method for evaluating the efficiency of school preceptors based on fuzzy number arithmetic operations. It uses fuzzy numbers to represent fuzzy grades. The fuzzy weights of criteria are automatically generated from the opinions of evaluators. The simplified fuzzy number arithmetic operations are used for calculating the average of fuzzy numbers. It can evaluate the efficiency of school preceptors in a more flexible and more intelligent manner.


In this paper, a new method to rank fuzzy numbers is presented. The proposed method based on Possibility and Necessity Measures is called PNM. According to possibility and necessity measures, eight indexes are calculated to extract four rules to rank fuzzy numbers. Also a method to evaluate each rule validation especially when rules’ outcomes yield conflict conclusions is presented. To test PNM performance, some controversial triangular fuzzy numbers are considered. Additionally, four extracted rules are compared with each other and fully analyzed. Furthermore, PNM is compared with other recently proposed methods. Results confirm that PNM is capable to rank a variety of fuzzy numbers and their images with any selected bandwidths, interval and any degree of closeness

The ranking and comparing of fuzzy numbers have important practical uses, such as in risk analysis problems, decision-making, optimization, forecasting, socioeconomic systems, control and certain other fuzzy application systems. Several methods for ranking fuzzy numbers have been widely-discussed though most of them have shortcomings. In this paper, we present a new method for ranking triangular fuzzy numbers based on their incenter and inradius. The proposed method is much simpler and more efficient than other methods in the literature. Some comparative examples are also given to illustrate the advantages of the proposed method.

This paper proposes a new method to rank the parametric form of fuzzy numbers based on defuzzification. The defuzzification process use centroids, value, ambiguity and decision levels on fuzzy number developed from the parametric form of a generalized fuzzy number. The proposed method avoids reducing function to remove lower alpha levels and can overcome the shortcomings in some of the existing fuzzy ranking methods. The proposed method can effectively rank symmetric fuzzy numbers with the same core and different heights, fuzzy numbers with the same support and different cores, crisp numbers, crisp numbers having the same support and different heights, and fuzzy numbers having compensation of areas. A demonstration of the proposed method through examples and a comparative study with other methods in the literature shows that the proposed method gives effective results.
