A new lexicographical approach for ranking fuzzy numbers

Uday Sharma

Abstract


In the literature many ranking methods have been proposed for comparing the fuzzy numbers, most of them suffer from plenty of shortcomings such as complex calculations, inconsistency with human intuition. To overcome such shortcomings, a new ranking method is proposed for L-R flat fuzzy numbers which is based on the lexicographical ordering approach. It is shown that proposed ranking method satisfies all the reasonable properties of the ordering fuzzy quantities proposed by Wang & Kerre (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 118(2001) 375-385). Finally a comprehensive comparison is done between the existing ranking methods with the proposed one to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed ranking method.

Keywords: Ranking method, L-R flat fuzzy numbers
