THE MEDIAN VALUE OF FUZZY NUMBERS AND ITS APPLICATIONS IN DECISION MAKING

Abstract

In this paper, the researchers proposed a new method to rank fuzzy numbers by median value of fuzzy numbers. The median value can be used as a crisp approximation with respect to a fuzzy quantity. Therefore, a method for ordering the fuzzy numbers is defined accordingly. This method can effectively rank various fuzzy numbers, their images and overcome the shortcomings of the previous techniques.
