Abstract :

Many real problems may often be reduced to solving a system of linear equations. However, in such real-world problems, the existence of uncertainties, like a fuzzy environment, is inevitable. Thus, the main aim of this paper is to propose a solving approach for a fuzzy linear system of equalities. The presented approach is based on the nearest weighted approximation of fuzzy numbers. Two numerical examples illustrate the capabilities of the proposed approach.
