A New Defuzzification Method for Solving Fuzzy Mathematical Programming Problems

Abstract

Solving a certain type of Fuzzy mathematical programming (FMP) require several steps and manual intervention in the solution process. Therefore, it reduces the optimality and increases the solving time. In this research, a methodology is pre-sented that, in addition to being applicable to all types of FMPs, increases optimali-ty and reduces the solving time. The proposed method generates improved solutions in less time and requires less monitoring during the problem-solving proce-dure.
