MULTIPLICATION OPERATION AND POWERS OF TRAPEZOIDAL FUZZY NUMBERS

Abstract

In this work, we explore and exhibe some numerical methods to calculate two types of the product (respectively powers) of trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. As a particular case, we study the multiplication operation on triangular fuzzy numbers, we report and correct errors in an article dealing with the same topic.
