Ranking fuzzy numbers plays a main role in many applied models, and in particular decision-making procedures. In any proposed method by the other researches some shortcomings may exist. In this paper, a new method for ranking two generalized fuzzy numbers based on Euclidian distance measure is presented. Besides from distance measure, we exploited the deviations of generalized fuzzy numbers. The proposed method is illustrated by some numerical examples and in particular the results of ranking by the proposed method and some common and existing methods for ranking fuzzy sets is compared to verify the advantages of the new approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
