1 8 DAFFODIL INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY JOURNAL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, VOLUME 4, ISSUE, JANUARY 009 A COMPUTATIONAL METHOD FOR FUZZY ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS Thowhida Akther and Sanwar Uddin Ahmad Faculty of Science and Information Technology Daffodil International University, Dhaka, Bangladesh Department of Mathematics University of Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh lizudu@yahoocom and sanwardu@gmailcom Abstract: In this paper, a computer implementation to evaluate the arithmetic operations on two fuzzy numbers with linear membership functions has been developed The fuzzy arithmetic approached by the interval arithmetic is used here The algorithm of the developed method with a numerical eample is also provided Using this method four basic arithmetic operations between any two TFNs can be evaluated without compleity Keywords: Fuzzy arithmetic, Fuzzy number, Membership Function, Interval arithmetic, - cut Introduction The fuzzy numbers were introduced by [] and frequently arise in decision making, control theory, fuzzy systems and approimate reasoning problems The fuzzy arithmetic was developed by several later authors, eg [ 4] In recent years some research on the application of the fuzzy set theory [5] in education, based on the concepts of fuzzy numbers and fuzzy arithmetic has begun eg, [6, 7] Fuzzy numbers are also used in statistics, computer programming, engineering (especially communications), and eperimental science In calculations generally for computational efficiency many applications limit the membership functions of the fuzzy numbers to triangular or trapezoidal fuzzy numbers Using the inverse function [4] the implementation of arithmetic operations on fuzzy numbers is computationally comple and the implementation of the etension principle [5] is equivalent to solving a nonlinear programming problem A direct, fast and accurate way of computing the arithmetic operations on fuzzy numbers has engaged researchers and students of many fields and became the motivation to produce the proposed computational method The users can evaluate the eact form of the membership functions of the resultant fuzzy numbers in a simple and accurate implementation on computer using MATHEMATICA In this paper the triangular fuzzy numbers (TFN) are considered The fuzzy arithmetic approached by interval arithmetic for fuzzy numbers has been used in this paper In recent times [8] proposed a method using spreadsheet to evaluate the arithmetic operations on fuzzy numbers and [9] proposed a method using MATHEMATICA to evaluate the multiplication on fuzzy numbers In this paper the method proposed in [9] is etended for all the four basic arithmetic operations on fuzzy numbers and evaluate the eact forms of the membership functions of the fuzzy results Fuzzy Intervals and Numbers The universe of discourse on which fuzzy numbers are defined is the set of real numbers and its subsets (eg, integers or natural numbers), its membership function should assign the degree of to the central value and degrees to other numbers that reflects their proimity to the central value according to some rule therefore the membership functions ought to be normal and conve The membership should thus decrease from to 0 on both sides of the central value Fuzzy sets of this kind are known as fuzzy numbers Membership functions that conform to this intuitive conception must be epressed in the general form [0],
