1 Vol., Issue 3, August 0 Arithmetic of Triagular Fuzzy Variable from Credibility Theory Ritupara Chutia (Correspodig Author) Departmet of Mathematics Gauhati Uiversity, Guwahati, Assam, Idia. Rituparachutia7@rediffmail.com Supahi Mahata Departmet of Statistics Gauhati Uiversity, Guwahati, Assam, Idia. supahi_mahata@rediffmail.com D. Datta Health Physics Divisio, BARC, Mumbai, Idia ddatta@barc.gov.i Abstract I this article, it has bee show that the credibility distributio of triagular fuzzy variable leads us to fid a very simple alterative method of fidig the membership fuctio for fuctios of triagular fuzzy variables. This cocept of credibility theory also leads us i fidig a alterative method of computig basic arithmetic operatios of triagular fuzzy variables ad geeralised membership fuctio for the root of triagular fuzzy variable. The method has bee demostrated with the help of some eamples. Keywords: Credibility distributio, Credibility desity fuctio, Credibility measure, Membership fuctio.. Itroductio The basic arithmetic operatio of fuzzy umber has bee developed well through the years. Ideed Chou [4, 5] has actually developed a method of fidig the membership fuctio of the square root ad cube root of a triagular fuzzy umber. Although there are may arithmetical operatio approaches, oe of the approaches presets a geeralised th method for fidig the root of the fuzzy umber. Zadeh [7] proposed the cocept of possibility measure ad thereafter this has bee widely used i solvig fuzzy problems. The ecessity measure is defied as a dual part of possibility measure. However, both possibility measure ad ecessity measure are ot self-dual. I order to defie a self-dual measure, Liu ad Liu [] preset the cocept of credibility measure. I this paper the triagular fuzzy variable are cosidered ad we try to develop a geeralised method for fidig the membership fuctio for fuctios of triagular fuzzy variables, ad very well applied i dealig the basic arithmetical operatios of triagular fuzzy variables, based o the cocept of credibility distributio. 9

A ew method for computatio of basic arithmetical operatios of fuzzy variable is forwarded. This method validity has bee tested evaluatig some eamples which were quoted from [6], where they were solved by the method of alpha-cuts ad are compared with the results obtaied here. The square root of triagular fuzzy variable foud by our proposed method th tallies with the oe defied by Chou []. A geeralised membership fuctio for the root of triagular fuzzy variable has bee forwarded. The method ca be applied i solvig equatios with fuzzy coefficiets. Further the proposed method ca be applied to the ucertaity aalysis of dispersio models ad egieerig problems which ca be take for further research. Refereces [] B. Liu ad. K.
