A New Defuzzification Method for Solving FuzzyMathematical Programming Problems

A New Defuzzification Method for Solving FuzzyMathematical Programming Problems

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. Inthis research, a methodology is pre-sented that, in addition to beingapplicable to all types of FMPs, increases optimali-ty and reduces thesolving time. The proposed method generates improved solutions inless time and requires less monitoring during the problem-solving proce-dure.
