Fuzzy Dual Numbers: Theory and Applications

(Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing (359)) 1st ed. 2018 Edition 

by Felix Mora-Camino (Author), Carlos Alberto Nunes Cosenza (Author) 

This is the first book focusing exclusively on fuzzy dual numbers. In addition to offering a concise guide to their properties, operations and applications, it discusses some of their advantages with regard to classical fuzzy numbers, and describes the most important operations together with a set of interesting applications in e.g. optimization, decision-making and system design. The book provides students, researchers and professionals the necessary theoretical background to apply this particular subset of fuzzy numbers to decision-making problems involving uncertainty. Further, it shows how to solve selected engineering and management problems and includes detailed numerical examples.
