Solving Fully Fuzzy Linear System of Equations in General Form

In this work, we propose an approach for computing the positive solution of a fully fuzzy linear system where the coefficient matrix is a fuzzy n×n matrix. To do this, we use arithmetic operations on fuzzy numbers that introduced by Kaffman in [18] and convert the fully fuzzy linear system into two n × n and 2n × 2n crisp linear systems. If the solutions of these linear systems don’t satisfy in positive fuzzy solution condition, we introduce the constrained least squares problem to obtain optimal fuzzy vector solution by applying the ranking function in given fully fuzzy linear system. Using our proposed method, the fully fuzzy linear system of equations always has a solution. Finally, we illustrate the efficiency of proposed method by solving some numerical examples.
