Abstract
Difference equations arise in the modeling of many interesting problems. “Measurements” of data or specified information for an underlying problem may be imprecise or only partially specified. This motivates us to initiate a study of “fuzzy difference equations”. In this paper, we formulate and solve a given difference equation in the fuzzy setting and give a general method for dealing with any second-order difference equation. This work is motivated by considering an important problem in computer science, namely, the polyphase merging problem
