Numerical solutions of fuzzy differential and integral equations

Using the embedding method, numerical procedures for solving fuzzy differential equations (FDEs) and fuzzy integral equations (FIEs) with arbitrary kernels have been investigated. Sufficient conditions for convergence of the proposed algorithms are given and their applicability is illustrated with examples, This work and its conclusions may narrow the gap between the theoretical research on FDEs and FIEs and the practical applications already existing in the design of various fuzzy dynamical systems.
