Solving fully fuzzy matrix equations

In this paper, a new method is proposed to find the fuzzy optimal solution of fuzzy linear programming problems. Recently, fuzzy linear systems are considered by Kumar et al. [14]. In this paper, we employ linear programming (abbreviated to LP) with equality constraints to find a non-negative fuzzy number matrix (X) over tilde which satisfies (AX) over tilde = (B) over tilde. where (A) over tilde and (B) over tilde are two fuzzy number matrices. To illustrate the easy application of the proposed method, numerical examples are given and the obtained results are discussed. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
