A Comparative Study of Ranking Fuzzy Numbers Based on RegularWeighted Function

Fuzzy systems have gained more and more attention from researchers and practitioners of various fields. In such systems, the output represented by a fuzzy set sometimes needs to be transformed into a scalar value, and this task is known as the defuzzification process. Several analytic methods have been proposed for this problem, but in this paper, the researchers suggest a modified approach to the problem of defuzzification, using the bi-symmetric weighted distance between two fuzzy numbers. This defuzzification can be used as a crisp approximation with respect to a fuzzy quantity. By considering this and with benchmark between fuzzy numbers, we can present a method for ranking, which can effectively rank various fuzzy numbers and their images and overcome the shortcomings of the previous techniques. After illustrating many numerical examples, following our procedure, the ranking results become valid.
