Fuzzy approximate solution of positive fully fuzzy linear matrix equations (Q2375424)

Summary: The fuzzy matrix equations \(\tilde{A} \otimes \tilde{X} \otimes \tilde{B} = \tilde{C}\) in which \(\tilde{A}\), \(\tilde{B}\), and \(\tilde{C}\) are \(m \times m\), \(n \times n\), and \(m \times n\) nonnegative LR fuzzy numbers matrices, respectively, are investigated. The fuzzy matrix system is extended into three crisp systems of linear matrix equations according to arithmetic operations of LR fuzzy numbers. Based on the pseudoinverse of the matrix, the fuzzy approximate solution of the original fuzzy systems is obtained by solving the crisp linear matrix systems. In addition, the existence condition of nonnegative fuzzy solutions is discussed. Two examples are calculated to illustrate the proposed method.
