Numerical Solution of Interval and Fuzzy System of Linear Equations

A system of linear equations, in general is solved in open literature for crisp unknowns, but in actual case the parameters (coefficients) of the system of linear equations contain uncertainty and are less crisp. The uncertainties may be considered in term of interval or fuzzy number. In this paper, a detail of study of linear simultaneous equations with interval and fuzzy parameter (triangular and trapezoidal) has been performed. New methods have been proposed for solving such systems. First, the methods have been tested for known problems viz. a circuit analysis solved in the literature and the results are found to be in good agreement with the present. Next more example problems are solved using the proposed methods to strengthen confidence on these new methods. The solutions of the example problems clearly show the efficacy and reliability of the proposed method(s).
