description | In real life, information available on situations/issues/problems is vague, inexact, or insufficient and so the parameters involved therein are grasped in an uncertain way by the decision maker. But in real life such uncertainty is unavoidable. One possible way out is to consider the knowledge of experts about the parameters involved as fuzzy data. In a network, the arc length may represent time or cost. In Relevant literature reports there are several methods to solve such problems in network-flow. This paper proposes an optimized path for use in networks, using trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, assigned to each arc length in a fuzzy environment. It proposes a new algorithm to find the optimized path and implied distance from source node to destination node. |
