Definition 2: A fuzzy number is a type 1 fuzzy set where 𝐴 􁈚

where 𝑍􀮺 􀵌 ℛ (where ℛ stands for the set of real numbers)

and 𝜇􀮺 is a continuous function (see Figure 1).
Usually, special types of fuzzy numbers are considered, especially triangular fuzzy numbers. In case of
triangular
fuzzy numbers the membership function has a triangular shape.
A triangular fuzzy number can be defined as a triple 􁈺𝑎􀬵, 𝑎􀬶, 𝑎􀬷􁈻 , where 𝑎􀬵, 𝑎􀬶, 𝑎􀬷 are such real numbers that
𝑎􀬵 􀵏 𝑎􀬶 􀵏 𝑎􀬷. Such a fuzzy number represents a quantity which – according to the knowledge or belief of the
decision
maker in the very moment – will take on the value 𝑎􀬶 with the possibility degree 1, values smaller than or equal
𝑎􀬵 and
greater than or equal 𝑎􀬷 with the possibility degree 0, and the other values with the possibility degree between 0
and
1 – the smaller the possibility degree, the greater the distance from 𝑎􀬶. This can be represented by the following
