Abstract
This paper analyzes a linear system of equations when the righthand
side is a fuzzy vector and the coefficient matrix is a crisp M-matrix. The
fuzzy linear system (FLS) is converted to the equivalent crisp system with
coefficient matrix of dimension 2n × 2n. However, solving this crisp system is
difficult for large n because of dimensionality problems . It is shown that this
difficulty may be avoided by computing the inverse of an n×n matrix instead
of Z^{−1}.
