Abstract

In this paper, some elementary operations on triangular fuzzy
numbers (TFNs) are defined. We also define some operations on triangular
fuzzy matrices (TFMs) such as trace and triangular fuzzy determinant
(TFD). Using elementary operations, some important properties of TFMs are
presented. The concept of adjoints on TFM is discussed and some of their
properties are. Some special types of TFMs (e.g. pure and fuzzy triangular,
symmetric, pure and fuzzy skew-symmetric, singular, semi-singular, constant)
are defined and a number of properties of these TFMs are presented.
