Abstract

Fuzzy arithmetic with standard methods such as the extension principle and
$\alpha $-cut lead to restricted possibilities for solving fuzzy equations.
The procedures to find a solution to a fuzzy equality with these methods
require strong assumptions and high computation costs. Among several
approaches dealing with this restrictions this paper focuses on the
Transmission Average (TA) fuzzy arithmetic. The shape preservation of
the TA arithmetic operations on L-R fuzzy numbers is proven. These
properties together with some other algebraic properties investigated
in the paper are applied to solve fuzzy polynomial equations as well as systems of linear fuzzy equations in general form. Several examples in the paper present the advantages of TA arithmetic in solving fuzzy equations.  It is shown that the results in this paper support the fact that TA arithmetic is an easy to implement approach in fuzzy modeling.
