چکیده

Recently Abbasbandy and Hajjari (Computers and Mathematics with Applications
57 (2009) 413-419) have introduced a ranking method for the trapezoidal
fuzzy numbers. This paper extends theirs method to all fuzzy numbers,
which uses from a defuzzication of fuzzy numbers and a general weighting
function. Extended method is interesting for ranking all fuzzy numbers, and it
can be applied for solving and optimizing engineering and economics problems
in a fuzzy environment.
