A parametric total order on fuzzy numbers and a fuzzy shortest route problem

A parametric total order relation is introduced in the form of a certain modification of the "fuzzy max" order on the class of fuzzy numbers generated by a shape function. By the parametric relation. fuzzy numbers unordered with respect of the fuzzy max order can be ordered according either to their value of center or the size of ambiguity. A fuzzy shortest route problem in which are distances are given by fuzzy numbers is discussed under the criterion of the parametric total order, and solved by the dynamic programming approach. A method is proposed to find all of fuzzy routes mimmal in the sense of the fuzzy max order.
