Nearest Symmetric Trapezoidal Approximation of Fuzzy Numbers

Many authors analyzed triangular and trapezoidal approximation of fuzzy numbers. But, to best of our knowledge, there is no method for symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy number approximation of fuzzy numbers. So, in this paper, we try to convert any fuzzy number into symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy number by using metric distance. This approximation helps us to avoid the computational complexity in the process of decision making problems. Moreover, we investigate some reasonable properties of this approximation. An application of this new method is also provided.
