Ranking fuzzy numbers based on the areas on the left and the right sides of fuzzy number

In this paper, a novel method, based on the areas on the left and the right sides of fuzzy numbers is proposed for ranking fuzzy numbers. The merits of the results given here is to overcome certain shortcomings in the recent literature that mostly does not end in the right ordering of fuzzy numbers. The method also has very easy and simple calculations compared to other methods. Moreover, numerical examples are given to compare the proposed method with other existing ones.
