Abstract
The first thing to do is explain how we will get fuzzy probabilities, which will be fuzzy numbers, from a set of confidence intervals. This is done in the next section. Next we discuss how we can obtain fuzzy numbers for arrival rates and for service rates in Section 3.3. Then we discuss “restricted fuzzy arithmetic” in Section 3.5. Throughout this book whenever we wish to find the α-cut of a fuzzy probability, or a certain fuzzy number, we usually need to solve an optimization problem. We discuss this computation problem in more detail in Section 3.6. The last section is about how we constructed figures of fuzzy probabilities, or certain fuzzy numbers, using Maple [10], or LaTeX2 ɛ .
