Ranking generalized fuzzy numbers plays an important role in many applied models and, in particular, decision-making procedures. In ranking process of two generalized fuzzy numbers, it is natural to compare the sets of values in support of two generalised fuzzy numbers. Accordingly, the comparison of a real number and a generalised fuzzy number as well as two generalised fuzzy numbers have to be considered. On the other hand, it is seen that a definitive process of comparison of a real number and a generalised fuzzy number, as well as two generalised fuzzy numbers, is not possible. So in this study, a method for comparing a real number and a generalised fuzzy number with a degree of accuracy (between a zero and one) is defined and then the method is generalized to compare two generalised fuzzy numbers. In general, an index to rank a real number and generalised fuzzy number is constructed. Eventually, this index is extended to rank two generalised fuzzy numbers based on the concept of accuracy of comparison. The advantage of our method is that it can compare two generalised fuzzy numbers with an accuracy of comparison. Also, a definition is introduced to make a definitive comparison. Finally, the proposed method is illustrated by some numerical examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present work reports an attempt to show the plausibilility of applying fuzzy transform method (FTM) to work out an approximate solution for space-time differential of non integer order which is named advection-dispersion equation (STFADE). From this perspective, the derivatives of non integer order are viewed from the Caputo sense. In approximate approaches, just a certain limitted number of points are utilized to work out an approximate function for a given distance. Nontheless, the main reason why the F-transform is prefered to other similar approaches is that it takes advantage of whole the existing points in the distance. The achieved numerical results indicate that the suggested algorithm results in appropriate approximate solutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The most significant objective of this article is the adoption of a method with a free parameter known as "The Optimum Asymptotic Homotopy Method" which has been utilized in order to obtain solutions for integral differential equations of high-order non integer derivative. The process in this method is more favorable than "Homotopy Perturbation Method" as it has a more rapid convergence compared to the mentioned method or even the similar methods. Another advantage of this method is that the convergence rate is recognized as control area. It is worth mentioning that Caputo derivative is adopted in this article. A number of instances are provided to better understand the method and its level of efficiency compared to other same methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we investigate the solution of the Riccati differential equations of fractional order (FRDEs) involving Caputo derivative (CD), Caputo-Fabrizio derivative (CFD) or Atangana-Baleanu derivative (ABD) using a semi-analytical iterative approach. Temimi and Ansari introduced this method and called it TAM. The linearization of the method involves splitting the problem into a linear and nonlinear part. While this approach is a semi-analytical iterative technique, there is a significant amount of analytical work where the computational times of integrals are needed to be carried out numerically. The novelty and the motivation behind this paper is the comparison of the time used in minutes which is given for three derivatives: CD, CFD and ABD. Meanwhile, the comparison of the approximate solutions with CD, CFD and ABD are presented. With the help of the software Mathematica, the computational results have been obtained.
