Joint solution to fuzzy programming problems

The paper proposes a new solution concept for fuzzy programming problems. It is based on our new method of solving fuzzy equations. For simplicity it discusses in detail only fuzzy linear programming in this paper. The paper defines, and obtains the basic properties of the joint solution (a fuzzy vector in ℝⁿ) and the optimal value of the objective function (a fuzzy number). Three examples are presented illustrating these concepts.
