A new method to solve linear programming problems in the environment of picture fuzzy sets

Picture fuzzy set is characterized by neutral membership function along with the membership and non-membership functions, and is, therefore, more general than the intuitionistic fuzzy set which is only characterized by membership and non-membership functions. In this paper, rst, we are going to point out a drawback and try to x it by the existing trapezoidal picture fuzzy number. Furthermore, we de ne an LR at picture fuzzy number, which is a generalization of trapezoidal picture fuzzy numbers. We also discuss a linear programming model with LR at picture fuzzy numbers as parameters and variables and present a method to solve these type of problems using a generalized ranking function.
