Abstract

In this paper, a new triangular fuzzy distance is proposed for two triangular fuzzy numbers and this distance is developed and applied for two points in a K-dimensional space. In this fuzzy distance we use the left and right point. Its calculations are easier compared to the previous presented distances and its result is always a non negative fuzzy number. This distance can be widely used in Multiple Attribute Decision Making MADM techniques and data mining. Finally, some examples are presented to illustrate the benefits of this method.
