Abstract

One of the applications of linear programing is to get solutions for fully fuzzy linear system (FFLS) when the near-zero fuzzy number is considered.This usage could be applied to interpret the nature of FFLS solution according to the nature of FFLS solution in the work of Babbar et al.(Soft Comput. 17:1-12, 2012) and Kumar et al. (Advances in Fuzzy Systems 2011:1-8, 2011).This paper shows that the nature of FFLS solutions must not depend upon the nature of linear programming (LP) solutions, because LP is not enough to obtain all the exact solutions for FFLS which contradicts the claims of researchers.Counter examples are provided in order to falsify those claims.Numerically, we confirm that the nature of the possible way of solving FFLS is completely different from that of the linear system. For instance, FFLS may have two unique solutions which contradict the uniqueness that can be obtained through only one unique solution.
