Abstract

This study extended an existing semi-analytical technique, the Homotopy Perturbation Method, to the Block Homotopy Modified Perturbation Method by solving two n×n crisp triangular intuitionistic fuzzy (TIF) systems of linear equations. In the original system, the coefficient matrix is considered as real crisp, while the unknown variable vector and right hand side vector are regarded as triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. The Block Homotopy Modified Perturbation Method is found to be efficient and practical to solve n×n TIF linear systems as it only requires the non-singularity of the n×n TIF linear system's coefficient matrix, whereas the point Homotopy Perturbation Method and other classical numerical iterative methods typically require non-zero diagonal entries in the coefficient matrix. A set of theorems relevant to this study are presented and demonstrated. We solve an engineering application, i.e. a current flow circuit problem that is represented in terms of a triangular intuitionistic fuzzy environment, using the suggested method. The unknown current is then obtained as a triangle intuitionistic fuzzy number. The proposed semi-analytic method is used to solve some numerical test problems in order to validate their performance and efficiency in comparison to other existing techniques. The numerical results of the example are displayed on graphs with different degrees of uncertainty. The efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method are further demonstrated by comparisons to block Jacobi, Adomain Decomposition method, Successive Over-Relaxation method and the classical Gauss-Seidel numerical method.

SUBJECT CLASSIFICATION CODE:

1. Introduction

Systems of linear equations are used in many areas of chemical, biological, mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences, such as transportation system, circuit analysis, heat transport, structural and analytical mechanics, heat and mass transfer, fluid flow, and among others (see e.g. [Citation1–5]). Most problems we solve involve working with imprecise data. We can avoid these errors by representing the given data as fuzzy and more generally intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. Fuzzy set theory was first proposed by Zadeh [Citation6]. The arithmetic operations with fuzzy numbers were first introduced and analysed in [Citation7–13]. Fuzzy system of nonlinear equations play a significant role in modelling physical and engineering problems due to their ability to simulate real situation in order to deal with ambiguous systems. A fuzzy linear system of equations is a useful tool that accommodates fuzziness and uncertainty in situations like these. When there are linear relationships among variables that are interpreted in triangle intuitionistic fuzzy form, a triangular intuitionistic fuzzy system of equations must be used for the problem's linear optimization. Triangular intuitionistic fuzzy linear systems of equations are very beneficial for measuring unknown current in sophisticated pattern while analyzing circuits.

However, exact solutions to large fuzzy systems of linear equations (FSLEs) are difficult to achieve because of the complexity of the exact techniques required to obtain the exact solution. As a result, handling the corresponding FSLEs may necessitate the use of reliable and efficient numerical techniques. Therefore, in most of real world problems, the system parameters are expressed as triangular fuzzy numbers. Fuzzy linear systems of equations have been the subject of several studies, many of which discuss their practical applications. The present analysis makes use of the findings from several of these studies. Friedman et al. [Citation14] presented a general method for solving a n×n fuzzy linear system with a crisp coefficient matrix and an arbitrary fuzzy number vector in the right hand column. The authors replaced the original n×n fuzzy linear system with a crisp 2n×2n linear system using the embedding method described in [Citation15]. Solving a fuzzy linear system is therefore identical to solving a crisp linear system. Traditional point iterative techniques, like Jacobi, Gauss-Seidel, SOR and conjugate gradient methods fail when a diagonal element of the coefficient matrix is zero. As a result, analytical or semi-analytical approaches are used to solve a fuzzy linear system of equations.

Numerous methods have been used in recent years to solve fuzzy linear systems of equations with various fuzzy numbers, including the iterative algorithm [Citation14], Conjugate Gradient Method [Citation15], exact methods [Citation16–18], Steepest Descent Method [Citation19], Optimization Method [Citation20], Grobner Bases [Citation21], and LU Decomposition Method [Citation22,Citation23]. To solve triangular fuzzy linear system of equations, Buckly et al. [Citation24] used a-cut method and triangular fuzzy number [Citation25], Allahviranloo et al. [Citation26] used Newton's method. Cho et al. [Citation27] solved fuzzy linear systems of equations in probabilistic norm spaces, while Dennis et al. [Citation28] used Numerical Methods for Unconstrained Optimization and fuzzy nonlinear systems of Equations. Sulaiman et al. [Citation29] used Levenberg-Marquardt method to solve fuzzy nonlinear equations, Ma et al. [Citation30] discussed fuzzy dynamic systems, Mosleh [Citation31] found the solution of dual fuzzy polynomial equations by modified Adomian decomposition method [Citation32,Citation33], Akram et al. [Citation34–37] solved bipolar fuzzy linear system of equations. Jafari et al. [Citation38–41] solved fuzzy linear system of equation using Fuzzy control system. He et al. [Citation42] developed the homotopy perturbation method, an analytic method for nonlinear problems based on basic homotopy principles. The Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) combines classical perturbation with homotopy in topology to transform the original problem into a simple, fundamental one [Citation43,Citation44]. Najafi et al. [Citation45–48] used homotopy perturbation method and its application in linear programming problems [Citation49]. Using HPM frequently results in a relatively quick convergence of the solution series, with only a few iterations producing very precise outcomes. The HPM was utilized to solve fuzzy linear systems using triangular fuzzy numbers in [Citation50–53], and [Citation54], but we used the most generalized fuzzy number, TIF number [Citation55–58]. According to exact, analytical, semi-analytical, and numerical approaches, Table  analyses recent research contributions for the solving linear system of equations using a variety of fuzzy numbers.

1.1. Motivation

Our analysis of the literature shows that the number of works on intuitionistic systems of linear equations that employ exact and numerical techniques is somewhat limited. However, almost no research has been done on utilizing analytical techniques to solve intuitionistic fuzzy systems of linear equations. Consequently, working in this area has a lot of potential and opportunity. Since there hasn't been much research on solving fuzzy systems of linear equations, new, efficient analytical techniques must be developed. Motivated by the studies mentioned above, the main goal of the present work is to develop and analyse the Block Homotopy Modified Perturbation Method (BHMPM) for solving n×n fuzzy linear systems. The BHMPM is efficient and practical as it only requires the non-singularity of the n×n fuzzy linear systems coefficient matrix, whereas the point HPM method usually requires nonzero diagonal entries in the coefficient matrix. This article may be useful to other researchers in the future as they work to improve the analytical methods used to solve fuzzy systems of linear equations using broader definitions of fuzzy numbers.

1.2. Novelty

An innovative and efficient analytical approach is presented in this article for solving TIFLSEs, which is a significant contribution to the area, and gives a comprehensive approach to TIFLSEs models, which are applicable to real-world problems. These responses provide a more in-depth understanding of TIFLSEs and their importance in a variety of scientific and technical disciplines. To demonstrate the practical use of the suggested technique, the paper solves an electrical circuit problem. These examples demonstrate how successful and practical the proposed strategy is for resolving real-world problems. To solve TIFLSEs problems, these methods are inventive and provide a novel approach.

To illustrate the validity of the proposed techniques, some numerical test problems are considered. The main objective of this research work are summarized below.

  • BHMPM is developed and analysed to solve systems of TIF equations.

  • The computing complexity of the proposed BHMPM is examined in order to solve an unexplored linear system of TIF equations.

  • Numerical examples of a linear system of equations are taken into consideration in a TIF environment.

  • Use a triangular intuitionistic fuzzy system of linear equations (TIFLSEs) to solve a problem in engineering.

  • The efficiency and viability of the proposed approach are assessed using computational techniques.

  • The graphical solutions of the triangular linear intuitionistic fuzzy system of linear equations are analysed and discussed.

This article is divided into five sections. We look at some basic definitions and arithmetic operations of triangular, trapezoidal and intuitionistic fuzzy number in Section 2. We propose and analyse BHMPM iterative method for solving TIF linear system of equations (TIFLSEs) in Section 3. In Section 4, we demonstrate various numerical test examples and make conclusions in the last section.

2. Preliminaries

According to [Citation6–10], the basic concept of a fuzzy set is as follows:

Definition 2.1:

If H1, is a collection of objects and its objects are denoted by x then fuzzy ser H in H1, is a set of order pairs H={x,ξa~1(x):xH1}where ξa~1(x)=H1[0,1] is define the membership function. In order pair (x,ξa~1(x)), xH1 and ξa~1(x)[0,1].

Definition 2.2:

A fuzzy number is a fuzzy set, similar to x:RI=[0,1] which satisfies [Citation13] and [Citation9]:

  1. x(r) is upper semi continuous,

  2. x(r)=0 outside some interval [e1,e2],

  3. there are real numbers a1,a2 such that e1a1a2e2 and

    1. x(r) is monotonic increasing on [e1,a1]

    2. x(r) is monotonic decreasing on [a2,e2]

    3. x(r)=1, for [a1ra2]

In parametric form, a fuzzy number is defined as:

Definition 2.3:

We denote by E, the set of all fuzzy numbers. An equivalent parametric form is also given in [Citation69] and [Citation70] as follows:

  1. xL(r) is a bounded monotonic increasing left continuous function,

  2. xU(r) is a bounded monotonic decreasing left continuous function,

  3. xL(r)xU(r), 0r1.

The definitions for triangular and trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are as follows:

Definition 2.4:

A popular fuzzy number is the trapezoidal fuzzy [Citation32] number A, denoted by A=(e¨1,e¨2,e¨3,e¨4;ß),0< ß <1, is a fuzzy number with membership function as: ξ(x)={xe¨1e¨2e¨1if e¨1<x<e¨2,1if x[e¨2,e¨3],e¨4xe¨4e¨3e¨3<x<e¨4,0otherwise.and its parametric from xL(r)=e¨1+r(e¨2e¨1);xU(r)=e¨4r(e¨4e¨3).

Definition 2.5:

If e¨2=e¨3, then A(x)=(e¨1/e¨2/e¨4) is known as triangular fuzzy number [Citation75]. An intuitionistic fuzzy set, which is a generalization of fuzzy set, is defined as follows:

Definition 2.6:

Assume for fixed set X an intuitionistic fuzzy set [Citation71] H in X is H={x,ξa~1(x)ξa~2(x)0:xX},where ξa~1(x):X[0,1],ξa~2(x):X[0,1]define the membership and non-membership function respectively and xX,0<ξa~1(x)ξa~2(x)1.

Definition 2.7:

An intuitionistic fuzzy set [Citation72] H={x,ξa~1(x),ξa~2(x)xX}such that ξa~1(x) and 1ξa~1(x),∀xR are fuzzy numbers called intuitionistic fuzzy numbers.

Definition 2.8:

A triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number (TIFN) (see [Citation73]) H1 is a subset of TIFN having the following membership ξe¨m(x)={xe¨1e¨2e¨1for e¨1x<e¨2,xe¨3e¨2e¨3for e¨2<xe¨3,0otherwise,non-membership function ξe¨n(x)={e¨2xe¨2e¨1for e¨1x<e¨2,xe¨2e¨3e¨2for e¨2<xe¨3,0otherwiseand its parametric form is [e¨n](σ1,σ2)=[e¨1+r(e¨2e¨1),e¨3r(e¨3e¨2);e¨2r(e¨2e¨1),e¨2+r(e¨3e¨2)],where e¨1e¨2e¨3; e¨1e¨2e¨3. Triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number is geometrically presented in Figure .

Definition 2.9:

A=(e¨1,e¨1,e¨2,e¨3,e¨3) and B=a1,a1,a2,a3,a3 are said to be equal iff A=B i.e., e¨1=a1,e¨1=a1,e¨2=a2,e¨3=a3,e¨3=a3, AB=e¨1+a1,e¨1+a1,e¨2+a2,e¨3+a3,e¨3+a3, AB=e¨1a1,e¨1a1,e¨2a2,e¨3a3,e¨3a3,e¨i,ai0,i=13 and kA={(ke¨1,ke¨1,ke¨2,ke¨3,ke¨3),k>0,(ke¨3,ke¨3,ke¨2,ke¨1,ke¨1)k<0..For more arithmetic operations see [Citation74].

Definition 2.10:

The n×n linear systems [Citation75] (1) {a~11x1+a~12x2+.a~1nxn=y1,a~11x1+a~12x2+.a~1nxn=y2,a~n1x1+a~n2x2+.a~nnxn=yn.(1) or briefly AX=Y,where A=(a~ij), 1i,tn is a crisp matrix, Y=(y1,y2,yn)T is known yiϵE and X=(x1,x2,..,xn)T is unknown xiϵE, 1in, is called a TIFLSEs.

Definition 2.11:

A fuzzy number vector X=(x1,x2,xn)T given by xt=(xtL1(σ1),xtU1(σ1),xtL(σ2),xtU(σ2)), 1tn, 0σ1,σ21, is called solution of the TIFLSEs (1) if (2) {(t=1na~itxt)L=t=1n[a~itLxtL]=yiL,(t=1na~itxt)U=t=1n[a~itUxtU]=yiU,(t=1na~itxt)L=t=1n[a~itLxtL]=yiL,(t=1na~itxt)U=t=1n[a~itUxtU]=yiU.i=1,..n(2) By (2) and the operation of fuzzy numbers, Friedman et al. [Citation73] replace the original TIFLSEs (1) by an 2n×2n crisp linear system. (3) SXξe¨m=Yξe¨m or [B11C11C11B11][XL1XU1]=[YL1YU1],SXξe¨m=Yξe¨m or [B11C11C11B11][XLXU]=[YUYU],(3) where S=(Skl), 1 k,l2n,skl are determined as follows a~it0Sit= Si+m, t+n=a~it,a~it<0Sit,t+n=a~ij,Si+m, t=a~it,and any Skl which is not determined by the above items is zero and for σ1Cut Xξe¨m=[XL1XU1]=[x1L1...xnL1x1U1...xnU1], Yξe¨m=[YL1YU1]=[y1L1...ynL1y1U1...ynU1]and σ2Cut is Xξe¨m=[XLXU]=[x1L...xnLx1U...xnU], Yξe¨m=[YLYU]=[y1L...ynLy1U...ynU].The matrix B11 has the positive entries for A,C11, the absolute of the negative for A, and A=B11C11 . It is equivalent to solving the crisp linear system (3) to solve the fuzzy linear system (If and only if the coefficient matrix S is not singular), the crisp linear system (3) can be uniquely solved for X. The following theorem describes when S is non-singular.

Theorem 2.1:

The matrix S is non-singular if and only if A=B11C11 and B11+C11 are both non-singular. Matrix B contains the positive entries of A,C11, the absolute of the matrix. The solution vector X Xξe¨m, Xξe¨m represent a solution fuzzy vector to the TIFLSEs (1) if and only if (xtL1(σ1),xtU1(σ1),xtL(σ2),xtU(σ2))is a TIF number for all t.

Definition 2.12:

[Citation57] Let (4) X={xtL1(σ1),xtU1(σ1),xtL(σ2),xtU(σ2)},1tn(4) represent the solution of (3). They have a vector of fuzzy numbers. (5) E={(EtL1(σ1),EtU1(σ1),EtL(σ2),EtU(σ2),1tn}(5) defined by (6) {EtL1(σ1)=min{xtL1(σ1),xtU1(σ1),xtL(σ2),xtU(σ2),xtL1(1),xtU1(1),xtL(1),xtU(1)}EtU1(σ1)=max{xtL1(σ1),xtU1(σ1),xtL(σ2),xtU(σ2),xtL1(1),xtU1(1),xtL(1),xtU(1)}EtL(σ2)=min{xtL1(σ1),xtU1(σ1),xtL(σ2),xtU(σ2),xtL1(1),xtU1(1),xtL(1),xtU(1)}EtU(σ2)=max{xtL1(σ1),xtU1(σ1),xtL(σ2),xtU(σ2),xtL1(1),xtU1(1),xtL(1),xtU(1)}(6) is called the fuzzy solution of (3). If (xtL1(σ1),xtU1(σ1),xtL(σ2),xtU(σ2)), 1tn are all TIF number then (7) (EtL1(σ1)=xtL1(σ1),EtU1(σ1)=xtU1(σ1),EtL(σ1)=xtL(σ1),EtU(σ1)=xtU(σ1)),1tn(7) and E is called a strong TIF solution. Otherwise, E is called a weak TIF number solution [Citation76,Citation77].

The following theorem [Citation78] gives the unique solution of TIF linear system of equations.

Theorem 2.2:

Let S be non-singular. Then the unique solution X of (3) is always a fuzzy vector for arbitrary vector Y, if S1 is non-negative.

Proof:

It is sufficient to show that definition is hold for X. It is clear that have the same structure like S, i.e. (8) S1=[B11C11C11B11],(8) from X=S1Y, we have for σ1Cut (9) {B11YL1C11YU1=XL1,C11YL1+B11YU1=XU1,(9) and for σ2Cut (10) {B11YLC11YU=XL,C11YL+B11YU=XU.(10) Thus (11) (XU1XL1)=(B11+C11)(YU1YL1)0(11) and (12) (XUXL)=(B11+C11)(YUYL)0,(12) because (S1)ij0 and (YU1YL1)0,(YUYL)0. As Y=[Yξe¨m,Yξe¨m]=([YL1,YU1],[YL,YU]). Since YU1,YU are monotonically decreasing and YL1,YL are monotonically increasing, (9) is also necessary and sufficient for XU1,XU are monotonically decreasing and XL1,XL are monotonically increasing, respectively. The bounded left continuity of XU1,XU is obvious since they are the linear combination of YU1,YU. Hence the theorem is proved.

3. Block homotopy modified perturbation method (BHMPM)

The block HPM is an effective and practical approach for solving n×n triangular intuitionistic fuzzy linear systems, as it only requires the non-singularity of the n×n triangular coefficient matrix, whereas other methods such as the point HPM method and classical numerical iterative methods typically require non-zero diagonal entries in the coefficient matrix. Therefore, the BHMPM is a useful tool for solving TIFLSEs. Consider (13) {L(Eσ1)=SEσ1Y, F(Eσ1)=QEσ1Y,L(Eσ2)=SEσ2Y, F(Eσ2)=QEσ2Y,(13) where Q is nonsingular. We homotopy H(E,p) by (14) {H(Eσ1,O)=F(Eσ1), H(Eσ1,1)=L(Eσ1),H(Eσ2,O)=F(Eσ2), H(Eσ2,1)=L(Eσ2).(14) By choosing a convex homotopy as: (15) {H(Eσ1,p)=(1p)F(Eσ1)+pL(Eσ1)=0,H(Eσ2,p)=(1p)F(Eσ2)+pL(Eσ2)=0(15) and continuously trace an implicitly curve from a starting point  H(Eσ1,0), H(Eσ2,0) to a solution  H(Eσ1,1), H(Eσ2,1) . The embedding parameter  p monotonically increases from zero to one as the trivial problem  F(Eσ1)=0, F(Eσ2)=0 are continuously the original problem  L(Eσ1)=0, L(Eσ2)=0 . The embedding parameter p belong to [0,1] can be considered as an expanding parameter [Citation14] as: (16) {Eσ1=E0σ1+pE1σ1+p2E2σ1+Eσ2=E0σ2+pE1σ2+p2E2σ2+(16) when p1.(4) corresponds to L(Eσ2)=0, L(Eσ1)=0 and (13) becomes the approximate solution of (3), i.e. (17) {Xσ1=limp1(E0σ1+pE1σ1+)=k=0Ekσ1,Xσ2=limp1(E0σ2+pE1σ2+)=k=0Ek.(17) Substituting (15) into (16), then, for σ1 -Cut is as: (18) H(Eσ1,p)=(1p)(QEσ1Y)+p(SEσ1Y)(18) (19) =Q(E0σ1+pE1σ1+p2E1σ1+..)YpQ(E0σ1+pE1σ1+p2E1σ1+..)+pY+pS(E0σ1+pE1σ1+p2E1σ1+..)pY=(QE0σ1Y)p0+(QE1σ1+(SQ)E0σ1)p1+(19) and for σ1 -Cut, we have: (20) H(Eσ2,p)=(1p)(QEσ2Y)+p(SEσ2Y)(20) (21) =Q(E0σ2+pE1σ2+p2E1σ2+..)YpQ(E0σ2+pE1σ2+p2E1σ2+..)+pY+pS(E0σ2+pE1σ2+p2E1σ2+..)pY=(QE0σ2Y)p0+(QE1σ2+(SQ)E0σ2)p1+(21) By equating the terms with identical powers of p, we have (22) pσ10:QE0σ1Yσ1=0,(22) (23) pσ1k:QEkσ1+(SQ)Ek1σ1=0 k=1,2,(23) and (24) pσ20:QE0σ2Yσ2=0,(24) (25) pσ2k:QEkσ2+(SQ)Ek1σ2=0 k=1,2,(25) This implies that (26) E0σ1=Q1Yσ1,(26) (27) Ekσ1=(IQ1S)Ek1σ1, k=1,2,(27) and (28) E0σ2=Q1Yσ2,(28) (29) Ekσ2=(IQ1S)Ek1σ2, k=1,2,(29) where I is a 2n-order indent. Moreover, we can rewrite Ek σ1,Ek σ2 in terms of the vector Yσ1,Yσ2 as (30) Ekσ1=(IQ1S)kQ1Yσ1,k=1,2,(30) (31) Ekσ2=(IQ1S)kQ1Yσ2,k=1,2,(31) Hence, the solution of (3) can be in the form for σ1Cut is (32) Eσ1=E0σ1+E1σ1+E2σ1+or(32) (33) Xσ1=[Q1+(IQ1S)kQ1+(IQ1S)2Q1+]Yσ1=k=0(IQ1S)kQ1Yσ1(33) and for σ1Cut is given by (34) Eσ2=E0σ2+E1σ2+E2σ2+or(34) (35) Xσ2=[Q1+(IQ1S)kQ1+(IQ1S)2Q1+]Yσ2=k=0(IQ1S)kQ1Yσ2.(35) in practice, all terms of series (10) cannot be determined and so we use approximation of the solution by the following truncated series: (36) Xσ1=[k=0m1(IQ1S)kQ1Yσ1](36) and (37) Xσ2=[k=0m1(IQ1S)kQ1Yσ2].(37) The convergence of the aforementioned series’ results is given by the following theorem.

Theorem 3.1:

The sequence (38) Eσ1=[k=0m1(IQ1S)kQ1Yσ1],(38) (39) Eσ2=[k=0m1(IQ1S)kQ1Yσ2](39) is convergent if (40) ||(IQ1S)k||<1,(40) where ||.|| denote any norm of a matrix . To find the solution of linear system (3). A non-singular matrix Q should be chosen. Using theorem 2, the matrix Q can be chosen as (41) {Q=Qσ1=Qσ2=[B11C1100B11C11],orQ=Qσ1=Qσ2=[B11+C1100B+C11],(41) or different block patterns see, for instance, [Citation31]. Suppose the matrix Q is chosen as (42) Q=Qσ1=Qσ2=[B11C1100BC11],(42) then we have (43) IQ1S=[I(B11C11)1B11(B11C11)1C11(B11C11)1C11I(B11C11)1B11],(43) where I is an indent matrix with order n.

4. Numerical outcomes

Some examples [Citation32–37] are presented here to illustrate the performance and efficiency of BHMPM, Adomian decomposition method (ADMM), Jacobi (JCM), Successive Over-Relaxation method (SORM) and Gauss-Seidel (GSM) method to solve TFNLSEs. CAS-Maple18 with the following stopping criteria are used to terminate the computer programme: (i) en=||Xσ1(k+1)Xσ1(k)||||Xσ1(k+1)||<∈,(ii) en=||Xσ2(k+1)Xσ2(k)||||Xσ2(k+1)||<∈,where en represents the absolute error. We take ∈=105.

Algorithm 1: BHMPM method for solving TIFLSEs

Example 1:

Information on power sources, such batteries, and the devices they power, like light bulbs or motors, is provided by electrical networks [Citation37]. It is possible to calculate the currents passing through various electrical network branches using systems of linear equations. Current flows through the network from a power source, passing through different resistors that need to be forcefully opened in order for the current to pass through.

Ohm's Law

An resistor's voltage loss across it can be calculated using V=IR

Kirchhoff's Law

Junction: Every current that enters a junction needs to exit it as well.

Path: The overall voltage in a path is equal to the sum of the IR terms in all directions around a closed path.

Method

The purpose is to determine the circuit's currents, x1, x2 andx3. We can construct a system of linear equations by applying Kirchhoff's and Ohm's Law. Let us assume that the currents in each of the circuit's branches arex1, x2 andx3. According to Kirchhoff's Law, the circuit's two intersections are at points B and D. Two closed routes, ABDA and CBDC, can be shown in Figure . When Kirchhoff's Law is applied to the pathways and crossings, the following results. Figure , Illustrates the engineering application's usage of the electrical network problem [Citation79] in Example 1.

Figure 2. Illustrates the engineering application's usage of the electrical network problem in Example 1.

Figure 2. Illustrates the engineering application's usage of the electrical network problem in Example 1.

JUNCTIONS:

B: x1+x2=x3

D: x3=x1+x2

A single linear equation is produced by these two equations: x1+x2+x3=(15,18,21)(11,18,25)PATHS:

ABDA: 4x1+x3=(37,42,47)(31,42,53)

CBDC: 4x2+x3=(13,18,23)(7,18,29)

A system of three linear equations with three unknowns is known to exist. Therefore, the issue can be solved by solving the system of three linear equations in three variables as follows:

Consider TIFLSEs-I is x1+x2+x3=(15,18,21)(11,18,25),4x1+x3=(37,42,47)(31,42,53),4x2+x3=(13,18,23)(7,18,29),and [b1](σ1,σ2)=[b1L,b1U],[b1L,b1U], [b2](σ1,σ2)=[b2L,b2U],[b2L,b2U],[x1](σ1,σ2)=[x1L,x1U],[x1L,x1U],[x2](σ1,σ2)=[x2L,x2U],[x2L,x2U]and [x3](σ1,σ2)=[x3L,x3U],[x3L,x3U].

Thus, parametric form of the above system is {[x1L,x1U1],[x1L,x1U]+[x2L,x2U1],[x2L,x2U]+[x3L,x3U1],[x3L,x3U]=[15+3σ1,213σ1],[187σ2,18+7σ2]4[x1L,x1U1],[x1L,x1U]+[x3L,x3U1],[x3L,x3U]=[37+5σ1,475σ1],[4211σ2,42+11σ2]4[x2L,x2U1],[x2L,x2U]+[x3L,x3U1],[x3L,x3U]=[13+5σ1,235σ1],[1811σ2,18+11σ2]The σ1 -Cut of the TIFLSEs-I is {1[x1L,x1U1]+1[x2L,x2U1]+[x3L,x3U1]=[15+3σ1,213σ1]4[x1L,x1U1]+1[x3L1,x3U1]=[37+5σ1,475σ1]4[x2L,x2U1]+[x3L1,x3U1]=[13+5σ1,235σ1]or {(x1L1)+(x2L1)+1(x3L1)+0(x1U1)+0(x2U1)+0(x3U1)=15+3σ14(x1L1)+0(x2L1)+1(x3L1)+0(x1U1)+0(x2U1)+0(x3U1)=37+5σ10(x1L1)+4(x2L1)+1(x3L1)+0(x1U1)+0(x2U1)+0(x3U1)=13+5σ10(x1L1)+0(x2L1)+0(x3L1)+(x1U1)+(x2U1)+(x3U1)=213σ10(x1L1)+0(x2L1)+0(x3L1)+4(x1U1)+0(x2U1)+(x3U1)=475σ10(x1L1)+0(x2L1)+0(x3L1)+0(x1U1)+4(x2U1)+(x3U1)=235σ1In matrix notation the above TIFLSEs-I for σ1Cut is written as: (111000401000041000000111000401000041)(x1L1x2L1x3L1x1U1x2U1x3U1)=(15+3σ137+5σ113+5σ1213σ1475σ1235σ1).The exact solution of TIFLSEs-I for σ1Cut is given as: (x1L1x2L1x3L1x1U1x2U1x3U1)=(1238180001218380002121200000012381800012183800021212)(15+3σ137+5σ113+5σ1213σ1475σ1235σ1)=(8+σ12+σ15+σ110σ14σ17σ1).The σ2 -Cut of the TIFLSEs-I is {[x1L,x1U]+[x2L,x2U][x3L,x3U]=[187σ2,18+7σ2]4[x1L,x1U]+1[x3L,x3U]=[4211σ2,42+11σ2]4[x2L,x2U]+[x3L,x3U]=[1811σ2,18+11σ2]or {(x1L)+(x2L)+(x3L)+0(x1U)+0(x2U)+0(x3U)=187σ24(x1L)+0(x2L)+1(x3L)+0(x1U)+0(x2U)+0(x3U)=4211σ20(x1L)+4(x2L)+1(x3L)+0(x1U)+0(x2U)+0(x3U)=1811σ20(x1L)+0(x2L)+0(x3L)+(x1U)+(x2U)+(x3U)=18+7σ20(x1L)+(x2L)+0(x3L)+4(x1U)+0(x2U)+(x3U)=42+11σ20(x1L)+0(x2L)+0(x3L)+(x1U)+4(x2U)+(x3U)=18+11σ2In matrix notation the above TIFLSEs-I for σ2Cut is written as: (111000401000041000000111000401000041)(x1Lx2Lx3Lx1Ux2Ux3U)=(117σ24211σ21811σ218+7σ242+11σ218+11σ2).The exact solution of TIFLSEs-I for σ2Cut is given as: (x1Lx2Lx3Lx1Ux2Ux3U)=(1238180001218380002121200000012381800012183800021212)(117σ24211σ21811σ218+7σ242+11σ218+11σ2)=(92σ232σ263σ29+2σ23+2σ26+3σ2).The exact solution of TIFLSEs-I with parameter σ1,σ2 is given as: X1=[x1](σ1,σ2)=[x1L1,x1U1],[x1L,x1U]=[8+σ1,10σ1],[92σ2,9+2σ2]X2=[x2](σ1,σ2)=[x2L1,x2U1],[x2L,x2U]=[2+σ1,4σ1],[32σ2,3+2σ2]and X3=[x3](σ1,σ2)=[x3L1,x3U1],[x3L,x3U]=[5+σ1,7σ1],[63σ2,6+3σ2]We apply HPM by taking U`=(111000401000041000000111000401000041),Yσ1=(15+3σ137+5σ113+5σ1213σ1475σ1235σ1),Yσ2=(117σ24211σ21811σ218+7σ242+11σ218+11σ2),Gˆσ=(111000401000041000000111000401000041),E0L=(8.12+1.02σ12.21+1.24σ15.45+1.47σ110.121.34σ14.521.47σ17.341.78σ1),E0U=(9.112.02σ23.012.04σ26.013.12σ29.12+2.02σ23.014+2.01σ26.01+3.1023σ2).

The exact solution of the TFLSEs without σ1,σ2Cut is given as: ξe¨m(x1)={x81if 8<x<91if x[9,9]x1019<x<100otherwise.,ξe¨n(x1)={9x2if 7<x<91if x[9,9]9x29<x<110otherwise.ξe¨m(x2)={x21if 2<x<31if x[3,3]x413<x<40otherwise.,ξe¨n(x2)={3x2if 1<x<31if x[3,3]3x23<x<50otherwise.ξe¨m(x3)={x51if 5<x<61if x[6,6]x716<x<70otherwise.,A method is said to be stable when the solution it produces is unaffected by minor changes in the inputs and parameters and when it is anticipated that such changes will have an influence on the equations and conditions. In this study, we suggested comparing the BHMPM with other existing approaches, such as GSM and JCM, by providing examples and examining the stability of the BHMPM.

Table  compares numerically the computational time seconds (CPU-time), number of iterations (NS), and residual error (ERR) of BHMPM, GSM, JCM, ADMM and SORM for handling engineering applications. We can conclude from Table  that the BHMPM has better convergence behaviour and is more stable than the GGSM, JCM, ADMM and SORM technique. We examine the fuzzy linear system equation's solutions while perturbing the fuzzy linear system's alpha-parameter. In comparison to the previous numerical and semi-analytical solutions, the homotopy block technique provides the better approximate solutions starting with the initial solution.

The exact solution of TIFLSEs-II with parameter σ1,σ2 is given as: X1=[x1](σ1,σ2)=[x1L1,x1U1],[x1L,x1U]=[16+4σ1,244σ1],[2016σ1,20+16σ1],X2=[x2](σ1,σ2)=[x2L1,x2U1],[x2L,x2U]=[28+8σ1,322σ1],[304σ2,30+4σ2]and X3=[x3](σ1,σ2)=[x3L1,x3U1],[x3L,x3U]=[8+2σ1,82σ1],[104σ2,10+4σ2].We apply BHMPM by taking U`=(231000312000123000000231000312000123),Yσ1=(128+12σ196+14σ152+08σ115212σ112414σ106808σ1),Yσ2=(14040σ211052σ26024σ2140+40σ2110+52σ260+24σ2), Gˆσ=(230001302010123000001230010302000123),E0L=(40.28571429+4.714285714σ114.0+σ15.428571429+.4285714286σ149.714285714.714285714σ116.01.σ14.5714285710.4285714286σ1),E0U=(6.7857+.44218σ27.5000.61905σ21.0714.97279σ26.7857.44218σ27.5000+.61905σ21.0714+.97279σ2).Approximate solution of the TIFLSEs-III obtained by BHMPM after four iterations is Xσ1=(16.733+4.0004σ1.28.001+1.9994σ16.9014+1.9991σ124.7334.0004σ131.9991.9994σ110.9001.9991σ1),Xσ2=(20.73316.001σ230.0003.9988σ209.9003.9980σ220.733+16.001σ230.000+3.9988σ209.900+3.9980σ2).The desired accuracy of the solutions with ∈=105 is acquired after 25 iterations and 1.567s, 1.032s computational CPU-time in the JCM and GSM methods, however, in the BHMPM method, we obtain an estimated solution up to 30 decimal places i.e. ∈=1030 after four iterations and 0.011s computational CPU-time. The exact solution of the TFLSEs-III without σ1,σ2Cut is given as: ξe¨m(x1)={x82if 08<x<10,1if x[10,10],x12210<x<12,0otherwise.,ξe¨n(x1)={10x4if 6<x<10,1if x[10,10],10x410<x<14,0otherwise.ξe¨m(x2)={x282if 28<x<30,1if x[30,30],x32230<x<32,0otherwise., ξe¨n(x2)={30x4if 26<x<30,1if x[30,30],30x430<x<34,0otherwise.ξe¨m(x3)={x164if 16<x<20,1if x[20,20],x24420<x<24,0otherwise.,ξe¨n(x3)={20x4if 4<x<20,1if x[20,20],20x420<x<36,0otherwise.Table  compares numerically the computational time seconds (CPU-time), number of iterations (NS), and residual error (ERR) of BHMPM, GSM, and JCM for solving TIFLSEs-III. We can conclude from Table  that the BHMPM has better convergence behaviour and is more stable than the GSM and JCM technique.

We can conclude from Table  that the BHMPM has better convergence behaviour and is more stable than the GSM and JCM technique.

5. Results and discussion

  • In comparison to GSM, JCM, ADMM, and SORM, BHMPM is found to converge much faster and to be more efficient for solving TIFLSEs.

  • The BHMPM method's primary benefit is that it can resolve all varieties of fuzzy TIFLSEs.

  • A practical benefit of the BHMPM is that it lowers computation costs while keeping enhanced numerical solution accuracy.

  • A large class system of TIFLSEs can be efficiently, quickly, and correctly solved by BHMPM using closed form solutions that quickly converge to exact solutions.

  • The BHMPM has been shown to be quite effective and produces large accuracy reductions, calculation time savings, and accuracy significantly, as shown in Figures  and Tables .

6. Conclusion

In this research, BHMPM was used to solve a n×n triangular intuitionistic fuzzy linear systems of equations with 2n×2n crisp coefficients, an unknown triangular intuitionistic fuzzy variable, and the right hand side vector as intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. The BHMPM was found to be efficient and practical since it only requires the non-singularity of the coefficient matrix of TIFLS while the Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel methods required either a dominating diagonal value or non-zero diagonal entries in the coefficient matrix. By comparing approximate results with exact solution, we have shown this method to be more reliable. Numerical examples demonstrate that the BHMPM is an effective method for resolving triangular intuitionistic fuzzy linear problems. Also, BHMPM outperforms, Adomins decomposition method, Successive Over-Relaxation method, block Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel methods in terms of the number of iterations, computational time in second (CPU-time) and the Haussdorff distance. Therefore, the future studies will focus on solving generalized TIFLSEs, and its application in a generalized intuitionistic fuzzy environment.
