The possibilistic moments of fuzzy numbers and their applications

This paper, introduces the nearest weighted interval and point approximations of a fuzzy number, and then suggests weighted possibilistic moments about these points of fuzzy numbers. The possibilistic moments play an important role in fuzzy sets and systems, specifically in physics, mathematics and statistics. We provide the definition of the moments of fuzzy numbers as well as the definition of moments in probability theory; some of their applications are mentioned.
