A new method for solving differential equations with vague parameters

In the literature, it is pointed out that it is better to use vague sets instead of fuzzy sets. Several authors have proposed different methods for solving such differential equations in which all the parameters are represented by fuzzy numbers but to the best of our knowledge till now no one have represented the same as vague sets. In this paper, a new representation of (α, β)-cut, named as JMD (α, β)-cut, is proposed and with the help of JMD (α, β)-cut a new method is proposed to find the analytical solution of vague differential equations. To show the application of proposed method in real life problems the vague Kolmogorov’s differential equations, obtained by using vague Markov model of piston manufacturing system, are solved by proposed method. Also, to show the advantage of JMD (α, β)-cut over existing (α, β)-cut the same vague Kolmogorov’s differential equations are solved by using the proposed method with the help of existing (α, β)-cut and it is shown that the obtained results are not necessarily vague sets while the results, obtained by using JMD (α, β)-cut, are always vague sets.
