Abstract

In this paper, we consider the system of linear equations \(A\tilde {x}=\tilde {b}\), where \(A\in \mathbb {R}^{n \times n}\) is a crisp H-matrix and \(\tilde {b}\) is a fuzzy n-vector. We then investigate the existence and uniqueness of a fuzzy solution to this system. The results can also be used for the class of M-matrices and strictly diagonally dominant matrices. Finally, some numerical examples are given to illustrate the presented theoretical results.
