Abstract

This chapter presents some case studies using fuzzy equivalent uniform annual worth analysis. It includes three case studies and each case is studied for both crisp and fuzzy cases. Trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and correlated, uncorrelated, and partially correlated cash flows are handled in the cases.
