1 Introduction
In order to solve an n×n fuzzy linear system of equation, Friedman et al. in [14] proposed
a general model which replaces the original n × n fuzzy linear system by 2n × 2n crisp
function linear system. Authors such as Abbasbandy et al. in [1], [2], Allahviranloo et al.
in [3], [4], [5] and Dehghan and Hashemi [11] have extended the work of Friedman.
There have been application of fuzzy differential equation (FDEs) to model problems
where the degree of ambiguity is high [19]. FDEs can be studied by several approaches.
The Hukuhara differentiability for fuzzy number valued functions was the first approach
which has been utilized. Fuzzy differential equations were first formulated by Kaleva [18]
and Seikkala [22] in time dependent form. A very general formulation of a fuzzy first-order
initial value problem, has been given by Buckley and Feuring [9]. In their formulas, first
the crisp solution is found, fuzzified and then it is compared to see whether it satisfies
the FDEs. Also, Puri and Ralescu [21] have discussed several different methods. The

existence and uniqueness of the solution of a fuzzy differential equation were investigated
in [21].
Pearson [20] using complex number representation has studied linear fuzzy differential
equations of the form x(t) = Ax(t) where A is a real n×n matrix and the initial condition
x(0) is a vector of n fuzzy numbers. Otadi et. al. [19] have investigated the solution of
a special system of linear homogenous FDEs of the form x(t) = Ax(t) + Bx(t), with
initial condition x(0) = x0 where A and B are real n× n matrix and the initial condition
x0 is a vector of fuzzy numbers. The embedding method was used to solve the system.
Fard [13] has extended this approach and has solved non-homogenous FDEs of the form
x(t) = Ax(t)+Bx(t)+f(t), with initial condition x(0) = x0 by using variational iteration
method.
We consider the initial problem x(t) = α(A − In) [t(A − In) + In]−1 x(t), x(0) = x0
where A is an n×n matrix that has non-negative eigenvalues in real axis. This initial value
problem was introduced by Davis and Higham in [10]. In our paper, x0 is fuzzified and
the embedding method is used to solve the fuzzified initial value problem. By using some
special functions of matrix, the fuzzy solution of fuzzy differential equation is obtained.
Furthermore, the necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of fuzzy solution x(t)
is presented.
The outline of the paper is as follows: In Section 2 we will present basic concepts.
In Section 3 we will discuss the necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of
solution of FDEs. A numerical example will be given in Section 4 and the conclusions
will be presented in Section 5.
2 Preliminaries
In this section, several basic concepts of fuzzy system, fuzzy differential equation and
function of matrices are recalled.
2.1 Basic definitions
A nonempty subset A of R is called convex if and only if (1 − ξ)x + ξy ∈ A for every
x, y ∈ A and ξ ∈ [0, 1] [18].
Definition 2.1: [18] A fuzzy number is a function u : R → [0, 1] satisfying the following
properties:
Systems of fuzzy differential equation 2089
1. u is normal, i.e. ∃x0 ∈ R with u(x0) = 1;
2. u is a convex fuzzy set i.e u(ξx + (1− ξ)y) ≥ min{u(x), u(y)}, ∀x, y ∈ R, ξ ∈ [0, 1];
3. u is upper semi-continuous on R;
4. {x ∈ R : u(x) > 0} is compact, where A denotes the closure of A.
Following [5], the family of fuzzy numbers will be denoted by E. For 0 < r ≤ 1, [u]r
denotes {x ∈ R : u(x) > r} and[u]0 denotes {x ∈ R : u(x) > 0}. It should be noted that
for any 0 ≤ r ≤ 1, [u]r is a bounded closed interval. For u, v ∈ E and λ ∈ R, the sum
u + v and the product λu can be defined by [u + v]r = [u]r + [v]r, [λu]r = λ[u]r, r ∈ [0, 1]
, where [u]r + [v]r means the addition of two intervals of R and [u]r means the product
between a scalar and a subset of R.
Arithmetic operation of arbitrary fuzzy numbers u = (u(r), u(r)), v = (v(r), v(r)) and
λ ∈ R, can be defined as [14]:
u = v iff u(r) = v(r) and u(r) = v(r),
u + v = (u(r) + v(r), u(r) + v(r)),
u − v = (u(r) − v(r), u(r) − v(r)),
λu =
⎧⎨⎩(λu(r), λu(r)), λ ≥ 0,
(λu(r), λu(r)), λ < 0.
(2.1)
Note that crisp number σ is simply represented by u(r) = u(r) = σ, 0 ≤ r ≤ 1.
In the following we recall some definitions concerning fuzzy differential equations.
Definition 2.2: A mapping f : T → E for some interval T ⊆ R is called a fuzzy process.
Therefore, its r-level set can be written as follows [13],
[f(t)]r = [f r−(t), f r
+(t)]r, t ∈ T, r ∈ [0, 1]. (2.2)
Definition 2.3: [18] A function f : T → E is said to be Hukuhara differentiable at
t0 ∈ T , if there exists an element f ′(t0) ∈ E such that for all h > 0 sufficiently small. In
other words there exist f(t0 + h)Hf(t0), f(t0)Hf(t0 − h) such that
limh→0+
f(t0 + h)Hf(t0)
h= lim
h→0+
f(t0)Hf(t0 − h)
h= f ′(t0) (2.3)
2090 A. Sadeghi et al
Where w = uHv is Hukuhara difference which for u, v ∈ E is defined by u = v + w. If
f : T → E be Hukuhara differentiable then, the boundary function f r+(t) and f r
+(t) are
(Seikkala) differentiable [22] and
[f ′(t)]r = [(f r−(t))′, (f r
+(t))′]r, t ∈ T, r ∈ [0, 1]. (2.4)
2.2 Fuzzy linear systems
Definition 2.4: [14] The n × n system of linear equations
n∑j=1
aijxj = yi, i = 1, . . . , n. (2.5)
where the coefficient matrix A = (aij), 1 ≤ i, j ≤ n, is a crisp n × n matrix and yi ∈E, 1 ≤ i ≤ n, is called a fuzzy system of linear equations (FLE).
Two crisp n×n linear systems for all i can be extended to an 2n× 2n crisp linear system
as follows:
If aij ≥ 0 for i, j = 1, . . . , 2n, then we can put si,j = si+n,j+n = aij .
If aij < 0 for i, j = 1, . . . , n, then we can put si,j+n = si+n,j = aij.
In other words, S1, S2, A = S1 − S2, S1 + S2 = |A| = (|aij|), i, j = 1, . . . , n, and

⎞⎟⎟⎟⎟⎠ , y =
⎛⎜⎜⎜⎜⎝

⎞⎟⎟⎟⎟⎠
By using matrix notation, an 2n × 2n linear system of equation can be obtained as
SX = Y . (2.6)
where S =(
S1 −S2−S2 S1
), X =
(xx
), and Y =
( y
y
).
Theorem 2.1: [14] The unique solution X of Equation (2.6) is a fuzzy vector for arbitrary
Y if and only if S−1 is nonnegative, i.e, (sij)−1 ≥ 0.
Theorem 2.2: [14] The matrix S is nonsingular if and if only the matrices S1 − S2 and
S1 + S2 are both singular.

2.3 Function of matrix
Suppose f(z) is an analytic function on a closed contour Γ which encircles spec(A), where
spec(A) denote the set of eigenvalues of matrix A. A function of matrix can be defined
by using Cauchy integral definition
f(A) =1
2πi
∮Γ
f(z)(zI − A)−1dz (2.7)
The entries of (zI − A)−1 are analytic on Γ and f(A) is analytic in a neighborhood of
spec(A) [15]. Matrix exponential, matrix logarithm and matrix pth root are examples of
function of matrices and are defined as follows.
Definition 2.5: (Exponential) [15] The exponential of A ∈ Cn×n, denoted by eA or
exp(A), is defined by exp(A) =∑∞
i=0Ai
i!.
Definition 2.6: (Principal logarithm) [17] Suppose A is an n × n matrix. A unique
matrix X which satisfies the nonlinear matrix equation eX − A = 0 such that the eigen-
values of X lie in the strip {z : −π < Im(z) < π} is called the principal logarithm of A,
and is denoted by X = log A.
Definition 2.7: (principal pth root) [24] Let A be an n × n matrix. A unique matrix
X that satisfy the nonlinear matrix equation Xp − A = 0 such that all of eigenvalues of
X lie in the segment {z : −π/p < arg(z) < π/p}, is called the principal pth root of A and
is denoted by X = A1/p.
3 System of fuzzy ordinary differential equation
In this section, the homogenous system of fuzzy differential equation⎧⎨⎩x(t) = α(A − In) [t(A − In) + In]−1 x(t),
x(0) = x0
(3.1)
where x(t) = dxdt
, will be solved. In the following theorem the general solution of the
nonhomogeneous equation is presented.
Theorem 3.1: Let A ∈ Cn×n have non-negative real eigenvalues and α ∈ R. The
2092 A. Sadeghi et al
non-homogeneous initial value ordinary differential equation problem⎧⎨⎩x(t) = α(A − In) [t(A − In) + In]−1 x(t) + f(t, x),
x(0) = x0
(3.2)
has a unique solution
x(t) = [t(A − In) + In]α x0 +
∫ t
0
[(t(A − In) + In)(s(A − In) + In)−1
]αf(s, x)ds (3.3)
Proof: For proving this theorem we utilize the following facts [16]
1.∫ t
0(A − In) [s(A − In) + In]−1 ds = log [t(A − In) + In],
2. log A commutes with [t(A − In) + In]−1.
By considering equation (3.2), we can multiply the factor e−α log[t(A−In)+In] to both sides
of equation (3.2) as follows
(x(t) − α(A − In) [t(A − In) + In]−1 x(t)
)e−α log[t(A−In)+In] = f(t, x)e−α log[t(A−In)+In]
(3.4)
Then we have
d
dt
(e−α log[t(A−In)+In]x(t)
)= f(t, x)e−α log[t(A−In)+In] (3.5)
Integrating both sides, we have∫ s
0
d
dt
(e−α log[t(A−In)+In]x(t)
)dt =
∫ s
0
f(t, x)e−α log[t(A−In)+In]dt (3.6)
Hence, it can be obtained that
e−α log[s(A−In)+In]x(s) − x(0) =
∫ s
0
f(t, x)e−α log[t(A−In)+In]dt (3.7)
x(s) = eα log[s(A−In)+In]x(0) +
∫ s
0
f(t, x)eα log[s(A−In)+In]e−α log[t(A−In)+In]dt (3.8)
Therefore, it can be obtained
x(t) = [t(A − In) + In]α x0 +
∫ t
0
[(t(A − In) + In)(s(A − In) + In)−1
]αf(s, x)ds.

�For t = 1 we can obtain
x(1) = Aαx0 + Aα
∫ 1
0
[s(A − In) + In]−α f(s, x)ds.
It should be emphasized that for homogenous case (f(x, t) = 0) Theorem 3.1 can be
replaced by Theorem 2 in [10]. As we mentioned in Section 2 the derivative x(t) of a
fuzzy process x(t) can be defined as
x(t, r) = (x(t, r), x(t, r)), 0 ≤ r ≤ 1 (3.9)
provided that is equation defines a fuzzy number [22]. A is an n × n real matrix and a
vector made up of n fuzzy numbers described the initial condition x0. We study a specific
linear problem, where the parameters known and the initial condition of the system is
fuzzy. It is well known that there is no inverse element for an arbitrary fuzzy number
u ∈ E. In other words, there exists no element v ∈ E such that u + v = 0. In fact, for all
non-crisp fuzzy number u ∈ E we have u + (−u) = 0 [13,19]. Thus, the system of linear
fuzzy differential equation (3.1) cannot be equivalently replaced by the system of linear
fuzzy equations equations
⎧⎨⎩x(t, r) = α(A − In) [t(A − In) + In]−1 x(t, r),
x(0, r) = x0
(3.10)
which had been considered. Consider the system of linear fuzzy differential equations
(3.1). We are going to transform its n × n system with coefficient matrix A into 2n × 2n
system with coefficient matrix S. Define matrix S = (sij) where can be determined as
follows
If aij ≥ 0 for i, j = 1, . . . , 2n, then we can put si,j = si+n,j+n = aij .
If aij < 0 for i, j = 1, . . . , 2n, then we can put si,j+n = si+n,j = −aij .
while all the remaining sij are taken zero. Using matrix notation the following system
can be obtained
⎧⎨⎩x(t, r) = α(S − I2n) [t(S − I2n) + I2n]−1 x(t, r)
x(0, r) = x0
(3.11)
2094 A. Sadeghi et al
where S and I2n are 2n × 2n matrices, and
x(t, r) =
⎛⎜⎜⎜⎜⎜⎜⎜⎜⎜⎝
x1(t, r)...
xn(t, r)
x1(t, r)...

⎛⎜⎜⎜⎜⎜⎜⎜⎜⎜⎝

⎞⎟⎟⎟⎟⎟⎟⎟⎟⎟⎠
. (3.12)
Thus, the solution of fuzzy differential equation is
x(t, r) = [t(S − I2n) + I2n]α x0 (3.13)
However, x(t, r) may still not be the appropriate fuzzy vector. The following theorem
provides necessary and sufficient conditions for x(t, r) be a fuzzy vector. First we will
show the matrix t(S − I2n) + I2n must be positive definite.
Theorem 3.2: [15] An arbitrary matrix is positive definite if and only if all its eigenvalues
are positive.
Theorem 3.3: If t((S1 − S2) − In) + In and t((S1 + S2) − In) + In for t > 0 are positive
definite matrix then t(S − I2n) + I2n is a symmetric positive definite matrix.
Proof: Clearly t(S − I2n)+ I2n is a symmetric matrix. Suppose that t((S1 −S2)− In)+ In
and t((S1 + S2) − In) + In are positive definite matrix. Let λ > 0 be a eigenvalue of
t(S − I2n) + I2n =
(tS1 + (1 − t)In tS2
tS2 tS1 + (1 − t)In
). (3.14)
Then, there exist x1,x2 = 0 such that(tS1 + (1 − t)In tS2
tS2 tS1 + (1 − t)In
)(x1
x2
)= λ
(x1
x2
)(3.15)
Thus, we have ⎧⎨⎩[tS1 + (1 − t)In]x1 + tS2x1 = λx1
tS2x1 + [tS1 + (1 − t)In]x2 = λx2
(3.16)
Systems of fuzzy differential equation 2095
By addition and subtraction of (3.16), it can be obtained⎧⎨⎩tS1(x1 + x2) − tS2(x1 + x2) + (1 − t)(x1 + x2) = λ(x1 + x2)
tS1(x1 − x2) + tS2(x1 − x2) + (1 − t)(x1 − x2) = λ(x1 − x2)(3.17)
or ⎧⎨⎩t(S1 − S2)(x1 + x2) + (1 − t)(x1 + x2) = λ(x1 + x2)
t(S1 + S2)(x1 − x2) + (1 − t)(x1 − x2) = λ(x1 − x2)(3.18)
Clearly, λ is the eigenvalue of (S1 − S2) and (S1 + S2), which proves the theorem. �
Now, it is known that Aα can be obtained by using Aα = exp(α log A), where the log
is the principal logarithm. For α = 1/p, when p an integer, we have A1/p. It should be
mentioned that by using commutativity relation, it can be written
(Aα)p = exp(α log A)p = exp(pα log A) = exp(log A) = A
Therefore, Aα is some pth root of A. To determine which root it is, we need to find
its spectrum. The eigenvalues of Aα are of the form e1p
log λ, where λ is an eigenvalue of
A. Now log λ = x + iy with y ∈ (−π, π), and so e1p
log λ = ex/peiy/p lies in the segment
{z : −π/p < arg(z) < π}. The spectrum of Aα is therefore precisely that of A1/p, so these
two matrices are one and the same [16]. It is known that if positive definite matrix A has
positive entries then Aα has positive entries. Therefore, by using this point we have the
fuzzy solution for fuzzy differential equation.

It remain to compute αth root of a matrix. For t = 0.1, 0.2, . . . , 1 the approximate
solution for α = 1/7 and α = 3/5 are obtained in Tables 1 to 4.
5 Conclusion
A technique for approximating the solution of a time dependent system of fuzzy linear differentialequations is presented. The necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a fuzzy solutionis proposed. The original fuzzy system of differential equations with matrix coefficient A istransformed by a 2n× 2n crisp linear system of differential equations with matrix coefficient S.We have illustrated the proposed technique by an example.
