%0 Journal Article %T Solution of the first order linear fuzzy differential equations by some reliable methods %A Mojtaba Ghanbari %J Journal of Fuzzy Set Valued Analysis %D 2012 %I International scientific publication and consulting services (ISPACS) %R 10.5899/2012/jfsva-00126 %X Fuzzy differential equations are used in modeling problems in science and engineering. For instance, it is known that the knowledge of dynamical systems modeled by ordinary differential equations is often incomplete or vague. While, fuzzy differential equations represent a proper way to model dynamical systems under uncertainty and vagueness. In this paper, two methods for solving first order linear fuzzy differential equations under generalized differentiability are proposed and compared. These methods are variational iteration method (VIM) and Adomian decomposition method (ADM). The comparison of the exact solutions with solutions obtained by VIM and ADM are in details. The comparison shows that solutions are excellent agreement. %K Fuzzy numbers %K Fuzzy differential equations %K Generalized differentiability %K Variational iteration method %K Adomian decomposition method %U http://www.ispacs.com/journals/jfsva/2012/jfsva-00126/article.pdf
