Abstract

In this paper, a novel operator method is proposed for solving fuzzy linear differential equations under the assumption of strongly generalized differentiability. To this end, the equivalent integral form of the original problem is obtained then by using its lower and upper functions the solutions in the parametric forms are determined. The proposed method is illustrated with numerical examples.
