Oneofthemajorapplications of fuzzy number arithmetic is treating fuzzy linear sys-

In this paper, we give a new method for solving a n × n fuzzy matrix equation system
whosecoefficientsmatrixiscrisp,andtheright-handsidematrixisanarbitraryfuzzynumber
matrix by using the embedding method given in Cong-Xin and Min 26 and replace the
original n × n fuzzy linear system by two n × n crisp linear systems. It is clear that, in large
systems, solving n × n linear system is better than solving 2n × 2n linear system. Since per-
turbation analysis is very important in numerical methods. Recently, Ezzati 27 presented
the perturbation analysis for n × n fuzzy linear systems. Now, according to the presented
method in this paper, we can investigate perturbation analysis in two crisp matrix equation
systems instead of 2n×2n linear system as the authors of Ezzati 27 and Wang et al. 28.

Parametricformofanarbitraryfuzzynumberisgivenin29asfollows.Afuzzynumberuin
parametric form is a pair u
requirements: , u of functions ur ,ur , 0 ≤ r ≤ 1, which satisfy the following
1 u
r is a bounded left continuous nondecreasing function over 0,1,
2 ur is a bounded left continuous nonincreasing function over 0,1,and
3 ur ≤ ur , 0 ≤ r ≤ 1.
The set of all these fuzzy numbers is denoted by E which is a complete metric space
withHausdorffdistance.Acrispnumberαissimplyrepresentedbyur ur α, 0 ≤ r ≤
