Abstract
In this paper first order homogeneous ordinary differential equation is described in intuitionistic fuzzy
environment. Here initial condition of the said differential equation is considered as triangular
intuitionistic fuzzy number. It is illustrated by numerical examples. Finally two elementary applications on
oil production and weight loss problems are described in intuitionistic fuzzy environment.

Keywords: Fuzzy set, Intuitionistic fuzzy number, Fuzzy differential equation. Triangular intuitionistic fuzzy
number.

1 Introduction
Zadeh [1] and Dubois and Parade [2] were the first who introduced the conception based on fuzzy
number and fuzzy arithmetic. Generalizations of fuzzy sets theory [1] is considered to be one of
Intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS). Out of several higher-order fuzzy sets, IFS was first introduced by Atanassov
[3] have been found to be suitable to deal with unexplored areas.The fuzzy set considers only the degree of
belongingness and non belongingness. Fuzzy set theory does not incorporate the degree of hesitation
(i.e.,degree of non-determinacy defined as, sum of membership function and non-membership
function.To handle such situations, Atanassov [4] explored the concept of fuzzy set theory by intuitionistic
fuzzy set (IFS) theory.The degree of acceptance in Fuzzy Sets is only considered, otherwise IFS is
characterized by a membership function and a non-membership function so that the sum of both values is
less than one [4].

Basic arithmetic operations of TIFNs is defined by Deng-Feng Li in [5] using membership and non
membership values. Basic arithmetic operations of TIFNs such as addition,subtraction and multiplication
are defined by Mahapatra and Roy in [6], by considering the six tuple number itself and division by
A.Nagoorgani & K.Ponnalagu [7].
Now-a-days, IFSs are being studied extensively and being used in different fields of Science and
Technology. Amongst the all research works mainly on IFS we can include Atanassov [4,8-11], Atanassov
and Gargov [12], Szmidt and Kacprzyk [13], Buhaescu [14], Ban [15], Deschrijver and Kerre [16],
Stoyanova [17], Cornelis et al. [18], Buhaesku [19], Gerstenkorn and Manko [20], Stoyanova and
Atanassov [21], Stoyanova [22], Mahapatra and Roy [23], Hajeeh [24], Persona et al. [25], Prabha et al.
[26], Nikolaidis and Mourelatos [27], Kumar et al.[28] and Wang [29], Shaw and Roy [30], Adak et
al.[31], A.Varghese and S.Kuriakose [32].
It is seen that in recent years the topic of Fuzzy Differential Equations (FDEs) has been rapidly grown. In
the year 1987, the term fuzzy differential equation was introduced by Kandel and Byatt [33]. To study
FDE there have been many conceptions for the definition of fuzzy derivative. Chang and Zadeh [34] was
someone who first introduced the concept of fuzzy derivative, later on it was followed up by Dobois and
Prade [35] who used the extension principle in their approach. Other methods have been discussed by Puri
and Ralescu [36], Goetschel and Voxman [37], Seikkala [38] and Friedman et al. [39,40], Y. Cano, H.
Flores [41], E. Hllermeier [42], H.Y. Lan, J.J. Nieto [43], J.J. Nieto, R. Lpez, D.N. Georgiou [44]. First
order linear fuzzy differential equations or systems are researched under various interpretations in several
papers (see [45,46,47,48,49]).There are only few papers such as [50,51,52,53] in which intuitionistic fuzzy
number are applied in differential equation.
Fuzzy differential equations play an important role in the field of biology, engineering, physics as well as
among other field of science. For example, in population models [54], civil engineering [55],
bioinformatics and computational biology [56], quantum optics and gravity [57], modeling hydraulic [58],
HIV model [59], decay model [60], predator-prey model [61], population dynamics model [62], Friction
model [63], Growth model [64], Bacteria culture model [65], bank account and drug concentration
problem [66], barometric pressure problem [67]. First order linear fuzzy differential equations are sort of
equations which have many applications among all the Fuzzy Differential Equation.

6 Conclusion
In this paper we have solved first order homogeneous ordinary differential equation in intuitionistic
fuzzy environment. Here we have discussed initial value as intuitionistic fuzzy number. The intutionistic
fuzzy number is taken as triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number. Oil Production and Weight Loss problems
are discussed in intuitionistic fuzzy environment. For further work the same process can be solved by
using generalised triangular intutionistic fuzzy number, generalized trapizoidal intuitionistic fuzzy number,
generalized L-R type intuitionistic fuzzy number. Also we can follow the same for first order non
homogeneous ordinary differential equation. This process can be followed for any economical, bio-
mathematical and engineering sciences problem in fuzzy environment.
