Abstract

In this paper, approximate solutions of second-order linear differential equations with fuzzy boundary conditions, in which coefficient functions maintain the sign, are investigated. The fuzzy linear boundary value problem is converted to a crisp function system of linear equations by the undetermined fuzzy coefficients method. The fuzzy approximate solution of the fuzzy linear differential equation is obtained by solving the crisp linear equations. Some numerical examples are given to illustrate the proposed method.
