Abstract
Fuzzy numbers can be used to solve many real life problems like Travelling Salesman problems, Assignment Problems, Allocation problems etc. In this paper a new method is proposed for solving travelling salesman problems using transitive fuzzy numbers. The transitive trapezoidal fuzzy numbers is used to solve a general travelling salesman problem with an optimal solution. The efficiency of this method is proved by solving a numerical problem.
