Introduction
Many dynamical real life problems may be formulated as a
mathematical model. Many of them can be formulated either as a
system of ordinary or partial diferential equations. Fuzzy diferential
equations (FDEs) are a useful tool to model a dynamical system
when information about its behavior is inadequate. FDE appears
when the modeling of these problems was imperfect and its nature is
under uncertainty. FDEs are suitable mathematical models to model
dynamical systems in which there exist uncertainties or vagueness.
hese models are used in various applications including, population
models [1-3], mathematical physics [4], and medicine [5,6]. In recent
year’s semi -analytical methods such as the Adomian Decomposition
Method (ADM), Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM), Variational
Iteration Method (VIM), Optimal Homotopy asymptotic method
(OHAM) and Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) have been used to
solve fuzzy irst and n
th
order ordinary diferential equations. For n
th
order fuzzy initial value problems, he ADM was employed in [7] to
solve second order linear fuzzy initial value problems. Abbasbandy et
al. [8] used the VIM to solve linear system of irst order fuzzy initial
value problems. Moreover, some of these methods have been also used
to obtain a semi-analytical solution of TPFBVP. VIM has been used
in [9] to solve linear TPFBVP. Other method like undetermined fuzzy
coeicients method has been introduced in [10] in order to obtain an
approximate solution of second order linear TPFBVP.
he ADM have been introduced in [11,12] and has been applied to
a wide class of deterministic and stochastic problems of mathematical
and physical sciences [13-15]. his method provides the solution
as a rapidly convergent series with components that are elegantly
computed. his method can be used to solve all types of linear and
nonlinear equations such as diferential and integral equations, so it
is known as a powerful method. Another important advantage of this
method is that it can reduce the size of computations, while increases
the accuracy of the approximate solutions so it is known as a powerful
method
In this paper, our aim is to formulate ADM from crisp into fuzzy
case in order to solve nonlinear n
th
order TPFBVP directly. To the
best of our knowledge, this is the irst attempt at solving the n
th
order
TPFBVP using the ADM. he structure of this paper is as follows: In
section 2, some basic deinitions and notations are given about fuzzy
numbers that will be used in other sections we discussed. In section 3,
the structure of ADM is formulated for solving high order TPFBVP. In
section 4, we present a numerical example and inally, in section 5, we
give the conclusion of this study Figure 1.
Fuzzy Numbers
Fuzzy numbers are a subset of the real numbers set, and represent
uncertain values. Fuzzy numbers are linked to degrees of membership
which state how true it is to say if something belongs or not to a
determined set Figure 2. A fuzzy number [16] µ is called a triangular
fuzzy number if deined by three numbers α<β<γ where the graph
of (x) µ is a triangle with the base on the interval [α,β] and vertex at
x , =β

Abstract
In this paper the Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) is employed to solve n
th
order (n>2) non linear two point
fuzzy boundary value problems (TPFBVP). The Adomian decomposition method can be used for solving nth order
fuzzy differential equations directly without reduction to irst order system. We illustrate the method in numerical
experiment including fourth order nonlinear TPFBVP to show the capabilities of ADM.
