This proposal is a linear transformation of the fuzzy space into a probability space. In this paper, a finite-state Fuzzy Markov Chain is transformed into a crisp Markov chain by a linear operator. It is a projection of the fuzzy space into a probability space which allows to compare them one another. %I International Conference on Intelligent Computing %K Markov Chain %K Stationary Distribution %K Fuzzy Relation %K Stationary Transition Matrix Fuzzy Random Variable %T Scalarization of Type-1 Fuzzy Markov Chains %R 10.1007/978-3-642-14922-1_15 %~ Intellectum
