Abstract
This chapter presents an experimental study about the use of the \(M_n\) generalized mean for the computation of the steady state of a fuzzy Markov chain and its close relationship to the probabilistic sum–product relation. The obtained evidence shows that the \(M_n\) generalized mean leads to obtain a very similar results than its probabilistic counterpart i.e. to have aperiodic limiting distributions and convergence in finite–time unlike the fuzzy \(\max -\min \) relation which mostly leads to non–unique solutions i.e. periodic limiting distributions.
