Abstract: This paper provides some existence results about first-order fuzzy differential equations with two-point boundary value conditions. We firstly study a class of linear fuzzy differential equation, the results are applied to discuss some nonlinear fuzzy boundary value problems. By using contraction mapping principle in complete metric space, we obtain some existence results about first-order nonlinear fuzzy differential equation with boundary value condition x (0) = αx (T), where α ∈ R.

Keywords: Nonlinear fuzzy differential equations, two-point boundary value problem, contracting mapping principle
