In this paper, we propose a new method, based on a non conventional approach, to determine exactly all the widest solution sets of a fuzzy relational equation. Fuzzy relational equations have received much attention from many researchers until now, however the proposed methods rarely enable to calculate the widest solution sets only. Indeed, it is often the case that some of the calculated solution sets are included in wider ones and then have to be removed from the list of solution sets. In this paper, we propose a rule-based method whose main advantage is to provide with exactly all the widest solution sets.
