The mathematical technique of optimizing a sequence of interrelated decisions over a period of time is called Dynamic Programming. In many real life situations the decision making process consists of selecting a combination of plans from a large number of alternative combinations in fuzzy environments. In this paper, a new fuzzy approach is proposed to solve a fuzzy optimal subdivision problem where the positive quantity which is to be divided is taken as trapezoidal fuzzy number. The solution is obtained by the method of Mathematical Induction. The specific feature of this proposed approach is that the vagueness and imprecision in the optimal subdivision models is easily eliminated by fuzzy dynamic programming.
