The purpose of this paper is the study of the eigenvalues of the second order fuzzy boundary value problem (FBVP). By using the (alpha-beta)-level set of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and Zadeh's extension principle, the FBVP is solved with the proposed method. Furthermore, a numerical example is illustrated and the advantages of the proposed approach are compared with other well-known methods such as the solutions based on the generalized Hukuhara derivative.
