In this paper, we study in-depth certain properties of interval-valued fuzzy sets and Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets (A-IFSs). In particular, we study the manner in which to construct different interval-valued fuzzy connectives (or Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy connectives) starting from an operator. We further study the law of contradiction and the law of excluded middle for these se...

In this paper, the notion of an interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy subsemiring (ideal) of a semiring with respect to t−norm T and s−norm S is given and the characteristic properties are described. The homomorphic image and inverse image are investigated. In particular, by the help of the congruence relations on semirings, new interval valued intuitionistic (S, T )−fuzzy subsemirings (ideals) ...

The entropy of intuitionistic fuzzy sets is used to indicate the degree of fuzziness of an interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set(IvIFS). In this paper, we deal with the entropies of IvIFSs. Firstly, we propose a set of entropies on IvIFSs with a parameter λ ∈ [0,+∞), which generalizes the entropy measure defined by Gao, for IvIFSs, and then we prove that the new entropy is an increasing func...

In recent decades, several types of sets, such as fuzzy sets, interval-valued fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets, type 2 fuzzy sets, type n fuzzy sets, and hesitant fuzzy sets, have been introduced and investigated widely. In this paper, we propose dual hesitant fuzzy sets DHFSs , which encompass fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, hesitant fuzzy...

Mathematical morphology (MM) offers a wide range of tools for image processing and computer vision. MM was originally conceived for the processing of binary images and later extended to gray-scale morphology. Extensions of classical binary morphology to gray-scale morphology include approaches based on fuzzy set theory that give rise to fuzzy mathematical morphology (FMM). From a mathematical p...

In this work, we present definition of intuitionistic fuzzy parameterized (ifp) intuitionistic fuzzy soft set and its operations. Then we define ifp-aggregation operator to form ifp-intuitionistic fuzzy soft decision making method which allows constructing more efficient decision processes. Keyword 0.1 Soft set, intuitionistic fuzzy set, intuitionistic fuzzy soft set, intuitionistic fuzzy param...

Based on the point of view of geometrical representation of an intuitionistic fuzzy set, we take into account all three parameters describing intuitionistic fuzzy set, propose a kind of new method to calculate correlation and correlation coefficient of intuitionistic fuzzy sets which is similar to the cosine of the intersectional angle in finite sets and probability space, respectively. Further...

This article investigates new score and accuracy functions for ranking interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IVIFNs). The novelty of these functions is that they allow the comparison of IVIFNs by taking into account of the decision makers’ attitudinal character. The new attitudinal expected score and accuracy functions extend Xu and Chen’s score and accuracy degree functions, and verify...

In this paper, we take a GL-quantale as the truth value table to study a new rough set model—L-valued fuzzy rough sets. The three key components of this model are: an L-fuzzy set A as the universal set, an L-valued relation of A and an L-fuzzy set of A (a fuzzy subset of fuzzy sets). Then L-valued fuzzy rough sets are completely characterized via both constructive and axiomatic approaches. 

This paper proposes an improved score function for the effective ranking order of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) and an interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS method based on the score function to solve multicriteria decision-making problems in which all the preference information provided by decision-makers is expressed as interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy decision ...
