Yager’s ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator has been widely used in soft decision making to aggregate experts’ individual opinions or preferences for achieving an overall decision. The traditional Yager’s OWA operator focuses exclusively on the aggregation of crisp numbers. However, human experts usually tend to express their opinions or preferences in a very natural way via linguistic te...

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems with fuzzy linguistic information. Motivated by the ideal of generalized Bonferroni mean, we develop the generalized fuzzy linguistic Bonferroni Mean (GFLBM) operator for aggregating the fuzzy linguistic information. For the situations where the input arguments have different importance, we then define the gene...

This paper presents quality Clay-Brick selection process based on intuitionistic fuzzy multi criteria group decision making through grey relational analysis. Brick plays an important role in construction field. Intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging operator is used to aggregate individual opinions of decision makers into a group opinion. Six criteria are considered for selection process and t...

Failure mode effects and criticality analysis (FMECA) is a commonly adopted approach to defining, assessing, reducing possible failures in designs, systems, processes, products, services. Traditional FMECA ranks the failure modes of products based on risk priority number (RPN), which obtained by multiplying elements. Conventional has shortcomings badly handling unknown information unreasonably ...

Information retrieval is an activity that implies to achieve documents that better fulfil the user information needs. For achieving this activity an Information Retrieval System uses matching functions which specify the degree of relevance of a document with respect to a user query. Assuming linguistic weighted queries we present a new linguistic matching function for a threshold weighting sema...

The single valued triangular neutrosophic number (SVTrN-number) is simply an ordinary number whose precise value is somewhat uncertain from a philosophical point of view, which is a generalization of triangular fuzzy numbers and triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. Also, SVTrN-number may express more abundant and flexible information as compared with the triangular fuzzy numbers and triangu...

In this paper, we study modal operator F α,β in intuitionistic fuzzy subgroup of a group and derive some results. 1. Introduction The idea of intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) was given by [1, 2] to generalize the notion of fuzzy sets (FSs). Intuitionistic fuzzy modal operator was defined by Atanassov in [3]. The modal operators have been known to be important tools for IFSs where the operators ...

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems for for evaluating the computer network security with interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy information. To determine the attribute weights, a model based on the information entropy, by which the attribute weights can be determined, is established. We utilize the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy weighted ave...

To solve multiple attribute decision making problems with intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy information, two optimization models based on the maximizing deviation method, by which the attribute weights can be determined, is established. We utilize the intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy weighted geometric mean (ITFWGM) operator to aggregate the intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy information correspon...

With respect to multiple attribute decision making problems with intuitionistic fuzzy information, some operational laws of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, score function and accuracy function of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are introduced. An optimization model based on the maximizing deviation method, by which the attribute weights can be determined, is established. For the special situations w...
