In this paper, we show that bilattices are robust mathematical structures that provide a natural accommodation to, and bridge between, intuitionistic fuzzy sets and interval-valued fuzzy sets. In this way, we resolve the controversy surrounding the formal equivalence of these two models, and open up the path for a new tradition for representing positive and negative information in fuzzy set the...

Multiple attribute decision making problems with uncertain weights in intuitionistic fuzzy setting are investigated. Some concepts related to the theory of intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS), including intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging (IFWA) operator, score function, and accuracy function, are reviewed. Based on the technology for order preference by similarity to idea solution (TOPSIS) meth...

Due to the increasing competition of globalization, selection of the most appropriate supplier is one of the key factors for asupply chain management’s success. Due to conflicting evaluations and insufficient information about the criteria, Intuitionisticfuzzy sets (IFSs) considered as animpressive tool and utilized to specify the relative importance of the criteria. The aim of this paper is to...

Neutrosophic theory has many applications in graph theory, bipolar single valued neutrosophic graphs (BSVNGs) is the generalization of fuzzy graphs and intuitionistic fuzzy graphs, SVNGs. In this paper we introduce some types of BSVNGs, such as subdivision BSVNGs, middle BSVNGs, total BSVNGs and bipolar single valued neutrosophic line graphs (BSVNLGs), also investigate the isomorphism, co weak ...

The soft set theory is a newly mathematical tool to deal with uncertain problems. However, the classical soft sets are not appropriate to deal with imprecise and fuzzy parameters. In this paper, we introduce the average function and propose the interval-valued intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy soft sets (IVIHFSSs) which are a combination of the interval-valued intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy sets and...

In this paper one presents new similarity, cardinality and entropy measures for bipolar fuzzy set and for its particular forms like intuitionistic, paraconsistent and fuzzy set. All these are constructed in the framework of multi-valued representations and are based on a penta-valued logic that uses the following logical values: true, false, unknown, contradictory and ambiguous. Also a new dist...

The aim of this paper is to investigate an intuitionistic fuzzy sets based generalized multiple attributes group decision making (GMAGDM) adapting to the situation that the attribute sets considered by a group of experts are not the same and the decision information are provided with intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFNs). Firstly, we develop three general procedures to handle different intuitioni...

For many decision problems with uncertainty, triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number is a useful tool in expressing ill-known quantities. This paper develops a novel decision method based on zero-sum game for multiple attribute decision making problems where the attribute values take the form of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and the attribute weights are unknown. First, a new value ind...
