Type-2 fuzzy sets are growing in popularity as, for certain applications they model uncertainty and imprecision better than type1 fuzzy sets. However, type-2 fuzzy sets can be difficult to understand and explain. Recent work has introduced embedded type-2 fuzzy sets and the Representation Theorem which enable us to discuss type-2 fuzzy sets in a different way. In particular they allow for alter...

The notion of intuitionistic fuzzy sets was introduced by Atanassov as a generalization of the notion of fuzzy sets. Y.B. Jun and S.Z. Song introduced the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy points. In this paper we find some relations between the intuitionistic fuzzy ideals of a semigroup S and the set of all intuitionistic fuzzy points of S. Keywords—Semigroup, Regular(intra-regular) semigroup, In...

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...

This paper presents a fuzzy optimization method based on the inclusion degrees of intuitionistic fuzzy sets to solve multi-criteria decision making problems under fuzzy environments. First, the inclusion degree of intuitionistic fuzzy sets is defined and a series of specific formulas of inclusion degree are presented by means of the normal implication operators. Some formulas of inclusion degre...

In 1965, in his pioneer paper L.A. Zadeh [9] introduced the concept of fuzzy set to handle the uncertainties in our daily life. After that many generalizations of fuzzy sets are presented, for example, interval valued fuzzy sets [10] and intuitionistic fuzzy sets [1]. Fuzzy sets are extremely useful to solve many problems in applied mathematics, information sciences and theory of automata [2]. ...

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 ...

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...

A flood warning system is a non-structural measure for flood mitigation. Several parameters are responsible for flood related disasters. This work  illustrates an ordered intuitionistic fuzzy analysis that has the capability to simulate the unknown relations between a set of meteorological and hydrological parameters. In this paper, we first define ordered intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets and est...
