In this paper first we review two ranking methods for intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IF numbers), then we proposed a new ordering method for IF numbers in which we consider two characteristic values of membership and non-membership for an IF number. Key-Words: Intuitionistic Fuzzy Number, Ranking Function Methods, Characteristic Value

The order relation of fuzzy number is important in decision making and optimization modeling, and ranking fuzzy numbers is difficult in nature. Ranking trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TrIFNs) is more difficult due to the fact that the TrIFNs are a generalization of the fuzzy numbers. The aim of this paper is to develop a new methodology for ranking TrIFNs. We define the value-index an...

In this paper attention has been paid to the study of a new ranking procedure for trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy number (TRIFN). There are numerous methods for ranking of simple fuzzy numbers but, we lack of effective methods for ranking of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFN). To serve the purpose, the value and ambiguity index of TRIFNs have been defined. In order to rank TRIFNs, we have defi...

triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (tifns) is a special case of intuitionistic fuzzy (if) set and the ranking of tifns is an important problem. the aim of this paper is to develop a new methodology for ranking tifns by using multiattribute decision making methods (madm). in this methodology, the value and ambiguity indices of tifns may be considered as the attributes and the tifns in compa...

The intuitionistic fuzzy set has been applied to game theory very rarely since it was introduced by Atanassov in 1983. The aim of this paper is to develop an effective methodology for solving matrix games with payoffs of Atanassov’s triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TIFNs). In this methodology, the concepts and ranking order relations of Atanassov’s TIFNs are defined. A pair of bi-object...

Constrained shortest path problem (CSPP) is an NPComplete problem where the goal is to determine the cheapest path bounded by a given delay constraint. This problem finds application in several fields like television and transportation networks, ATM circuit routing, multimedia applications etc. In these kinds of applications it is important to provide quality of service (QoS). Therefore, it is ...

in some multi-attribute decision making (madm) problems, various relationships among the decision attributes should be considered. this paper investigates the prioritization relationship of attributes in madm with trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (trifns). trifns are a special intuitionistic fuzzy set on a real number set and have the better capability to model ill-known quantities. fir...

The Multiple Attribute Group Decision Making (MAGDM) problems are investigated in which all the information provided by the decision-makers is presented as interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy decision matrices, and the information about attribute weights is partially known. Three different models are utilized for calculating the completely unknown attribute weights which are then used for aggr...

Triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TIFNs) is a special case of intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) set and the ranking of TIFNs is an important problem. The aim of this paper is to develop a new methodology for ranking TIFNs by using multiattribute decision making methods (MADM). In this methodology, the value and ambiguity indices of TIFNs may be considered as the attributes and the TIFNs in compa...
