In 1965, Zadeh introduced the concept of fuzzy subsets. Latter many authors defined different directions of fuzzy subsets. Turksen (1986) generalized the concept of fuzzy set in terms of interval-valued fuzzy set (IVFS). Several researchers present a number of results using IVFSs. Using these concept of (IVFS) Pal and Shyamal (2006) introduced interval-valued fuzzy matrices and shown several pr...

The Heronian mean provides an aggregation operator that considers the inter-dependent phenomena among the aggregated arguments. Nevertheless, it seems that the existing literatures only consider the HM for aggregating crisp numbers rather than any other types of arguments. In this paper, the HM under interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environments is studied. First, a generalized interval-val...

A new accuracy function for the theory of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set, which overcomes some difficulties arising in the existing methods for determining rank of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, is proposed by taking into account the hesitancy degree of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets. By comparing it with several proposed accuracy functions, the necessity and...

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making(MADM) problems for evaluating the security of wireless sensor networks with interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy information. We utilize the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid geometric (IVIFHG) operator to aggregate the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers corresponding to each alternative and derive the over...

In this paper, we propose new methods to represent interdependence among alternative attributes and experts’ opinions by constructing Choquet integral using interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. In the sequel, we apply these methods to solve the multiple attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problems under interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environment. First, the concept of interva...

The relationship between the intuitionistic fuzzy sets and the algebraic hyperstructures is described in this paper. The concept of the quasi-coincidence of an intuitionistic fuzzy interval valued with an interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set is introduced and this is a natural generalization of the quasi-coincidence of an intuitionistic fuzzy point in intuitionistic fuzzy sets. By using thi...

In this paper, the problem of measuring the degree of inclusion and similarity measure for two   interval-valued intuitionistic  fuzzy sets is considered. We propose inclusion and similarity measure by using  order on interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets connected with lexicographical order. Moreover, some properties of inclusion and similarity measure and some correlation, between them an...

In this paper, we first use a fuzzy preference relation with a membership function representing preference degree forcomparing two interval-valued fuzzy numbers and then utilize a relative preference relation improved from the fuzzypreference relation to rank a set of interval-valued fuzzy numbers. Since the fuzzy preference relation is a total orderingrelation that satisfies reciprocal and tra...
