In this paper, a more general definition of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number (TIFN) is proposed by removing the `normality' in the definition of intuitionistic fuzzy number. The basic arithmetic operations of generalized triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (GTIFNs) and the notion of -cut sets are defined. Also a nearest interval approximation method is described to approximate a GTIFN...

For multiple attribute group decision-making problems, in which the attribute values are triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and the attribute weight information is the linguistic evaluation, a multiple attribute group decision-making method is proposed. In the method, first, to transform the 2-tuple linguistic attribute weights to the real numbers. Then, to aggregate the experts’ preferenc...

Since the inception of intuitionistic fuzzy sets in 1986, many authors have proposed different methods for ranking intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFNs). How ever, due to the complexity of the problem, a method which gives a satisfactory result to all situations is a challenging task. Most of them contained some shortcomings, such as requirement of complicated calculations, inconsistency with hum...

in this paper, a novel method for ranking of fuzzy numbers are proposed. in this method, decision maker is defined based on the center of mass at some cuts of a pair of fuzzy numbers in discreet version and center of mass on all of cuts of a pair of fuzzy numbers in continuous version. our method can rank more than two fuzzy numbers simultaneously. also, some properties of methods are described...

To the best of our knowledge very few methods have been proposed in previous studies for comparing intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) numbers. In this paper, the limitations and the shortcomings of all these existing methods are pointed out. In order to overcome these limitations and shortcomings a new ranking approach—by modifying an existing ranking approach—is proposed for comparing IF numbers. Thus,...

in this paper, by using a new approach on distance between two fuzzy numbers, we construct a new ranking system for fuzzy number which is very realistic and also matching our intuition as the crisp ranking system on r.

ranking fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in decision making and some other fuzzy application systems. many different methods have been proposed to deal with ranking fuzzy numbers. constructing ranking indexes based on the centroid of fuzzy numbers is an important case. but some weaknesses are found in these indexes. the purpose of this paper is to give a new ranking index to rank vario...

The critical path problem is a classical and important network optimization problem appearing in many applications, especially in planning and controlling the complex projects. However the result of classical critical path method computation cannot properly match the real-world problem. This gives rise to fuzzy environment and hence we have fuzzy critical path method. In this paper, two differe...

ranking fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in linguistic decision making and other fuzzy application systems. in spite of many ranking methods, no one can rank fuzzy numbers with human intuition consistently in all cases. shortcoming are found in some of the convenient methods for ranking triangular fuzzy numbers such as the coefficient of variation (cv index), distance between fuzzy set...
