We establish relationships between the set of trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and the set of interval-valued trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and, on the other hand, between the set of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and the set of triangular fuzzy numbers. Based on these main results of the paper, the methods or procedures elaborated for interval-valued trapezoidal or triangular fuzz...

Methods for aggregating intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy information are investigated. Some operational laws of intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are introduced. Based on these operational laws, some aggregation operators, including intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (ITFOWA) operator and intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy hybrid aggregation (ITFHA) operator, are p...

Multivariate continuous time models are now widely used in economics and finance. Empirical applications typically rely on some process of discretization so that the system may be estimated with discrete data. This paper introduces a framework for discretizing linear multivariate continuous time systems that includes the commonly used Euler and trapezoidal approximations as special cases and le...

Class Sm variable transformations with integer m, for numerical computation of finite-range integrals, were introduced and studied by the author in the paper [A. Sidi, A new variable transformation for numerical integration, Numerical Integration IV, 1993 (H. Brass and G. Hämmerlin, eds.), pp. 359–373.] A representative of this class is the sinm-transformation that has been used with lattice ru...

We have presented trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy number. Arithmetic operations of trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy number is presented based on (α, β)-cuts. We have presented intuitionistic fuzzy fault tree analysis using trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy number. In application of intuitionistic fuzzy fault tree analysis, we have computed failure of fire protection system taking failure of eac...

As an extension of the intuitionistic fuzzy set, intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy set is an invaluable mathematical theory to express uncertain phenomenon in our real word. In this article, the aggregation methods of the intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy information are chief researched. Firstly, the generalized aggregation operator is introduced for aggregating intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy ...

The main aim of this paper is to characterize the set of real parameters associated to a fuzzy number, represented in a general form which include the most important characteristics, with the following property: for any given fuzzy number there exists at least a trapezoidal fuzzy number which preserves a fixed parameter. The uniqueness of the nearest trapezoidal fuzzy number with this property ...

The concept of trapezoidal valued hesitant fuzzy set is introduced. Notion for distance between any two trapezoidal valued hesitant fuzzy elements is given. Using this proposed distance measure, we extend the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution for trapezoidal valued hesitant fuzzy sets. An example is constructed to show usefulness of this extension for multicriteria ...

Trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TrIFNs) express abundant and flexible information in a suitable manner and  are very useful to depict the decision information in the procedure of decision making. In this paper, some new aggregation operators, such as, trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy weighted power harmonic mean (TrIFWPHM) operator, trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted po...

Trapezoidal words are words having at most n+1 distinct factors of length n for every n ≥ 0. They therefore encompass finite Sturmian words. We give combinatorial characterizations of trapezoidal words and exhibit a formula for their enumeration. We then separate trapezoidal words into two disjoint classes: open and closed. A trapezoidal word is closed if it has a factor that occurs only as a p...
