In this paper, we research the relationship between entropy and similarity of interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets in detail and prove eight theorems that entropy and similarity of interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets can be transformed to each other based on their axiomatic definitions. Finally, we propose some formulaes to calculate entropy and similarity of interval valued intuitio...

The notion of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets was first introduced by Atanassov and Gargov in 1989 as a generalization of both interval-valued fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy sets. In this paper we first apply the concept of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets to K-algebras. Then we introduce the notion of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy ideals (IIFIs, in short) of K-al...

In this paper, we investigate an assignment problem in which cost coefficients are triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. In conventional assignment problem, cost is always certain. This paper develops an approach to solve an intuitionistic fuzzy assignment problem where cost is not deterministic numbers but imprecise ones. Here, the elements of the costs (profits) matrix of the assignment pr...

The purpose of the present work is to establish a one-to-one correspondence between the family of interval type-2 fuzzy reflexive/tolerance approximation spaces and the family of interval type-2 fuzzy closure spaces.

In the present paper, we analyze the vague reliability of k-out-of-n : G system (particularly, series and parallel system) with independent and non-identically distributed components, where the reliability of the components are unknown. The reliability of each component has been estimated using statistical confidence interval approach. Then we converted these statistical confidence interval int...

DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) is a technique for evaluating the relative effectiveness of decision-making units (DMU) with multiple inputs and outputs data based on non-parametric modeling using mathematical programming (including linear programming, multi-parameter programming, stochastic programming, etc.). The classical DEA methods are developed to handle the information in the form of cri...

In this paper, the notion of the interval valued neutrosophic soft sets (ivn−soft sets) is defined which is a combination of an interval valued neutrosophic sets [36] and a soft sets [30]. Our ivn−soft sets generalizes the concept of the soft set, fuzzy soft set, interval valued fuzzy soft set, intuitionistic fuzzy soft set, interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy soft set and neutrosophic soft se...

In this paper, the notions of $(T,S)$-composition matrix and$(T,S)$-interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy equivalence matrix areintroduced where $(T,S)$ is a dual pair of triangular module. Theyare the generalization of composition matrix and interval-valuedintuitionistic fuzzy equivalence matrix. Furthermore, theirproperties and characterizations are presented. Then a new methodbased on $tilde{...

The definition of hesitant interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (HIVIFSs) is developed based on interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) and hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs). Then, some operations on HIVIFSs are introduced in detail, and their properties are further discussed. In addition, some hesitant interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy number aggregation operators based on t-conorm...
