We proposed the theory of multi-fuzzy sets [Sabu and Ramakrishnan (2010a), (2011a)] as an extension of theories of fuzzy sets, L-fuzzy sets [Goguen (1967)] and intuitionistic fuzzy sets [Atanassov (1986)]. Theory of multi-fuzzy sets deals with multi-level fuzziness and multi-dimensional fuzziness. Our previous papers discussed the basic notions of multi-fuzzy sets, multi-fuzzy topology, and mul...

In 1966, (Imai and Iseki, 1966) defined a class of algebras of type (2, 0) named BCK-algebras. At the same time, (Iseki, 1966) generalized another class of algebras of type (2, 0) called BCI-algebras. Hu and Li (1983) introduced the concept of BCH-algebras and gave examples of proper BCH-algebras (Hu and Li, 1985). Neggers and Kim (2001) introduced and investigated a class of algebras, viz., th...

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...

The current study set to extend a new VIKOR method as a compromise ranking approach to solve multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems through intuitionistic fuzzy analysis. Using compromise method in MCDM problems contributes to the selection of an alternative as close as possible to the positive ideal solution and far away from the negative ideal solution, concurrently. Using Atanasso...

An AG-groupoid is a non-associative algebraic structure mid way between a groupoid and a commutative semigroup. The left identity in an AGgroupoid if exists is unique [9]. An AG-groupoid is non-associative and non-commutative algebraic structure, nevertheless, it posses many interesting properties which we usually find in associative and commutative algebraic structures. An AG-groupoid with rig...

In 1965, Zadeh [30] introduced a concept of a fuzzy set as the generalization of a crisp set. Also, in 1971, he introduced a fuzzy relation naturally, as a generalization of a crisp relation in [31]. Nel [27] introduced the notion of a topological universe which implies concrete quasitopos [1]. Every topological universe satisfies all the properties of a topos except one condition on the subobj...

in this note we consider the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy (weak) dual hyper k-ideals and obtain related results. then we classify this notion according to level sets. after that we determine the relationships between intuitionistic fuzzy (weak) dual hyper k-ideals and intuitionistic fuzzy (weak) hyper k-ideals. finally, we define the notion of the product of two intuitionistic fuzzy (weak) du...

We first propose a series of similarity measures for intuitionistic fuzzy values (IFVs) based on the intuitionistic fuzzy operators (Atanassov 1995). The parameters in the proposed similarity measures can control the degree of membership and the degree of non-membership of an IFV, which can reflect the decision maker’s risk preference. Moreover, we can obtain some known similarity measures when...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce and study the concepts of fuzzy $e$-open set, fuzzy $e$-continuity and fuzzy $e$-compactness in intuitionistic fuzzy topological spaces. After giving the fundamental concepts of intuitionistic fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy topological spaces, we present intuitionistic fuzzy $e$-open sets and intuitionistic fuzzy $e$-continuity and other results re...
