this paper proposes improvements and revisions to a recent approach in a voting system, and provides an effective approach with a stronger discriminate power. for this purpose, the advantage of a linear transformation is utilized to redene a previously used concept of virtual worst candidate, by incorporating the existing weight restrictions. then, the best score of this virtual candidate is u...

The aim of this paper is investigate the notion of a generalized interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy number (GIVIFN), which extends the interval valuedintuitionistic fuzzy number. Firstly, the concept of GIVIFNBs is introduced.Arithmetic operations and cut sets over GIVIFNBBs are investigated. Then the values and ambiguities of the membership degree and the non-membership degree and the value ...

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...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is one of the scientific method that computes the efficiency by using a powerful mathematics basic. data envelopment analysis is a non-parametric technique to evaluate the efficiency of a set of decision making units (dmu) with multi inputs and outputs . since dea’s models classifies decision making units into two categories of efficient and inefficient, so most ...

Ranking decision for interval data is a very important issue in decision making analysis. In recent years, several ranking approaches based on dominance relations have been developed. In these approaches, a dominance degree and an entire dominance degree are employed. However, one cannot obtain the complete rank of objects. To address this problem, this work will propose a two-grade approach to...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a technique for measuring the efficiency of decision making units. In all models of the DEA, for each unit under assessment, the numerical efficiency is obtained which may be less than or equal to one. Given the possible large number of functional units, we use various ranking methods for evaluating units. One of the rating methods is Balance index and Topsis....

This paper proposes a method for ranking decision making units (DMUs) using some of the multiple criteria decision making / multiple attribute decision making          (MCDM /MADM) techniques, namely, interval analytic hierarchy process (IAHP)          and the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS).          Since the efficiency score of unity is assigned to ...
