in this paper, we introduce a function in order to measure the distancebetween two order intervals of fuzzy numbers, and show that this function isa metric. we investigate some properties of this metric, and finally presentan application. we think that this study could provide a more generalframework for researchers studying on interval analysis, fuzzy analysis andfuzzy decision making.

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{...

Yager’s ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator has been widely used in soft decision making to aggregate experts’ individual opinions or preferences for achieving an overall decision. The traditional Yager’s OWA operator focuses exclusively on the aggregation of crisp numbers. However, human experts usually tend to express their opinions or preferences in a very natural way via linguistic te...
