Fuzzy relations are able to model vagueness, in the sense that they provide the degree to which two objects are related to each other. However, they cannot model uncertainty: there is no means to attribute reliability information to the membership degrees. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets, as de1ned by Atanassov (Instuitionistic Fuzzy Sets, Physica-Verlag, Heidelberg, New York, 1999), give us a way to...

New properties of intuitionistic fuzzy modal logic operators are discussed and these operators are interpreted as modifications of triangular norms and conorms, and as particular kinds of aggregation operations.

decision making about outsourcing or insourcing of manufacturing activities is a type of multiple criteria decision making (mcdm) problem, which requires considering quantitative and qualitative factors as evaluation criteria simultaneously. therefore, a suitable mcdm method can be useful in this area as it can consider the interactions among quantitative and qualitative criteria. the analytic ...

This paper deals with interval-valued fuzzy sets and I-fuzzy sets, Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy sets. They are treated in a systematic way as two, formally equivalent, natural extensions of methods of representing incomplete knowledge about sets. We define and investigate triangular norm-based areas of uncertainty of interval-valued fuzzy sets and I-fuzzy sets, and study some properties of ...

in some multi-attribute decision making (madm) problems, various relationships among the decision attributes should be considered. this paper investigates the prioritization relationship of attributes in madm with trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (trifns). trifns are a special intuitionistic fuzzy set on a real number set and have the better capability to model ill-known quantities. fir...

Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs), a generalization of fuzzy sets, is characterized by an interval-valued membership function, an interval-valued non-membership function.The objective of this paper is to deal with criteria aggregation problems using IVIFSs where there exists a prioritization relationship over the criteria.Based on the ${L}$ukasiewicz triangular norm, we first p...

In this paper, we use the Choquet integrals to define some induced fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy aggregating operators, including induced fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy correlated averaging(I-FIFCA) operator, induced fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy correlated geometric(I-FIFCG) operator. We also establish various properties of these operators, such as commutativity, idempotency and mon...

With respect to multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems in which both the attribute weights and the expert weights take the form of real numbers, attribute values take the form of fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, a new group decision making analysis method is developed. Firstly, some operational laws of fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, score function and ac...

The purpose of this paper is to develop a methodology for solving a new type of matrix games in which payoffs are expressed with triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TIFNs). In this methodology, the concept of solutions for matrix games with payoffs of TIFNs is introduced. A pair of auxiliary intuitionistic fuzzy programming models for players are established to determine optimal strategies...
