We introduce the concept of generalised interval-valued fuzzy soft set and its operations and study some of their properties. We give applications of this theory in solving a decision making problem. We also introduce a similarity measure of two generalised interval-valued fuzzy soft sets and discuss its application in amedical diagnosis problem: fuzzy set; soft set; fuzzy soft set; generalised...

It is known that interval-valued fuzzy sets provide a more adequate description of expert uncertainty than the more traditional “type-1” (number-valued) fuzzy techniques. In the current approaches for using interval-valued fuzzy techniques, it is usually assumed that all fuzzy sets m(x) ∈ [m(x), m(x)] are possible. In this paper, we show that it is reasonable to restrict ourselves only to fuzzy...

Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) are widely used to handle uncertainty and imprecision in decision making. However, in more complicated environment, it is difficult to express the uncertain information by an IVIFS with considering the decision-making preference. Hence, this paper proposes a group generalized interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy soft set (G-GIVIFSS) which conta...

On the basis of the combination of single-valued neutrosophic sets and hesitant fuzzy sets, this article proposes a single-valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy set (SVNHFS) as a further generalization of the concepts of fuzzy set, intuitionistic fuzzy set, single-valued neutrosophic set, hesitant fuzzy set, and dual hesitant fuzzy set. Then, we introduce the basic operational relations and cosine...

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...

Effective project management requires reliable knowledge of cash required in different stages of project life cycle. Getting this knowledge is highly dependent on sophisticated consideration of project environment. Nature of projects and their environments are associated with uncertain conditions. In this paper, a new project cash flow assessment method based on project scheduling is proposed t...

The starting point of this paper is the introduction of a new measure of inclusion of fuzzy set A in fuzzy set B. Previously used inclusion measures take values in the interval [0,1]; the inclusion measure proposed here takes values in a Boolean lattice. In other words, inclusion is viewed as an Lfuzzy valued relation between fuzzy sets. This relation is reflexive, antisymmetric and transitive,...
