In this study the intuitionistic fuzzy version of critical path method has been proposed to solve networking problems with uncertain activity durations. Intuitionistic set [1] is an extension theory [2] unlike set, it focuses on degree belonging, nonbelonging or non-membership function and hesitancy which helps decision maker adopt best among worst cases. Trapezoidal triangular numbers are util...

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...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a linear programming based methodology to determine the relative performance efficiencies of homogeneous decision making units (DMUs). In real world applications, some input and output datas do not possess crisp/fuzzy essence but they possess intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) essence. So, in this study, we develop an IF BCC (IFBCC) and an IF super efficiency BCC (IFSE...

In this paper, Symmetric Trapezoidal Intuitionistic Fuzzy Numbers (STIFNs) have been introduced and their desirable properties are also studied. A new type of intuitionistic fuzzy arithmetic operations for STIFN have been proposed based on ( , )   -cuts. A numerical example is considered to elaborate the proposed arithmetic operations. These operations find applications in solving linear prog...

This paper suggests  a novel approach for ranking the most applicable fuzzy numbers, i.e.  $LR$-fuzzy numbers. Applying the  $alpha$-optimistic values of a fuzzy number, a preference criterion is proposed for ranking fuzzy numbers using the Credibility index. The main properties of the proposed  preference criterion  are also studied.  Moreover, the proposed method is   applied for ranking fuzz...

Intuitionistic fuzzy probabilities are an extension of the concept of probabilities with application in several practical problem solving tasks. The former are probabilities represented through intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, to indicate the uncertainty of the membership and nonmembership degrees in the value assigned to probabilities. Moreover, a dual hesitant fuzzy set (DHFS) is an extension of...

Intuitionistic fuzzy sets theory which is the generalisation of fuzzy sets theory is more suitable tool for dealing with imprecise information. The information provided by the decision maker is imprecise in many situations. So, intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation is a suitable tool for such cases. The estimation of the priority vector of the intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation is an i...

Since Atanassov introduced the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) in 1986, much work has been done to develop decision making models with it as the information representation format. A problem that needs to be addressed in this type of decision making environment is the ranking of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFNs). However, it is well known that there is no unique best approach to achi...

fuzzy measures are suitable in analyzing human subjective evaluation processes. several different strategies have been proposed for distance of fuzzy numbers. the distances introduced for fuzzy numbers can be categorized in two groups:1. the crisp distances which explain crisp values for the distance between two fuzzy numbers.2. the fuzzy distance which introduce a fuzzy distance for normal fuz...
