A novel parametric ranking method for intuitionistic fuzzy numbers

author

Abstract:

Since the inception of intuitionistic fuzzy sets in 1986, many authors have proposed different methods for ranking intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFNs). How ever, due to the complexity of the problem, a method which gives a satisfactory result to all situations is a challenging task. Most of them contained some shortcomings, such as requirement of complicated calculations, inconsistency with human intuition and indiscrimination and some produce different rankings for the same situation and some methods cannot rank crisp numbers. For overcoming the above problems, in this paper, a new parametric ranking method for IFNs is proposed. It is developed based on the concept α-cuts and β-cuts and area on left side of IFNs. The proposed ranking method is applied to solve partner selection problem in which the rating of partner on attributes are expressed by using triangular IFNs. The proposed method is much simpler and more efficient than other methods in the literature. Some comparative examples are also given to illustrate the advantages of the proposed method.

Ranking method of trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers

In this paper, considers the usage of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers in decision making. The values and ambiguities of the membership degree and the non-membership degree for trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy number are defined as well as the value-index and ambiguity-index. The proposed ranking method is easily implemented and has a natural interpretation. 2010 AMS Classification: 47S20, 03E72

A New Method for Ranking Intuitionistic Fuzzy Numbers

In this paper the ranking method for intuitionistic fuzzy numbers is studied. The authors first define a possibility degree formula to compare two intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. In comparison with Chen and Tan’s score function, the possibility degree formula provides additional information for the comparison of two intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. Based on the possibility degree formula, the author...

A New Ranking Method for Intuitionistic Fuzzy Numbers

In this paper I will introduce the trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IF numbers) and will prove some operations for them. Also I am going to propose a new ordering method for IF numbers in which I will consider two characteristic values of membership and non-membership functions for an IF number. These values are defined by the integral of the inverse fuzzy membership and non-membership...

Application of parametric form for ranking of fuzzy numbers

In this paper, we propose a new approach for ranking all fuzzynumbers based on revising the ranking method proposed by Ezzati et al. cite{Ezzati}.To this end, we present and investigate some properties of the proposed approach indetails. Finally, to illustrate the advantage of the proposed method, it is applied to several groups of fuzzy numbers and the results are compared with other related a...

A Compromise Ratio Ranking Method of Triangular Intuitionistic Fuzzy Numbers\ and Its Application to MADM Problems

Triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TIFNs) is a special case of intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) set and the ranking of TIFNs is an important problem. The aim of this paper is to develop a new methodology for ranking TIFNs by using multiattribute decision making methods (MADM). In this methodology, the value and ambiguity indices of TIFNs may be considered as the attributes and the TIFNs in compa...
