We generalize the power averaging operators to interval-valued Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy environments, and develop a series of generalized interval-valued Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy power aggregation operators. The main advantages of these operators are that they not only accommodate situations in which the input arguments are interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IVIFNs), ...

We investigate multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems with arguments taking the form of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. In order to relieve influence of unfair arguments, a Gaussian distribution-based argument-dependent weighting method and a hybrid support-function-based argument-dependent weighting method are devised by, respectively, measuring support degrees...

This paper presents two new types of fuzzy shortest-path network problems. We consider the edge weight of the network as uncertain, which means that it is either imprecise or unknown. Thus, the first type of fuzzy shortest-path problem uses triangular fuzzy numbers for the imprecise problem. The second type uses level (1 − β, 1 − α) interval-valued fuzzy numbers, which are based on past statist...

Two induced aggregation operators with novelly designed TOPSIS order-inducing variables are proposed: Induced Interval-valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Hybrid Averaging I-IIFHA operator and Induced Interval-valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Hybrid Geometric I-IIFHG operator. The merit of two aggregation operators is that they can consider additional preference information of decision maker’s attitudinal c...

d Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Swat, Swat, Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa, Pakistan ABSTRACT The concept of interval-valued fuzzy set is one of the most important and useful generalisation of Zadeh's fuzzy sets which is successfully applied by engineers and scientists in the field of Robotics, Control Theory and Computer Engineering. In this paper, we introduce new and useful ge...

The aim of this paper is to introduce the notions of interval valued (∈,∈ ∨q)-fuzzy Boolean (implicative, positive implicative and fantastic) filters in BL-algebras and to investigate some related properties. Some characterizations of these generalized fuzzy filters are derived. Finally, the relations among these generalized fuzzy filters are discussed. It is proved that an interval valued (∈,∈...

The concept of quasi-coincidence of an interval-valued fuzzy set is considered. By using this new idea, the notion of interval-valued (α, β)−fuzzy k−ideals of semirings is introduced, which is a generalization of a fuzzy k−ideal. Also some related properties are studied and in particular, the interval-valued (∈,∈ ∨q)−fuzzy k−ideals in a semiring will be investigated. Finally, the concept of imp...

In this paper, we examine the reliability of a parallel system. We use the level (λ, ρ) interval-valued fuzzy numbers to find the fuzzy reliability of parallel systems and obtain the estimated reliability of the systems in the fuzzy sense by employing the signed distance method.

—Experts are often not 100% con dent in their statements. In traditional fuzzy logic, the expert's degree of con dence in each of his or her statements is described by a number from the interval [0, 1]. However, due to similar uncertainty, an expert often cannot describe his or her degree by a single number. It is therefore reasonable to describe this degree by, e.g., a set of numbers. In this ...

This paper first improves Chen and Hsieh’s definition of generalized fuzzy numbers, which makes it the generalization of definition of fuzzy numbers. Secondly, in terms of the generalized fuzzy numbers set, we introduce two different kinds of orders and arithmetic operations and metrics based on the λ-cutting sets or generalized λ-cutting sets, so that the generalized fuzzy numbers are integrat...
