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...

Abstract The well-known Karush-Kuhn-Tucker theorem can be used, as in the fuzzy case, to find the trapezoidal approximation of a given intuitionistic fuzzy number. The method is quite technical such that obtaining the trapezoidal approximation of an intuitionistic fuzzy numbers from the trapezoidal approximation of a fuzzy number is proposed in the present paper. Among the advantages of this me...

A new concept to the optimization problem in an intuitionistic fuzzy environment is introduced. A general model, of linear programming problems in which both the right hand side constants and the technological coefficients are intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, has been presented. An attempt has been made to find a general linear non-membership function and intuitionistic fuzzy index together with t...

This study focuses on the development of triangular fuzzy numbers, the revising of triangular fuzzy numbers, and the constructing of a HCFN (half-circle fuzzy number) model which can be utilized to perform more plural operations. They are further transformed for trigonometric functions and polar coordinates. From half-circle fuzzy numbers we can conceive cylindrical fuzzy numbers, which work be...

In this paper first we review two ranking methods for intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IF numbers), then we proposed a new ordering method for IF numbers in which we consider two characteristic values of membership and non-membership for an IF number. Key-Words: Intuitionistic Fuzzy Number, Ranking Function Methods, Characteristic Value

The dynamic multi-attribute decision making problems with intuitionistic fuzzy information are investigated. The notions of intuitionistic fuzzy variable and uncertain intuitionistic fuzzy variable are defined, and two new aggregation operators: dynamic intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging (DIFWA) operator and uncertain dynamic intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging (UDIFWA) operator are pr...

This research addresses system reliability analysis using weakest t-norm based approximate intuitionistic fuzzy arithmetic operations, where failure probabilities of all components are represented by different types of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. Due to the incomplete, imprecise, vague and conflicting information about the component of system, the present study evaluates the reliability of sy...

In this paper, the notions of $(T,S)$-composition matrix and$(T,S)$-interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy equivalence matrix areintroduced where $(T,S)$ is a dual pair of triangular module. Theyare the generalization of composition matrix and interval-valuedintuitionistic fuzzy equivalence matrix. Furthermore, theirproperties and characterizations are presented. Then a new methodbased on $tilde{...
