In the traditional fuzzy logic, the expert’s degree of certainty in a statement is described either by a number from the interval [0, 1] or by a subinterval of such an interval. To adequately describe the opinion of several experts, researchers proposed to use a union of the corresponding sets – which is, in general, more complex than an interval. In this paper, we prove that for such set-value...

Type-2 fuzzy sets are growing in popularity as, for certain applications they model uncertainty and imprecision better than type1 fuzzy sets. However, type-2 fuzzy sets can be difficult to understand and explain. Recent work has introduced embedded type-2 fuzzy sets and the Representation Theorem which enable us to discuss type-2 fuzzy sets in a different way. In particular they allow for alter...

We discuss some interesting sublattices of interval-valued fuzzy subgroups. In our main result, we consider the set of all interval-valued fuzzy normal subgroups with finite range that attain the same value at the identity element of the group. We then prove that this set forms a modular sublattice of the lattice of interval-valued fuzzy subgroups. In fact, this is an interval-valued fuzzy vers...

The n-dimensional fuzzy sets have been introduced as a generalization of interval-valued fuzzy sets, Atanassov’s intuitionistic and interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets. In this paper we investigate t-norms on 3-dimensional sets which are joinmorphisms. Under some additional conditions we show that they can be represented using a representation which generalizes a similar representation fo...

The concept of quasi-coincidence of an interval valued fuzzy set is considered. By using this idea, the notion of interval valued (α, β)−fuzzy sub-implicative ideals of BCIalgebras is introduced, which is a generalization of a fuzzy sub-implicative ideal. Also some related properties are studied and in particular, the interval valued (∈,∈ ∨q)−fuzzy subimplicative ideals in a BCI-algebra will be...

In this paper, using fuzzy complex valued functions and fuzzy complex valued fuzzy measures ([11]) and interval-valued Choquet integrals ([2-6]), we define Choquet integral with respect to a fuzzy complex valued fuzzy measure of a fuzzy complex valued function and investigate some basic properties of them.

In this article, we propose a method to deal with incomplete interval-valuedhesitant fuzzy preference relations. For this purpose, an additivetransitivity inspired technique for interval-valued hesitant fuzzypreference relations is formulated which assists in estimating missingpreferences. First of all, we introduce a condition for decision makersproviding incomplete information. Decision maker...

The evaluation is an important approach to promote the development of the E-Government. Since the rapid development of E-Government in the world, the E-Government performance evaluation has become a hot issue in the academia. In this paper, we develop a new evaluation method for the development of the E-Government based on the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set which is a powerful techniq...

The earned value technique is a crucial and important technique in analysis and control the performance and progress of mega projects by integrating three elements of them, i.e., time, cost and scope. This paper proposes a new version of earned value analysis (EVA) to handle uncertainty in mega projects under interval-valued fuzzy (IVF)-environment. Considering that uncertainty is very common i...
