The concept of quasi-coincidence of a fuzzy interval value with an interval valued fuzzy set is considered. In fact, this is a generalization of quasi-coincidence of a fuzzy point with a fuzzy set. By using this new idea, the notion of interval valued (∈,∈ ∨q)-fuzzy filters in BL-algebras which is a generalization of fuzzy filters of BL-algebras, is defined, and related properties are investiga...

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...

Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy number uses membership degree and non-member ship degree to express a decision-maker’s hesitation, which make decision-maker express his/her opinion in uncertainty decision-making environment easily. The comparison between some intervalvalued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers can not be undertaken because of its limitation. In application such as weak consistency...

In this paper, a new soft computing group decision method based on the concept of compromise ratio is introduced for determining decision makers (DMs)' weights through the group decision process under uncertainty. In this method, preferences and judgments of the DMs or experts are expressed by linguistic terms for rating the industrial alternatives among selected criteria as well as the relativ...

It is well known fact that binary relations are generalized mathematical functions. Contrary to functions from domain to range, binary relations may assign to each element of domain two or more elements of range. Some basic operations on functions such as the inverse and composition are applicable to binary relations as well. Depending on the domain or range or both are fuzzy value fuzzy set, i...

The definition of hesitant interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (HIVIFSs) is developed based on interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) and hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs). Then, some operations on HIVIFSs are introduced in detail, and their properties are further discussed. In addition, some hesitant interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy number aggregation operators based on t-conorm...

We introduce the concept of interval-valued fuzzy congruences on a semigroup S and we obtain some important results: First, for any interval-valued fuzzy congruence R on a group G, the interval-valued congruence class Re is an interval-valued fuzzy normal subgroup of G. Second, for any interval-valued fuzzy congruence R on a groupoid S, we show that a binary operation ∗ an S/R is well-defined a...

Fourier analysis is a powerful tool for many problems, and especially for solving various differential equations of interest in science and engineering. In the present paper since the utilization of Zadeh's Extension principle is quite difficult in practice, we prefer the idea of level sets in order to construct a fuzzy-valued function on a closed interval via related membership function. We de...

The notion of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets was first introduced by Atanassov and Gargov in 1989 as a generalization of both interval-valued fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy sets. In this paper we first apply the concept of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets to K-algebras. Then we introduce the notion of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy ideals (IIFIs, in short) of K-al...
