A multiobjective security game problem with fuzzy payoffs is studied in this paper. The problem is formulated as a bilevel programming problem with fuzzy coefficients. Using the idea of nearest interval approximation of fuzzy numbers, the problem is transformed into a bilevel programming problem with interval coefficients. The Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions is applied then to reduce the problem ...

Grey systems and interval valued fuzzy sets appear to be similar concepts. This abstract provides a brief introduction to grey systems and compares them to interval valued fuzzy sets. We argue that grey system is similar to an interval fuzzy set, but has different properties. Grey systems focus on the interval range of the system property itself, but interval fuzzy sets consider the fuzzy membe...

In order to obtain the information from an L-Fuzzy context, the complete relation between the objects and the attributes is needed. However, the contexts that model many situations have absent values. To solve this problem, at the beginning of the paper we remind the interval-valued linguistic variable definition and, later, we propose an extension of the fuzzy propositions to the interval-valu...

In this paper, following the ideas of (continuous) t-norm and interval numbers, a concept of (continuous) interval-valued t-norm is proposed. Based on the interval-valued fuzzy set and the continuous interval-valued t-norm, we propose a notion of interval-valued fuzzy metric space, which is a generalization of fuzzy metric space in the sense of George and Veeramani [Fuzzy Sets and Systems 64 (1...

A fuzzy logic controller with interval-valued inference mechanism is presented for the control of distributed parameter system (DPS). Interval-valued fuzzy set, a special case of type-2 fuzzy set, is innovatively designed to cope with the spatial information of distributed parameter systems. The proposed fuzzy logic controller is composed of six modules: fuzzifier, fuzzy composition, rules, inf...

In this paper, the Multiple Attribute Group Decision Making (MAGDM) problems is based on the attribute weights calculated from completely unknown information using the Maximal Entropy OWA weights. The interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (IIFOWA) operator is utilized to aggregate all individual interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy decision matrices provided by the dec...

In the multicriteria strategic planning of an organization, management should often be aware of employees’ resistance to change before making new decisions; otherwise, a chosen strategy, though technologically acceptable, may not be efficient in the long term. This paper, using a sample case study within an organization, shows how different versions of ELECTRE methods can be used in choosing ef...

In the literature on MCDM, many methods have been proposed in order to sort alternatives evaluated on several attributes into ordered categories. Most of them were proposed on an ad hoc basis. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to a recent trend of research aiming at giving these methods sound theoretical foundations. Using tools from conjoint measurement, we provide an axiomatic analys...
