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 purpose of this paper is to develop a methodology for solving a new type of matrix games in which payoffs are expressed with triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TIFNs). In this methodology, the concept of solutions for matrix games with payoffs of TIFNs is introduced. A pair of auxiliary intuitionistic fuzzy programming models for players are established to determine optimal strategies...

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 study a new approach to rank exponential fuzzy numbers using  -cuts is established. The metric distance of the interval numbers is extended to exponential fuzzy numbers. By using the ranking of exponential fuzzy numbers and using  -cuts the critical path of a project network is solved and illustrated by numerical examples. Keywords: Exponential Fuzzy Numbers,  -cuts, Metric Dista...

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...

We present a fuzzy optimization problem in business and economics. In this problem, a fuzzy price is determined by using a linear two degree demand functions. The objective is to find the optimal fuzzy revenue, which is derived from the fuzzy price. We use level (λ, 1) interval-valued fuzzy numbers to consider the fuzzy price and the fuzzy revenue. Using signed distance to defuzzify, we can obt...
