Currently most of the Web-Based learning systems assess the learner’s knowledge in terms of the learner’s crisp responses to the tests that are taken during the learning process. However, several factors such as successful guesses or choosing a more probable answer lead to uncertainty about the evaluation process. To this end, this paper investigates the use of a novel method based on the Intui...

Building upon the concept of  D operator introduced by Atanassov (1989), this article proposes an improved objective approach and a hybrid approach to operationalize  D so that the hesitation in an intuitionistic fuzzy number (IFN) can be further refined and characterized. Numerical experiments are carried out to demonstrate the features of the proposed approach and its novelty compared to ex...

In this paper, we redefine the notion of fuzzy 2-normed linear space using t-norm and fuzzy anti-2-normed linear space using t-conorm and introduced the definition of intuitionistic fuzzy 2-norm on a linear space. Mathematics Subject Classification: 46S40, 03E72

Constrained shortest path problem (CSPP) is an NPComplete problem where the goal is to determine the cheapest path bounded by a given delay constraint. This problem finds application in several fields like television and transportation networks, ATM circuit routing, multimedia applications etc. In these kinds of applications it is important to provide quality of service (QoS). Therefore, it is ...

The Heronian mean provides an aggregation operator that considers the inter-dependent phenomena among the aggregated arguments. Nevertheless, it seems that the existing literatures only consider the HM for aggregating crisp numbers rather than any other types of arguments. In this paper, the HM under interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environments is studied. First, a generalized interval-val...

In the present paper a generalization of the operator Fα,β de ned by Atanassov in [1] is considered. This operator is de ned over the class of p-intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Its properties are studied and a Theorem analogous to the results obtained in [4] is proved.

The notion of lacunary ideal convergence in intuitionistic fuzzy normed linear space (IFNLS) was introduced by the present corresponding author [P. Debnath, Lacunary ideal convergence in intuitionistic fuzzy normed linear spaces, Comput. Math. Appl., 63 (2012), 708-715] and an open problem in that paper was whether every lacunary I-convergent sequence is lacunary I-Cauchy. Further, a new concep...

Although medical waste usually accounts for a small fraction of urban municipal waste, its proper disposal has been a challenging issue as it often contains infectious, radioactive, or hazardous waste. This article proposes a two-level hierarchical multicriteria decision model to address medical waste disposal method selection (MWDMS), where disposal methods are assessed against different crite...

In fuzzy set theory, it is well known that a triangular fuzzy number can be uniquely determined through its position and entropies. In the present communication, we extend this concept on triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number for its one-to-one correspondence with its position and entropies. Using the concept of fuzzy entropy the estimators of the intuitionistic fuzzy regression coefficients h...

The intuitionistic linguistic variables are easier to describe the fuzzy information which widely exists in the real world, and Bonferroni mean can capture the interrelationship of the individual arguments. However, the traditional Bonferroni mean can only process the crisp number. In this paper, we will extend Bonferroni mean to the intuitionistic linguistic environment and propose a multiple ...
