triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (tifns) is a special case of intuitionistic fuzzy (if) set and the ranking of tifns is an important problem. the aim of this paper is to develop a new methodology for ranking tifns by using multiattribute decision making methods (madm). in this methodology, the value and ambiguity indices of tifns may be considered as the attributes and the tifns in compa...

In this paper attention has been paid to the study of a new ranking procedure for trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy number (TRIFN). There are numerous methods for ranking of simple fuzzy numbers but, we lack of effective methods for ranking of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFN). To serve the purpose, the value and ambiguity index of TRIFNs have been defined. In order to rank TRIFNs, we have defi...

Ranking of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TIFNs) is an important problem, which is solved by the value and ambiguity based ranking method developed in this paper. Firstly, the concept of TIFNs is introduced. Arithmetic operations and cut sets over TIFNs are investigated. Then, the values and ambiguities of the membership degree and the non-membership degree for TIFNs are defined as we...

Most insurance companies publish few data on the occurrence and detection of insurance fraud. This stands in contrast to the previous literature on costly state verification, which has shown that it is optimal to commit to an auditing strategy, as the credible announcement of thoroughly auditing claim reports might act as a powerful deterrent. We show that uncertainty about fraud detection can ...

A Working Paper is the author's intellectual property. It is intended as a means to promote research to interested readers.

A symmetric group of individuals face the dilemma of sharing a common resource: each player chooses ...

Let W (ψ; x, y) be the wideband ambiguity function. It is obtained in this note that y− α+2 2 W (ψ;x, y)(α > −1) is SO(2)-invariant if and only if the Fourier transform of ψ is a Laguerre function.

We provide a rationale for ambiguous communication. We do so by considering a cheap talk game in which a (possibly ambiguity averse) sender (S) able to randomize according to unknown probabilities faces an ambiguity averse receiver (R). We show that under fairly general circumstances, there exist equilibria featuring Ellsbergian communication strategies that allow both S and R to obtain a highe...

The views expressed in the papers are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect those of the Banco Central do Brasil. This paper characterizes ambiguity averse preferences in the absence of the completeness axiom. We axiomatize multiple selves versions of some of the most important ex...
