Interval type-2 fuzzy sets, each of which is characterized by the footprint of uncertainty, are a very useful means to depict the linguistic information in the process of decision making. In this article, we investigate the group decision making problems in which all the linguistic information provided by the decision makers is expressed as interval type-2 fuzzy decision matrices where each of ...

The type-1 OWA operator is a new aggregation operator that is used to directly aggregate fuzzy sets via an OWA mechanism. In this paper, an α-level type-1 OWA operator capable of aggregating the α-cuts of fuzzy sets is proposed. Based on the fuzzy set Representation Theorem, we indicate that a general type-1 OWA operator can be represented by its α-level type-1 OWA operators. This result is ver...

We develop some new cases of the induced continuous ordered weighted averaging (ICOWA) operator and study their desirable properties, which are very suitable to deal with group decision making (GDM) with interval fuzzy preference relations. First, we present the consensus indicator ICOWA (CI-ICOWA) operator which uses the consensus indicator of the interval fuzzy preference as the order inducin...

To the best of our knowledge, till now no one has used fuzzy numbers for solving the linear programming problem with bounded variables. In this paper, a new method for solving a special kind of fuzzy number linear programming problem with bounded variables directly using linear ranking function is proposed. In the proposed method, we represented only the cost coefficients by trapezoidal fuzzy n...

In most practical problems of linear programming problems with fuzzy cost coefficients, some or all variables are restricted to lie within lower and upper bounds. In this paper, the authors propose a new method for solving such problems called the bounded fuzzy primal simplex algorithm. Some researchers used the linear programming problem with fuzzy cost coefficients as an auxiliary problem for...

In this paper, we introduce and formulate the definitions of Banach operator type k and Banach operator pair on intuitionistic fuzzy metric space. Thereafter we prove some properties and theorems on intuitionistic fuzzy metric space.

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems for for evaluating the information security risk with intuitionistic fuzzy information. We utilize the induced intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (I-IFOWA) operator and intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging (IFWA) operator to aggregate the intuitionistic fuzzy information corresponding to ...
