In this paper I will introduce the trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IF numbers) and will prove some operations for them. Also I am going to propose a new ordering method for IF numbers in which I will consider two characteristic values of membership and non-membership functions for an IF number. These values are defined by the integral of the inverse fuzzy membership and non-membership...

Received 17September 2013; accepted 5 October2013 L Baba Abstract. Finding shortest paths in graphs has been the area of interest for many researchers. Shortest paths are one of the fundamental and most widely used concepts in networks. In this paper the authors present an algorithm to find an Intuitionistic Fuzzy Shortest Path (IFSP) in a directed graph in which the cost of every edges are rep...

This study is devoted to address the notion of duality in Fully Intuitionistic Fuzzy Linear Programming Problems (FIFLP). The problem is addressed by using a revised simplex method with the Gaussian elimination process in fully intuitionistic fuzzy environment. Intuitionistic Fuzzy Trapezoidal Numbers (IFTrpN), along with the basic arithmetic techniques defined on them help in solving the (FIFL...

There exist some fuzziness and uncertainty in the process of ecological construction. The aim of this paper is to develop a direct and an effective simplified method for obtaining the cost-sharing scheme when some interested parties form a cooperative coalition to improve the ecological environment of Min River together. Firstly, we propose the solution concept of the least square prenucleolus ...

Project selection is considered as an important problem in project management. It is multi-criteria in nature and is based on various quantitative and qualitative factors. The main purpose of this paper is to present a new rank-based method for project selection in outranking relation. According to this approach, decision alternatives were clustered in the concordance matrix and the discordance...

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 ...

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...

The order relation of fuzzy number is important in decision making and optimization modeling, and ranking fuzzy numbers is difficult in nature. Ranking trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TrIFNs) is more difficult due to the fact that the TrIFNs are a generalization of the fuzzy numbers. The aim of this paper is to develop a new methodology for ranking TrIFNs. We define the value-index an...
