Intuitionistic Fuzzy numbers each of which is characterized by the degree of membership and the degree of non-membership of an element are a very useful means to depict the decision information in the process of decision making. The aim of this article is to investigate the approach to multiple attribute group decision making with intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy numbers, some operational laws ...

This paper focuses on modelling fuzzy numbers with meaningful membership functions. More precisely, it proposes a method to construct trapezoidal fuzzy number approximations from raw discrete data. In many applications, input information is numerical, and therefore, particular fuzzy sets, such as fuzzy numbers, hold great interest and relevance in managing data imprecision and vagueness. The pr...

Fuzzy distance is applied on data analysis, classification, and product positioning analysis widely. In this paper, We introduce a fuzzy distance by using graded mean integration representation of generalized fuzzy number and the span of fuzzy number, We also discuss the distance of the linguistic data of “greater or less than x” and “about x”. It is reasonable to say “the fuzzy distance of abo...

This paper proposes a new approach based on Bonferroni mean operator and possibility degree to solve fuzzy multi-attribute decision making (FMADM) problems in which the attribute value takes the form of interval type-2 fuzzy numbers. We introduce the concepts of interval possibility mean value and present a new method for calculating the possibility degree of two interval trapezoidal type-2 fuz...

Ranking fuzzy numbers plays an important role in data analysis, decision making optimization, forecasting etc. The last few decades have seen a large number of methods investigated for ranking fuzzy numbers. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for the ranking of generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers namely Haar ranking and is based on the approximate coefficients and detailed coefficients...

In some cases, our uncertainty about about a quantity can be described by an interval of its possible values. If we have two or more pieces of interval information about the same quantity, then we can conclude that the actual value belongs to the intersection of these intervals. In general, we may need a fuzzy number to represent our partial knowledge. A fuzzy number can be viewed as a collecti...

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...

In this paper the solution of a second order linear differential equations with intuitionistic fuzzy boundary value is described. It is discussed for two different cases: coefficient is positive crisp number and coefficient is negative crisp number. Here fuzzy numbers are taken as generalized trapezoidal intutionistic fuzzy numbers (GTrIFNs). Further a numerical example is illustrated.
