This short comment aims at providing connections between the algorithm for image thresholding using type II fuzzy sets, recently proposed by Tizhoosh in Ref. [1], and Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets (A-IFSs), as well as pointing out some terminological issues. The idea of applying higher-order fuzzy sets for image thresholding discussed in Ref. [1] is interesting and promising; however, s...

In 1966, (Imai and Iseki, 1966) defined a class of algebras of type (2, 0) named BCK-algebras. At the same time, (Iseki, 1966) generalized another class of algebras of type (2, 0) called BCI-algebras. Hu and Li (1983) introduced the concept of BCH-algebras and gave examples of proper BCH-algebras (Hu and Li, 1985). Neggers and Kim (2001) introduced and investigated a class of algebras, viz., th...

By extending the Bonferroni mean operator to the intuitionistic fuzzy situation, we introduce a new kind of aggregating operator: the induced generalized weighted Bonferroni mean(I-GWBM) operator. The I-GWBM operator includes many famous aggregation operators for intuitionistic fuzzy sets(IFSs) as special cases. Then, we generalize the I-GWBM operator by using quasi-arithmetic means and propose...

We present a family of algebraic structures, called rectangular bilattices, which serve as a natural accommodation and powerful generalization to both intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) and interval-valued fuzzy sets (IVFSs). These structures are useful on one hand to clarify the exact nature of the relationship between the above two common extensions of fuzzy sets, and on the other hand provide ...

Plenty of researches have been carried out, focusing on the measures of distance, similarity, and correlation between intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs).However, most of them are single-valued measures and lack of potential for efficiency validation.In this paper, a new vector valued similarity measure for IFSs is proposed based on OWA operators.The vector is defined as a two-tuple consisting of ...

Due to the increasing competition of globalization, selection of the most appropriate supplier is one of the key factors for asupply chain management’s success. Due to conflicting evaluations and insufficient information about the criteria, Intuitionisticfuzzy sets (IFSs) considered as animpressive tool and utilized to specify the relative importance of the criteria. The aim of this paper is to...

Entropy of an intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) is used to indicate the degree of fuzziness for IFSs. In this paper we deal with entropies of IFSs. We first review some existing entropies of IFSs and then propose a new entropy measure based on exponential operations for an IFS. Finally, comparisons are made with some existing entropies to show the effectiveness of our proposed one.

the intuitionistic fuzzy set has been applied to game theory very rarely since it was introduced by atanassov in 1983. the aim of this paper is to develop an effective methodology for solving matrix games with payoffs of atanassov’s triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (tifns). in this methodology, the concepts and ranking order relations of atanassov’s tifns are defined. a pair of bi-object...

An AG-groupoid is a non-associative algebraic structure mid way between a groupoid and a commutative semigroup. The left identity in an AGgroupoid if exists is unique [9]. An AG-groupoid is non-associative and non-commutative algebraic structure, nevertheless, it posses many interesting properties which we usually find in associative and commutative algebraic structures. An AG-groupoid with rig...

We propose a method for ranking alternatives represented by Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets (A-IFSs) which takes into account not only the amount of information related to an alternative (expressed by a distance from the ideal positive alternative) but also the reliability of information (how sure the information is). We stress (like in our previous papers) that taking into account all th...
