Trapezoidal Intuitionistic Fuzzy Numbers

Modelling real life (industrial) problems using intuitionistic fuzzy numbers is inevitable in the present scenario due to their efficiency in solving problems and their accuracy in the results. Particularly, trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TrIFNs) are widely used in describing impreciseness and incompleteness of a data. Any intuitionistic fuzzy decision-making problem requires the ranking procedure for intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. Ranking trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers play an important role in problems involving incomplete and uncertain information. The available intuitionistic fuzzy decision-making methods cannot perform well in all types of problems, due to the partial ordering on the set of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. In this paper, a new total ordering on the class of TrIFNs using eight different score functions, namely, imprecise score, nonvague score, incomplete score, accuracy score, spread score, nonaccuracy score, left area score, and right area score, is achieved and our proposed method is validated using illustrative examples. Significance of our proposed method with familiar existing methods is discussed.

Trapezoidal Intuitionistic Fuzzy Numbers

The aim of this paper is to develop a method for ranking trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TrIFNs) in the process of decision making in the intuitionistic fuzzy environment. Firstly, the concept of TrIFNs is introduced. Arithmetic operations and cut sets over TrIFNs are investigated. Then, the values and ambiguities of the membership degree and the nonmembership degree for TrIFNs are defined as well as the value-index and ambiguity-index. Finally, a value and ambiguity-based ranking method is developed and applied to solve multiattribute decision making problems in which the ratings of alternatives on attributes are expressed using TrIFNs. A numerical example is examined to demonstrate the implementation process and applicability of the method proposed in this paper. Furthermore, comparison analysis of the proposed method is conducted to show its advantages over other similar methods.
