As a generalization of complex fuzzy set (CFS), interval-valued complex fuzzy set (IVCFS) is a new research topic in the field of CFS theory, which can handle two different information features with the uncertainty. Distance is an important tool in the field of IVCFS theory. To enhance the applicability of IVCFS, this paper presents some new interval-valued complex fuzzy distances based on traditional Hamming and Euclidean distances of complex numbers. Furthermore, we elucidate the geometric properties of these distances. Finally, these distances are used to deal with decision-making problem in the IVCFS environment.

We introduce the concept of generalised interval-valued fuzzy soft set and its operations and study some of their properties. We give applications of this theory in solving a decision making problem. We also introduce a similarity measure of two generalised interval-valued fuzzy soft sets and discuss its application in a medical diagnosis problem: fuzzy set; soft set; fuzzy soft set; generalised fuzzy soft set; generalised interval-valued fuzzy soft set; interval-valued fuzzy set; interval-valued fuzzy soft set.

By combining the interval-valued hesitant fuzzy set and soft set models, the purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of interval-valued hesitant fuzzy soft sets. Further, some operations on the interval-valued hesitant fuzzy soft sets are investigated, such as complement, “AND,” “OR,” ring sum, and ring product operations. Then, by means of reduct interval-valued fuzzy soft sets and level hesitant fuzzy soft sets, we present an adjustable approach to interval-valued hesitant fuzzy soft sets based on decision making and some numerical examples are provided to illustrate the developed approach. Finally, the weighted interval-valued hesitant fuzzy soft set is also introduced and its application in decision making problem is shown.

Complex fuzzy set (CFS) is a recent development in the field of fuzzy set (FS) theory. The significance of CFS lies in the fact that CFS assigned membership grades from a unit circle in the complex plane, i.e., in the form of a complex number whose amplitude term belongs to a [ 0 , 1 ] interval. The interval-valued complex fuzzy set (IVCFS) is one of the extensions of the CFS in which the amplitude term is extended from the real numbers to the interval-valued numbers. The novelty of IVCFS lies in its larger range comparative to CFS. We often use fuzzy distance measures to solve some problems in our daily life. Hence, this paper develops some series of distance measures between IVCFSs by using Hamming and Euclidean metrics. The boundaries of these distance measures for IVCFSs are obtained. Finally, we study two geometric properties include rotational invariance and reflectional invariance of these distance measures.

Decision making under uncertainty is a crucial issue and most demanding area of research now a days. Intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy set plays important role in dealing with the circumstances in which decision makers judge an alternative with a collection membership grades and a collection of non-membership grades. This paper contributes a novel and advanced distance measure between Intuitionistic Hesitant fuzzy sets (IHFSs). A comparative analysis of the present distance measure with existing measures is performed first. Afterwards, a case study is carried in multi-criteria decision making problem to exhibit the applicability and rationality of the proposed distance measure. The advantage of the proposed distance measure over the existing distance measures is that in case of deficit number of elements in IHFs, a decision maker can evaluate distance measure without adding extra elements to make them equivalent and furthermore, it works in successfully in all the situations.

The researcher has been facing problems while handling imprecise and vague information, i.e., the problems of networking, decision-making, etc. For encountering such complicated data, the notion of fuzzy sets (FS) has been considered an influential tool. The notion was extended to its generalizations by a number of researchers in different ways which helps to understand and assess even more complex issues. This article characterizes imprecision with four kinds of values of membership. In this work, we aim to define and examine cubic picture fuzzy sets and give an application on averaging aggregation operators. We first introduce the notion of a cubic picture fuzzy set, which is a pair of interval-valued picture fuzzy set and a picture fuzzy set by giving examples. Then, we define two kinds of ordering on these sets and also discuss some set-theoretical properties. Moreover, we introduce three kinds of averaging aggregation operators based on cubic picture fuzzy sets and, at the end, we illustrate the results with a decision-making problem by using one of the provided aggregation operators.

Fuzziness is inherent in decision data and decision making process. In this paper, interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set is used to capture fuzziness in multi-criteria decision making problems. The purpose of this paper is to develop a new method for solving multi-criteria decision making problem in interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environments. First, we introduce and discuss the concept of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy point operators. Using the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy point operators, we can reduce the degree of uncertainty of the elements in a universe corresponding to an interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set. Then, we define an evaluation function for the decision-making problem to measure the degrees to which alternatives satisfy and do not satisfy the decision-maker's requirement. Furthermore, a series of new score functions are defined for multi-criteria decision making problem based on the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy point operators and the evaluation function and their effectiveness and advantage are illustrated by examples.

Interval-valued hesitant fuzzy set (IVHFS), which is the further generalization of hesitant fuzzy set, can overcome the barrier that the precise membership degrees are sometimes hard to be specified and permit the membership degrees of an element to a set to have a few different interval values. To efficiently and effectively aggregate the interval-valued hesitant fuzzy information, in this paper, we investigate the continuous hesitant fuzzy aggregation operators with the aid of continuous OWA operator; the C-HFOWA operator and C-HFOWG operator are presented and their essential properties are studied in detail. Then, we extend the C-HFOW operators to aggregate multiple interval-valued hesitant fuzzy elements and then develop the weighted C-HFOW (WC-HFOWA and WC-HFOWG) operators, the ordered weighted C-HFOW (OWC-HFOWA and OWC-HFOWG) operators, and the synergetic weighted C-HFOWA (SWC-HFOWA and SWC-HFOWG) operators; some properties are also discussed to support them. Furthermore, a SWC-HFOW operators-based approach for multicriteria decision making problem is developed. Finally, a practical example involving the evaluation of service quality of high-tech enterprises is carried out and some comparative analyses are performed to demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of the developed approaches.

The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of linguistic interval-valued q-rung Orthopair fuzzy set (LIVq-ROFS) as a generalization of linguistic q-rung orthopair fuzzy set. We develop some basic operations, score and accuracy functions to compare the LIVq-ROF values (LIVq-ROFVs). Based on the proposed operations a series of aggregation techniques to aggregate the LIVq-ROFVs and some of their desirable properties are discussed in detail. Moreover, a TOPSIS method is developed to solve a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem under LIVq-ROFS setting. Furthermore, a MCDM approach is proposed based on the developed operators and TOPSIS method, then a practical decision making example is given in order to explain the proposed method. To illustrate to effectiveness and application of the proposed method a comparative study is also conducted.
