In this paper, a new thresholding technique using Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets (A-IFSs) and restricted dissimilarity functions is introduced. In recent years, various thresholding techniques ([18, 24]) based on fuzzy set theory have been introduced to overcome the problem of non-uniform illumination and inherent image vagueness. In this paper we analyze this task and propose a new method for handling the grayness ambiguity and vagueness during the process of threshold selection.

Intuitionistic fuzzy sets constitute an extension of fuzzy sets: while fuzzy sets give a degree to which an element belongs to a set, intuitionistic fuzzy sets give both a membership degree and a non-membership degree. The only constraint on those two degrees is that the sum must be smaller than or equal to 1. In fuzzy set theory, an important class of triangular norms is the class of those that satisfy the residuation principle. In the fuzzy case a t-norm satisfies the residuation principle if and only if it is left-continuous. Deschrijver, Cornelis and Kerre proved that for intuitionistic fuzzy t-norms the equivalence between the residuation principle and intuitionistic fuzzy left-continuity only holds for t-representable t-norms.1 In this paper we construct particular subclasses of intuitionistic fuzzy t-norms that satisfy the residuation principle but that are not t-representable and we show that a continuous intuitionistic fuzzy t-norm [Formula: see text] satisfying the residuation principle is t-representable if and only if [Formula: see text].

Abstract The intuitionistic fuzzy set is a useful tool to deal with vagueness and uncertainty. Correlation coefficient of the intuitionistic fuzzy sets is an important measure in intuitionistic fuzzy set theory and has great practical potential in a variety of areas, such as decision making, medical diagnosis, pattern recognition, etc. In this paper, an improved correlation coefficient of the intuitionistic fuzzy sets is defined, and it can overcome some drawbacks of the existing ones. The properties of this correlation coefficient are discussed. Then, the generalization of the coefficient of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets is also introduced. Finally, two examples about the application of the proposed correlation coefficient of the intuitionistic fuzzy sets in medical diagnosis and clustering are shown to illustrate the advantages over the existing methods.


The fuzzy sets and Intuitionistic fuzzy sets are very useful concepts to elaborate the vagueness in real world problems. The objective of our study is to apply fuzzy set theory and Intuitionistic fuzzy set theory in decision making process. In this paper, we identify in which society a person has to purchase a house in order to fulfil his requirement to maximum extent. In our study we use intuitionistic fuzzy sets to find a relation between the societies and the parameters. And then we find a relation between a person and the parameters. We calculate Normalized Euclidean distance between two Intuitionistic fuzzy sets to make a decision of purchasing house in a society.

The intuitionistic fuzzy set introduced by Atanassov has greater ability in depicting and handling uncertainty. Intuitionistic fuzzy measure is an important research area of intuitionistic fuzzy set theory. Distance measure and similarity measure are two complementary concepts quantifying the difference and closeness of intuitionistic fuzzy sets. This paper addresses the definition of an effective distance measure with concise form and specific meaning for Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets (AIFSs). A new distance measure for AIFSs is defined based on a distance measure of interval values and the transformation from AIFSs to interval valued fuzzy sets. The axiomatic properties of the new distance measure are mathematically investigated. Comparative analysis based in numerical examples indicates that the new distance measure is competent to quantify the difference between AIFSs. The application of the new distance measure is also discussed. A new method for multi-attribute decision making (MADM) is developed based on the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution method and the new distance measure. Numerical applications indicate that the developed MADM method can obtain reasonable preference orders. This shows that the new distance measure is effective and rational from both mathematical and practical points of view.

Interval-valued fuzzy sets constitute an extension of fuzzy sets which give an interval approximating the "real" (but unknown) membership degree. Interval-valued fuzzy sets are equivalent to intuitionistic fuzzy sets in the sense of Atanassov which give both a membership degree and a non-membership degree, whose sum must be smaller than or equal to 1. Both are equivalent to L-fuzzy sets w.r.t. a special lattice L*. In fuzzy set theory, an important class of triangular norms is the class of those that satisfy the residuation principle. In a previous paper5 we gave a construction for t-norms on L* satisfying the residuation principle which are not t-representable. In this paper we investigate the Smets-Magrez axioms and some other properties for the residual implicator generated by such t-norms.

Picture fuzzy set (2013) is a generalization of the Zadeh‟ fuzzy set (1965) and the Antanassov‟intuitionistic fuzzy set. The new concept could be useful for many computational intelligentproblems. Basic operators of the picture fuzzy logic were studied by Cuong, Ngan [10,11 ].Newconcept –Pythagorean picture fuzzy set ( PPFS) is a combination of Picture fuzzy set with theYager‟s Pythagorean fuzzy set [12-14].First, in the Part 1 of this paper, we consider basic notionson PPFS as set operators of PPFS‟s , Pythagorean picture relation, Pythagorean picture fuzzy softset. Next, the Part 2 of the paper is devoted to main operators in fuzzy logic on PPFS: picturenegation operator, picture t-norm, picture t-conorm, picture implication operators on PPFS.As aresult we will have a new branch of the picture fuzzy set theory.

In this paper, we will discuss interval-valued and intuitionistic fuzzy sets as a model for grayscale images, taking into account the uncertainty regarding the measured grayscale values, which in some cases is also related to the uncertainty regarding the spatial position of an object in an image. We will demonstrate the practical potential of this image model by introducing an interval-valued morphological theory and by illustrating its application with some examples. The results show that the uncertainty that is present during the image capture not only can be modelled, but can also be propagated such that the information regarding the uncertainty is never lost.
