Abstract In real-life decision-making challenges, experts quite frequently have a preference for expressing their perspective in natural linguistic terms rather than definite numerical format. These linguistic representation has been utilized to resolve plenty of decision-making problems. This paper displays the thorough study of matrix games where in the payoffs are characterized through linguistic interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (LIVIFSs). Solution of these matrix games are attained by resolving a duo of linear or nonlinear programming problems, originated through non-linear bi-objective programming problems. Finally, a numerical example is used to demonstrate the applicability of the suggested approach.

Due to the huge applications of fuzzy set theory, many generalizations were available in literature. Atanassov (1983) and Atanassov and Gargov (1989) introduced the notions of intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) and interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) respectively. It is observed that IFSs and IVIFSs are more suitable tools for dealing with imprecise information and very powerful in modeling real life problems. However, many researchers made efforts to rank IVIFSs due to its importance in fusion of information. In this paper, a new ranking method is introduced and studied for IVIFSs. The proposed method is compared and illustrated with other existing methods by numerical examples. Then, it is utilized to identify the best alternative in multiple criteria decision-making problems in which criterion values for alternatives are IVIFSs. On the basis of the developed approach, it would provide a powerful way to the decision-makers to make his or her decision under IVIFSs. The validity and applicability of the proposed method are illustrated with practical examples.

Similarity measures, distance measures and entropy measures are some common tools considered to be applied to some interesting real-life phenomena including pattern recognition, decision making, medical diagnosis and clustering. Further, interval-valued picture fuzzy sets (IVPFSs) are effective and useful to describe the fuzzy information. Therefore, this manuscript aims to develop some similarity measures for IVPFSs due to the significance of describing the membership grades of picture fuzzy set in terms of intervals. Several types cosine similarity measures, cotangent similarity measures, set-theoretic and grey similarity measures, four types of dice similarity measures and generalized dice similarity measures are developed. All the developed similarity measures are validated, and their properties are demonstrated. Two well-known problems, including mineral field recognition problems and multi-attribute decision making problems, are solved using the newly developed similarity measures. The superiorities of developed similarity measures over the similarity measures of picture fuzzy sets, interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy sets are demonstrated through a comparison and numerical examples.

Ranking of interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) plays an important role because of its attraction and applicability to model uncertainty in real life problems. In this article, an attempt has been made to devise a new method for ranking of IVIFSs based on exponential function. The significance of the method is illustrated with the help of some numerical examples and the results are compared with other existing methods. Furthermore, a multi criteria decision making method is presented here to evaluate the final ranking of the alternatives using the proposed ranking method and discussed the consistency of so obtained results.
