Abstract

The ranking of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers is paramount in the decision making process in a fuzzy and uncertain environment. In this paper, a new ranking function is defined, which is based on Robust’s ranking index of the membership function and the non-membership function of trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. The mentioned function also incorporates a parameter for the attitude of the decision factors. The given method is illustrated through several numerical examples and is studied in comparison to other already-existent methods. Starting from the new classification method, an algorithm for solving fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems is proposed. The application of said algorithm implies accepting the subjectivity of the deciding factors, and offers a clear perspective on the way in which the subjective attitude influences the decision-making process. Finally, a MCDM problem is solved to outline the advantages of the algorithm proposed in this paper.
