In this article, we try to obtain a more general form than -intuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideals in ordered semigroups. The notion of an -intuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideal is introduced, and several properties are investigated. Characterizations of an -intuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideal are established. A condition for an -intuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideal to be an intuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideal is provided. It is shown that every -intuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideal is an -intuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideal, and every -intuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideal is an -intuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideal but the converse is not true. The important achievement of the study with an -intuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideal is that the notion of an -intuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideal is a special case of an -intuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideal, and, thus, several results in the paper (Jun et al. in Bi-ideals of ordered semigroups based on the intuitionistic fuzzy points (submitted)) are the corollaries of our results obtained in this paper.
