Several hybrid aggregation operators for triangular intuitionistic fuzzy set and their application in multi-criteria decision making

In this paper, on the basis of analyzing some existing limitations in the operational laws defined for triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TIFNs), we first proposed some improved operational laws for TIFNs. Then, based on new operational laws, we developed some aggregation operators for TIFNs, such as triangular intuitionistic fuzzy-weighted averaging operator, triangular intuitionistic fuzzy geometric operator, triangular intuitionistic fuzzy-ordered-weighted averaging operator, triangular intuitionistic fuzzy-ordered-weighted geometric operator, triangular intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid averaging operator, and triangular intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid geometric operators, and discussed some desirable properties of these operators. Furthermore, based on these aggregation operators, we developed a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method in which the criteria values were represented by TIFNs. Finally, a numerical example was used to show the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed MCDM method by comparing the proposed method with the existing methods.

Generalized intuitionistic fuzzy geometric aggregation operators and their application to multi-criteria decision making

In this paper, we extend the generalized weighted geometric and generalized ordered weighted geometric operators to intuitionistic fuzzy environments, that is, we develop a series of generalized intuitionistic fuzzy geometric operators to aggregate input arguments that are expressed by intuitionistic fuzzy values based on Archimedean t-conorm and t-norm. Then some desired properties of these aggregation operators are investigated. The relations between these operators and some existing intuitionistic fuzzy geometric aggregation operators are discussed in detail. Furthermore, applying these proposed operators, we develop an approach for multi-criteria decision making with intuitionistic fuzzy information. Finally, a practical example is given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.

Intuitionistic fuzzy geometric aggregation operators based on einstein operations

Intuitionistic fuzzy information aggregation plays an important part in Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy set theory, which has emerged to be a new research direction receiving more and more attention in recent years. In this paper, we first introduce some operations on intuitionistic fuzzy sets, such as Einstein sum, Einstein product, Einstein exponentiation, etc., and further develop some new geometric aggregation operators, such as the intuitionistic fuzzy Einstein weighted geometric operator and the intuitionistic fuzzy Einstein ordered weighted geometric operator, which extend the weighted geometric (WG) operator and the ordered weighted geometric (OWG) operator to accommodate the environment in which the given arguments are intuitionistic fuzzy values. We also establish some desirable properties of these operators, such as commutativity, idempotency and monotonicity, and give some numerical examples to illustrate the developed aggregation operators. In addition, we compare the proposed operators with the existing intuitionistic fuzzy geometric operators and get the corresponding relations. Finally, we apply the intuitionistic fuzzy Einstein weighted geometric operator to deal with multiple attribute decision making under intuitionistic fuzzy environments. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Incomplete interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference relations

The aim of this paper is to investigate decision making problems with interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference information, in which the preferences provided by the decision maker over alternatives are incomplete or uncertain. We define some new preference relations, including additive consistent incomplete interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation, multiplicative consistent incomplete interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation and acceptable incomplete interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation. Based on the arithmetic average and the geometric mean, respectively, we give two procedures for extending the acceptable incomplete interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference relations to the complete interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference relations. Then, by using the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy averaging operator or the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy geometric operator, an approach is given to decision making based on the incomplete interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation, and the developed approach is applied to a practical problem. It is worth pointing out that if the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation is reduced to the real-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation, then all the above results are also reduced to the counterparts, which can be applied to solve the decision making problems with incomplete intuitionistic fuzzy preference information.
