Study on divergence measures for intuitionistic fuzzy sets and its application in medical diagnosis

As far as medical diagnosis problem is concerned, predicting the actual disease in complex situations has been a concerning matter for the doctors/experts. The divergence measure for intuitionistic fuzzy sets is an effective and potent tool in addressing the medical decision making problems. We define a new divergence measure for intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFS) and its interesting properties are studied. The existing divergence measures under intuitionistic fuzzy environment are reviewed and their counter-intuitive cases has been explored. The parameter $\alpha $ is incorporated in the proposed divergence measure and it is defined as parametric intuitionistic fuzzy divergence measure (PIFDM). The different choices of the parameter $\alpha$ provide different decisions about the disease. As we increase the value of $\alpha $, the information about the disease increases and move towards the optimal solution with the reduced in the uncertainty. Finally, we compare our results with the already existing results, which illustrate the role of the parameter $\alpha $ in obtaining the optimal solution in the medical decision making application. The results demonstrate that the parametric intuitionistic fuzzy divergence measure (PIFDM) is more comprehensive and effective than the proposed intuitionistic fuzzy divergence measure and the existing intuitionistic fuzzy divergence measures for decision making in medical investigations.

Intuitionistic and interval-valued intutionistic fuzzy preference relations and their measures of similarity for the evaluation of agreement within a group

Szmidt and Kacprzyk (Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence 3070:388–393, 2004a) introduced a similarity measure, which takes into account not only a pure distance between intuitionistic fuzzy sets but also examines if the compared values are more similar or more dissimilar to each other. By analyzing this similarity measure, we find it somewhat inconvenient in some cases, and thus we develop a new similarity measure between intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Then we apply the developed similarity measure for consensus analysis in group decision making based on intuitionistic fuzzy preference relations, and finally further extend it to the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set theory.

A new approach for solving fully intuitionistic fuzzy transportation problems

In this paper, a well-known network-structured problem called the transportation problem (TP) is considered in an uncertain environment. The transportation costs, supply and demand are represented by trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TrIFNs) which are the more generalized form of trapezoidal fuzzy numbers involving a degree of acceptance and a degree of rejection. We formulate the intuitionistic fuzzy TP (IFTP) and propose a solution approach to solve the problem. The IFTP is converted into a deterministic linear programming (LP) problem, which is solved using standard LP algorithms. The main contributions of this paper are fivefold: (1) we convert the formulated IFTP into a deterministic classical LP problem based on ordering of TrIFNs using accuracy function; (2) in contrast to most existing approaches, which provide a crisp solution, we propose a new approach that provides an intuitionistic fuzzy optimal solution; (3) in contrast to existing methods that include negative parts in the obtained intuitionistic fuzzy optimal solution and intuitionistic fuzzy optimal cost, we propose a new method that provides non-negative intuitionistic fuzzy optimal solution and optimal cost; (4) we discuss about the advantages of the proposed method over the existing methods for solving IFTPs; (5) we demonstrate the feasibility and richness of the obtained solutions in the context of two application examples.     

Fuzzy decision-making method based on the weighted correlation coefficient under intuitionistic fuzzy environment

A multicriteria fuzzy decision-making method based on weighted correlation coefficients using entropy weights is proposed under intuitionistic fuzzy environment for some situations where the information about criteria weights for alternatives is completely unknown. To determine the entropy weights with respect to a set of criteria represented by intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs), we establish an entropy weight model, which can be used to get the criteria weights, and then propose an evaluation formula of weighted correlation coefficient between an alternative and the ideal alternative. The alternatives can be ranked and the most desirable one(s) can be selected according to the weighted correlation coefficients. Finally, two illustrative examples demonstrate the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Aggregating crisp values into intuitionistic fuzzy number for group decision making

This paper presents a multiple attribute group decision making model based on aggregating crisp values into intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. First, each alternative is evaluated with respect to their attributes, whose values are provided by decision maker as crisp numbers. Second, to make a reasonable normalization of attribute values in the group decision making environment, a maximum grade and a minimum grade are added to the attribute values. These normalized attribute values are then aggregated (per attribute) into an induced intuitionistic fuzzy number. Each alternative is then evaluated according to the induced intuitionistic fuzzy number. To show the major technical advances in this paper, comparisons with other methods are also made. Finally, an experimental analysis for supplier selection is given to illustrate the reasonableness and efficiency of the introduced method.     

Some similarity measures of intuitionistic fuzzy sets and their applications to multiple attribute decision making

Atanassov (1986) defined the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy set, which is a generalization of the notion of Zadeh’ fuzzy set. In this paper, we first develop some similarity measures of intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Then, we define the notions of positive ideal intuitionistic fuzzy set and negative ideal intuitionistic fuzzy set. Finally, we apply the similarity measures to multiple attribute decision making under intuitionistic fuzzy environment.     

Intuitionistic Fuzzy Logic Control for Heater Fans

The concept of intuitionistic fuzzy systems, including intuitionistic fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy logic, was introduced by Atanassov as a generalization of fuzzy systems. Intuitionistic fuzzy systems provide a mechanism for communication between computing systems and humans. In this paper, we describe the development of an intuitionistic fuzzy logic controller for heater fans, developed on the basis of intuitionistic fuzzy systems. Intuitionistic fuzzy inference systems and defuzzification techniques are used to obtain crisp output (i.e., speed of the heater fan) from an intuitionistic fuzzy input (i.e., ambient temperature). The speed of the heater fan is calculated using intuitionistic fuzzy rules applied in an inference engine using defuzzification methods.     

Extension of the LINMAP for multiattribute decision making under Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy environment

The aim of this article is further extending the linear programming techniques for multidimensional analysis of preference (LINMAP) to develop a new methodology for solving multiattribute decision making (MADM) problems under Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) environments. The LINMAP only can deal with MADM problems in crisp environments. However, fuzziness is inherent in decision data and decision making processes. In this methodology, Atanassov’s IF sets are used to describe fuzziness in decision information and decision making processes by means of an Atanassov’s IF decision matrix. A Euclidean distance is proposed to measure the difference between Atanassov’s IF sets. Consistency and inconsistency indices are defined on the basis of preferences between alternatives given by the decision maker. Each alternative is assessed on the basis of its distance to an Atanassov’s IF positive ideal solution (IFPIS) which is unknown a prior. The Atanassov’s IFPIS and the weights of attributes are then estimated using a new linear programming model based upon the consistency and inconsistency indices defined. Finally, the distance of each alternative to the Atanassov’s IFPIS can be calculated to determine the ranking order of all alternatives. A numerical example is examined to demonstrate the implementation process of this methodology. Also it has been proved that the methodology proposed in this article can deal with MADM problems under not only Atanassov’s IF environments but also both fuzzy and crisp environments.     

Multicriteria fuzzy decision-making method using entropy weights-based correlation coefficients of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets

A multicriteria fuzzy decision-making method based on weighted correlation coefficients using entropy weights is proposed under interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environment for the some situations where the information about criteria weights for alternatives is completely unknown. To determine the entropy weights with respect to a decision matrix provided as interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs), we propose two entropy measures for IVIFSs and establish an entropy weight model, which can be used to determine the criteria weights on alternatives, and then propose an evaluation formula of weighted correlation coefficient between an alternative and the ideal alternative. The alternatives can be ranked and the most desirable one(s) can be selected according to the values of the weighted correlation coefficients. Finally, two applied examples demonstrate the applicability and benefit of the proposed method: it is capable for handling the multicriteria fuzzy decision-making problems with completely unknown weights for criteria.     

A rough set approach to intuitionistic fuzzy soft set based decision making

The soft set theory, originally proposed by Molodtsov, can be used as a general mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainty. Since its appearance, there has been some progress concerning practical applications of soft set theory, especially the use of soft sets in decision making. The intuitionistic fuzzy soft set is a combination of an intuitionistic fuzzy set and a soft set. The rough set theory is a powerful tool for dealing with uncertainty, granuality and incompleteness of knowledge in information systems. Using rough set theory, this paper proposes a novel approach to intuitionistic fuzzy soft set based decision making problems. Firstly, by employing an intuitionistic fuzzy relation and a threshold value pair, we define a new rough set model and examine some fundamental properties of this rough set model. Then the concepts of approximate precision and rough degree are given and some basic properties are discussed. Furthermore, we investigate the relationship between intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets and intuitionistic fuzzy relations and present a rough set approach to intuitionistic fuzzy soft set based decision making. Finally, an illustrative example is employed to show the validity of this rough set approach in intuitionistic fuzzy soft set based decision making problems.     

Correlation coefficient of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets and its application to multiple attribute group decision making problems

In this paper, we investigate the group decision making problems in which all the information provided by the decision-makers is presented as interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy decision matrices where each of the elements is characterized by interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy number (IVIFN), and the information about attribute weights is partially known. First, we use the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid geometric (IIFHG) operator to aggregate all individual interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy decision matrices provided by the decision-makers into the collective interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy decision matrix, and then we use the score function to calculate the score of each attribute value and construct the score matrix of the collective interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy decision matrix. From the score matrix and the given attribute weight information, we establish an optimization model to determine the weights of attributes, and then we use the obtained attribute weights and the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy weighted geometric (IIFWG) operator to fuse the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy information in the collective interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy decision matrix to get the overall interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy values of alternatives, and then rank the alternatives according to the correlation coefficients between IVIFNs and select the most desirable one(s). Finally, a numerical example is used to illustrate the applicability of the proposed approach.     

Maximal- and minimal symmetric solutions of fully fuzzy linear systems

In this paper, we shall propose a new method to obtain symmetric solutions of a fully fuzzy linear system (FFLS) based on a 1-cut expansion. To this end, we solve the 1-cut of a FFLS (in the present paper, we assumed that the 1-cut of a FFLS is a crisp linear system or equivalently, the matrix coefficient and right hand side have triangular shapes), then some unknown symmetric spreads are allocated to each row of a 1-cut of a FFLS. So, after some manipulations, the original FFLS is transformed to solving 2n linear equations to find the symmetric spreads. However, our method always give us a fuzzy number vector solution. Moreover, using the proposed method leads to determining the maximal- and minimal symmetric solutions of the FFLS which are placed in a Tolerable Solution Set and a Controllable Solution Set, respectively. However, the obtained solutions could be interpreted as bounded symmetric solutions of the FFLS which are useful for a large number of multiplications existing between two fuzzy numbers. Finally, some numerical examples are given to illustrate the ability of the proposed method.     

On uniqueness of （fuzzy） relation in some generalized rough set model

In rough set theory, crisp and/or fuzzy binary relations play an important role in both constructive and axiomatic considerations of various generalized rough sets. This paper considers the uniqueness problem of the （fuzzy） relation in some generalized rough set model. Our results show that by using the axiomatic approach, the （fuzzy） relation determined by （fuzzy） approximation operators is unique in some （fuzzy） double-universe model.     

Multicriteria decision-making method using the Dice similarity measure based on the reduct intuitionistic fuzzy sets of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets

This paper proposes the concept of the reduct intuitionistic fuzzy sets of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) with respect to adjustable weight vectors and the Dice similarity measure based on the reduct intuitionistic fuzzy sets to explore the effects of optimism, neutralism, and pessimism in decision making. Then a decision-making method with the pessimistic, optimistic, and neutral schemes desired by the decision maker is established by combining adjustable weight vectors and the Dice similarity measure for IVIFSs. The proposed decision-making method is more flexible and adjustable in practical problems and can determine the ranking order of alternatives and the optimal one(s), so that it can overcome the difficulty of the ranking order and decision making when there exist the same measure values of some alternatives in some cases. This adjustable feature can provide the decision maker with more selecting schemes and actionable results for the decision-making analysis. Finally, two illustrative examples are employed to show the feasibility of the proposed method in practical applications.
