## Abstract

In this paper a revised Intuitionistic Fuzzy Max-Min Average Composition Method is proposed to construct the decision method for the selection of the professional students based on their skills by the recruiters using the operations of Intuitionistic Fuzzy Soft Matrices. In Shanmugasundaram et al. (2014), Intuitionistic Fuzzy Max-Min Average Composition Method was introduced and applied in Medical diagnosis problem. Sanchez’s approach (Sanchez (1979)) for decision making is studied and the concept is modified for the application of Intuitionistic fuzzy soft set theory. Through a survey, the opportunities and selection of the students with the help of Intuitionistic fuzzy soft matrix operations along with Intuitionistic fuzzy max-min average composition method is discussed.

## 1. Introduction

Soft set theory was initiated by the Russian researcher Molodtsov [1]; he proposed soft set as a completely generic mathematical tool for modeling uncertainties. Maji et al. [2, 3] applied this theory to several directions for dealing with the problems in uncertainty and imprecision. Pei and Miao [4] and Chen et al. [5] improved the work of Maji et al. [3]. Yang and Ji [6] initiated a matrix representation of a fuzzy soft set and applied it in decision making problems. Borah et al. [7] and Neog and Sut [8] extended fuzzy soft matrix theory and its application. Chetia and Das [9–11] proposed intuitionistic fuzzy soft matrix theory. Rajarajeswari and Dhanalakshmi [12–14] proposed new definitions for intuitionistic fuzzy soft matrices.In real life most of the existing mathematical tools for formal modeling, reasoning, and computing are crisp, deterministic, and precise in nature. The classical crisp mathematical tools are not capable of dealing with the problems involving uncertainty and imprecision. There are many mathematical tools available for modeling complex systems such as probability theory, fuzzy set theory, and interval mathematics. Probability theory is applicable only for a stochastically stable system. Interval mathematics is not sufficiently adaptable for problems withdifferent uncertainties. Setting the membership function value is always a problem in fuzzy set theory. Intuitionistic fuzzy soft set theory (IFSS) may be more applicable to deal with uncertainty and imprecision; the parameterization tool using fuzzy soft set theory enhances the flexibility of its applications. Initially, intuitionistic fuzzy max-min average composition method is used.In this paper, a new approach is proposed to construct the decision method for student selection using intuitionistic fuzzy soft matrices. In order to make this, addition, subtraction, and the complement of an intuitionistic fuzzy soft matrix (IFSM) are applied. The result is obtained based on the maximum value in the score matrix. An attempt has been made to provide a formal model of the process to study the selection of professional students by using IFSM theory and implement it in the form of field recommendation system. This is the system by which the recruiters use their knowledge to infer the selection from the skills displayed by the test results of the students and based on their selection criteria. A new technique called intuitionistic fuzzy revised max-min average composition method is proposed. Through a case study, it is seen that the proposed method produces better results than the existing max-min composition method [15, 16].


## 2. Preliminaries

The basic definitions of intuitionistic fuzzy soft set theory that are useful for subsequent discussions are given.Definition 1 (see [1]).
Suppose thatU is the universe of discourse and E is a set of parameters; let P
(
U
) denote the power set of U. A pair (
F
,
E
) is called a soft set over U, where F is a mapping given by F: E
→
P
(
U
). Clearly, a soft set is a mapping from parameters to P
(
U
), and it is not a set, but a parameterized family of subsets of the universe of discourse.Definition 2 (see [1, 2]).
LetU be the universe of discourse and let E be the set of parameters. Let A
⊆
E. A pair (
F
,
A
) is called fuzzy soft set over U, where F is a mapping given by F: A
→
I
U and I
U denotes the collection of all fuzzy subsets of U.Definition 3 (see [1, 2]).
LetU be a universal set, E a set of parameters, and A
⊂
E. Let F
(
U
) denote the set of all fuzzy subsets of U. A fuzzy soft set (
f
A
,
E
) on the universe U is defined as the set of ordered pairs (f
A
,
E
)
=
{
(
e
,
(
f
A
(
e
)
)
:
e
∈
E
,
f
A
(
e
)
∈
F
(
U
)
}, where f
A
:
E
→
F
(
U
). Here, f
A is called an approximate function of the fuzzy soft set (
f
A
,
E
). The set f
A
(
e
) is called e approximate value set or e-approximate set which consists of related objects of the parameter e
∈
E.Definition 4 (see [3]).
LetU be an initial universe set and let E be the set of parameters. Let IF
U denote the collection of all intuitionistic fuzzy subsets of U. Let A
⊂
E. A pair (
F
;
A
) is called an intuitionistic fuzzy soft set over U, where F is a mapping given by F
:
A
→
IF
U.Definition 5 (see [12]).
LetU
=
{
c
1
,
c
2
,
c
3
,
…
,
c
m
} be the universal set and let E
=
{
e
1
,
e
2
,
e
3
,
…
,
e
n
} be the set of parameters. Let A
⊆
E and let (
F
,
A
) be a fuzzy soft set in the fuzzy soft class (
U
,
E
). Then fuzzy soft set (
F
,
A
) is a matrix form as A
m

n
=
[
a

]

=

j
(

)
)
if
e
j
∈
A
(
0,1
)
if
e
j
∉
A
.
μ
j
(
c
i
) represents the membership of c
i in the intuitionistic fuzzy set F
(
e
j
).
ν
j
(
c
i
) represents the nonmembership of c
i in the intuitionistic fuzzy set F
(
e
j
).Example 6 (see [14]).
Suppose thatU

{
P

P

P

} is a set of students and E
=
{
S
1
,
S
2
,
S
3
,
S
4
} is a set of parameters, which stand for results, technical skills, analytical skills, presentation skills, and communication skills, respectively. Consider the mapping from parameters set to the set of all intuitionistic fuzzy subsets of power set U. Then intuitionistic fuzzy soft set (
F
,
A
) describes the skills of the students with respect to the given parameters, for finding the best student of an academic year. Consider A

## 5. Conclusions

Compared with conventional techniques, the proposed approach in decision making effectively reduces the conflict in making decisions. For example, the maximum score in the second row of the score matrixS
max-min is 0.40 which corresponds to more than one opportunity and there arises a conflict in making decision whereas it is not the case in the proposed method. Also, our approach makes it possible to introduce weights for all skills and reduces the confusion about the possibility of two opportunities in a student and also the proposed method is an effective tool for the decision making problems. In the future many decision making problems involving three or more sets of relation can be effectively modeled using our approach.
