Multi-criteria decision-making methods based on intuitionistic fuzzy sets
In this paper we present new methods for solving multi-criteria decision-making problem in an intuitionistic fuzzy environment. First, we define an evaluation function for the decision-making problem to measure the degrees to which alternatives satisfy and do not satisfy the decision-makers requirement. Then, we introduce and discuss the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy point operators. By using the intuitionistic fuzzy point operators, we can reduce the degree of uncertainty of the elements in a universe corresponding to an intuitionistic fuzzy set. Furthermore, a series of new score functions are defined for multi-criteria decision-making problem based on the intuitionistic fuzzy point operators and the evaluation function and their effectiveness and advantage are illustrated by examples.
