5. Doubt Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy Sub-implicative ideals in -algebras

Tripti Bej, Madhumangal Pal
Pages: 240 - 249
The notions of doubt Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy sub-implicative ideals and doubt Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy -ideals of -algebras are introduced. We show that an Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy subset of -algebras is an Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy sub-implicative ideal if and only if...

6. Pure linguistic PROMETHEE I and II methods for heterogeneous MCGDM problems

M. Espinilla, N. Halouani, H. Chabchoub
Pages: 250 - 264
The PROMETHEE methods basic principle is focused on a pairwise comparison of alternatives for each criterion, selecting a preference function type that often requires parameters in order to obtain a preference value. When a MCGDM problem is defined in an heterogeneous context, an adequate and common...
