Abstract

The Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets (IFSs) are generalizations of Zadeh’s fuzzy sets, in which the elements of the universe have apart from Zadeh’s membership and the degree of non-membership in [0, 1]. This paper studies applications of intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets (FS) to assessment and multi-criteria decision making, which are very useful when uncertainty characterizes the grades or parameters respectively assigned to the elements of the universal set. Applications to everyday life situations are also presented illustrating our results.
