2. Intuitionistic Fuzzy sets
An intuitionistic fuzzy set(IFS) A on a universe X is
defined as an object of the following form
A={(x, μA(x), νA(x))| x X}
where
0 ≤ μA(x) + νA(x) ≤ 1
is called intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) and functions
μA : X→ [0, 1] and νA : X → [0, 1] represent the
degree of membership and the degree of non-
membership respectively.
is called degree of hesitation.

7. Example using Score function method
Objective
- To select best air-condition system
Criteria
- Economical, Function, Operative
with weight vector W=(0.3,0.3,0.4)
Alternatives
- A, B and C

8. Applying Score function method to example
Step1- We provide intuitionistic values for each
criteria and construct the intutionistic group multi-
criteria decision matrix as follows

9. Applying Score function method to example
Step2-Using intuitionistic fuzzy arithmetic averaging
operator to aggregate all over all the criteria.

Step5- Rank all the alternatives A, B,C and select the
best one in accordance with the values of
Score function .
Now,
Therefore
Hence A > B > C A is best.
