Fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy arithmetic aggregation operators

A fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy set (FNIFS) is a generalization of intuitionistic fuzzy set. The fundamental characteristic of FNIFS is that the values of its membership function and non-membership function are trigonometric fuzzy numbers rather than exact numbers. In this paper, we define some operational laws of fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, and, based on these operational laws, develop some new arithmetic aggregation operators, such as the fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging (FIFWA) operator, the fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (FIFOWA) operator and the fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid aggregation (FIFHA) operator for aggregating fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy information. Furthermore, we give an application of the FIFHA operator to multiple attribute decision making based on fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy information. Finally, an illustrative example is given to verify the developed approach.
