In this paper, a new method for the solution of distribution problem in a fuzzy setting is presented. It consists of two phases. In the first of them, the problem is formulated as the classical, fully fuzzy transportation problem. A new, straightforward numerical method for solving this problem is proposed. This method is implemented using the alpha-cut approximation of fuzzy values and the probability approach to interval comparison. The method allows us to provide the straightforward fuzzy extension of a simplex method. It is important that the results are fuzzy values. To validate our approach, these results were compared with those obtained using the competing method and those we got using the Monte-Carlo method. In the second phase, the results obtained in the first one (the fuzzy profit) are used as the natural constraints on the parameters of multiobjective task. In our approach to the solution of distribution problem, the fuzzy local criteria based on the overall profit and contracts breaching risks are used. The particular local criteria are aggregated with the use of most popular aggregation modes. To obtain a compromise solution, the compromise general criterion is introduced, which is the aggregation of aggregating modes with the use of level-2 fuzzy sets. As the result, a new two phase method for solving the fuzzy, nonlinear, multiobjective distribution problem aggregating the fuzzy local criteria based on the overall profit and contracts breaching risks has been developed. Based on the comparison of the results obtained using our method with those obtained by competing one, and on the results of the sensitivity analysis, we can conclude that the method may be successfully used in applications. Numerical examples illustrate the proposed method.

Multiple-Criteria Fuzzy Optimization of the Heat Treatment Processes for Two Steel Rolled Products

Ludmila Dymova, Krzysztof Kaczmarek, Pavel Sevastjanov

Summary: This paper introduces a method for fuzzy multiple-criteria optimization of rolled-steel heat treatment processes, establishing regression dependencies between quality outputs and technological input parameters using statistical methods. Local criteria membership functions are formed based on quality parameters, and a practical methodology for optimizing technological processes is proposed. The efficiency of the optimal heat treatment modes obtained significantly exceeds that of earlier technologies used in the plant.

On the Neutrosophic, Pythagorean and Some Other Novel Fuzzy Sets Theories Used in Decision Making: Invitation to Discuss

Pavel Sevastjanov, Ludmila Dymova, Krzysztof Kaczmarek

Summary: In this paper, a critical analysis of Neutrosophic, Pythagorean, and other novel fuzzy sets theories is provided, revealing shortcomings and proposing alternative approaches for improvement. The author suggests extending intuitionistic fuzzy sets within the framework of the Dempster-Shafer theory to address the internal problems of Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy sets and enhance upon them.

Intuitionistic fuzzy rule-base evidential reasoning with application to the currency trading system on the Forex market

Krzysztof Kaczmarek, Ludmila Dymova, Pavel Sevastjanov

Summary: This paper presents the application of the intuitionistic fuzzy rule-base evidential reasoning (IFRBER) in developing a new optimized automated trading system (ATS) for the Forex market. The IFRBER approach represents intuitionistic fuzzy sets within the framework of the evidence theory, addressing the limitations of the IFS operational laws and improving overall performance. The study demonstrates that the IFRBER approach extracts more useful information for decision making compared to the usual fuzzy rule-base evidential reasoning. Based on the IFRBER approach, a new method for making justified buying and selling decisions is proposed, leading to the development of a highly profitable and low-risk optimized ATS.

An extension of rule base evidential reasoning in the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy setting applied to the type 2 diabetes diagnostic

Ludmila Dymova, Krzysztof Kaczmarek, Pavel Sevastjanov

Summary: The paper introduces a new method of rule base evidential reasoning based on interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy values, focusing on competing fuzzy categories and proposing a new mathematical object called belief interval bounded belief interval (BIBBI) for a more reliable representation of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy values.

A new approach to the comparison of real, interval and fuzzy-valued intuitionistic fuzzy and Belief-Plausibility numbers

Pavel Sevastjanov, Ludmila Dymova, Krzysztof Kaczmarek

Summary: Recently, a useful redefinition of the intuitionistic and interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set theories based on the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence was developed, named the Belief-Plausibility approach. This paper proposes a new approach to compare real, interval and fuzzy-valued intuitionistic fuzzy and BP numbers. The redefinition based on the BP approach allows for the development of new methods for comparison in the framework of the BP approach.

The New Definitions of Intuitionistic and Belief-Plausibility Based Local Criteria With Interval and Fuzzy Inputs Applied to the Multiple Criteria Problem of a Raw Material Supplier Selection

Pavel Sevastjanov, Ludmila Dymova, Krzysztof Kaczmarek

Summary: The problems of A-IFS and A-IVIFS theories were analyzed, and a new redefinition based on the Dempster-Shafer theory was developed, introducing a new concept called Belief-Plausibility number (BPN). The approach to processing interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy objects and their Belief-Plausibility redefinitions allowed for the introduction of a set of useful definitions that were not previously mentioned in the literature. The practical utility of the introduced Belief-Plausibility approach was illustrated through the solution of a real-world multiple criteria problem, showing visible advantages over the A-IFS based approach.

AN APPROACH TO GENERALIZATION OF THE INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY TOPSIS METHOD IN THE FRAMEWORK OF EVIDENCE THEORY

Ludmila Dymova, Krzysztof Kaczmarek, Pavel Sevastjanov, Lukasz Sulkowski, Krzysztof Przybyszewski

Summary: This study proposes a new approach to extend the application of the TOPSIS technique in the intuitionistic fuzzy environment by redefining the A-IFS theory in the framework of DST. The use of DST mathematical tools helps to avoid limitations of conventional Atanassov's operational laws and improve the quality of aggregating operators.
