Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the trapezoidal intuitive fuzzy numbers and the approximation of the closest intervals to the membership and non-membership functions of the intuitive fuzzy number. Then, using a ranking process, we solve multi-criteria group decision problems in a trapezoidal intuitive fuzzy environment. Finally, an example is provided to get acquainted with the proposed method
