Total Ordering Defined on the set of all Intuitionistic Fuzzy Numbers

Abstract

L.A.Zadeh introduced the concept of fuzzy set theory as the generalization of classical set theory in 1965 and further it has been generalized to intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) by Atanassov in 1983 to model information by the membership, nonmembership and hesitancy degree more accurately than the theory of fuzzy logic. The notions of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers in different contexts were studied in literature and applied in real life applications. Problems in different fields involving qualitative, quantitative and uncertain information can be modeled better using intutionistic fuzzy numbers introduced in [17] which generalizes intuitionistic fuzzy values [1,7,17], interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy number (IVIFN) [10] than with usual IFNs [5,11,21]. Ranking of fuzzy numbers have started in early seventies in the last century and a complete ranking on the class of fuzzy numbers have achieved by W.Wang and Z.Wang only on 2014. A complete ranking on the class of IVIFNs, using axiomatic set of membership, non membership, vague and precise score functions has been introduced and studied by Geetha et al.[10]. In this paper, a total ordering on the class of IFNs [17] using double upper dense sequence in the interval [0; 1] which generalizes the total ordering on fuzzy numbers (FNs) is proposed and illustrated with examples. Examples are given to show the proposed method on this type of IFN is better than existing methods and this paper will give the better understanding over this new type of IFNs.

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
