Abstract

The interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set (IVIFS) generalizes Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy set (A-IFS) with the membership and non-membership degrees being intervals instead of real numbers, so it can contain more information. In this paper, we study the derivatives and differentials under interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environment. Firstly, we discuss the four change directions (the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division directions) of the interval- valued intuitionistic fuzzy values (IVIFVs); Secondly, we propose four kinds of limits (the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division limits) for different sequences of IVIFVs, and then we define the concepts of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy function (IVIFF) and study the continuities of IVIFFs; Thirdly, we develop two kinds of derivatives (the subtraction and division derivatives) of IVIFFs and give an equivalent condition for the existence of the derivative of an IVIFF. At last, we define the concepts of two kinds of differentials (the subtraction and division differentials) of IVIFFs and discuss the approximate computations of IVIFFs by the developed differentials.
