Abstract
Hesitant interval-valued fuzzy set is an extension of hesitant fuzzy set. It permits the membership degree of an element to a set to be represented as several possible interval numbers. The study of hesitant interval-valued fuzzy sets has opened a new area of research and applications. A number of mathematical results have been introduced and proved to enhance the applicability range of hesitant interval-valued fuzzy sets to wider areas. In this paper, we propose four new operations on hesitant interval valued fuzzy sets and study their properties and relations in details.
