New operations on cubic intuitionistic fuzzy sets under P–order by Priyadharshini Manoharan, Jayanthi Duraisamy, Saranya Manoharan

“…The aim is to define operators on cubic intuitionistic fuzzy sets that are capable of more effectively handling uncertain or imprecise information contained in image data. In this piece of work, few operators on the cubic intuitionistic fuzzy sets under P – order, such as arithmetic mean (@), geometric mean ($), multiplication operator (*), ‘#’ and necessity (□) and possibility (◇) operations on the cubic intuitionistic fuzzy sets under P – order, are defined. …”
