Abstract: This paper introduces a ranking function procedure on a bi-level programming for Stackelberg game involving intuitionistic fuzzy parameters. Intuitionistic fuzzy number is considered in many real-life situations, so it makes perfect sense to address decision-making problem by using some specified intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. In this paper, intuitionistic fuzziness is characterized by a normal generalized triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number. A defuzzification method is introduced based on the proportional probability density function associated with the corresponding membership function, as well as the complement of non-membership function. Using the proposed ranking technique, a methodology is presented for solving bi-level programming for Stackelberg game. An application example is provided to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed methodology, and the achieved results are compared with the existing methods.
