description Decision making under uncertainty describes situations that consider a profound lack of knowledge, where the functional form is completely unknown, and often, the relevant input and output variables are unknown as well. Data, being the vital input of decision making, contain a dissimilar level of imprecision that necessitates different approaches for making a proper and legitimate decision. In this article, we propose the concept of the intuitionistic type-2 fuzzy set (IT2FS). Several arithmetic operations on IT2FS such as union, intersection, complement, containment, etc., are defined, and the related algebraic properties of IT2FS are also studied. Subsequently, we define two new operators, namely the necessity operator and the possibility operator, to convert an IT2FS into an ordinary T2FS, and then discuss some of their basic properties. Moreover, in this study, two distance measures, the Hamming distance and Euclidian distance of IT2FS, are proposed, and their applications are illustrated with an example.
