• Define Choquet integral based intuitionistic fuzzy arithmetic aggregation operator. • Combine the defined operator with ordered weighted aggregation operator. • Propose a decision-making method based on the combined operator. Intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS), a classical extension of fuzzy set, is a powerful tool to describe fuzzy information in multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) because of its membership and non-membership functions. Intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operators are the standard mathematical tools for the combination of several inputs with respect to criteria into one unique output. The traditional intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operator-based methods have been criticized because of reasons that include disregard for comprehensive correlative relationships of criteria and ignorance for combination of fuzzy measures of criteria and weights of positions. In this paper, the effectiveness of traditional aggregation operator-based MCDM techniques is improved by a novel method to select the best alternative(s) under the intuitionistic fuzzy environment. We begin by defining the Choquet integral-based intuitionistic fuzzy arithmetic aggregation (CIIFAA) operator, the remarkable properties of which are proved in details. Further, the Choquet integral based intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid arithmetic aggregation (CIIFHAA) operator is defined as well as the proofs of its properties. The CIIFHAA operator can not only capture the comprehensive correlative relationships of criteria in a simpler manner, but also combine the weights of positions. Then, we put forward a MCDM method based on CIIFHAA operator with intuitionistic fuzzy evaluations. An illustrative example is solved, the best alternative and the ranking of alternatives are obtained, which can verify the feasibility of the proposed method. Finally, two comparisons are conducted to illustrate the stability and advantages of the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
