This study is inspired by those of Huang et al. (Soft Comput. 25, 2513--2520, 2021) and Wang et al. (Inf. Sci. 179, 3026--3040, 2009) in which some ranking techniques for interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IVIFNs) were introduced. In this study, we prove that the space of all IVIFNs with the relation in the method for comparing any two IVIFNs based on a score function and three types of entropy functions is a complete chain and obtain that this relation is an admissible order. Moreover, we demonstrate that IVIFNs are complete chains to the relation in the comparison method for IVIFNs on the basis of score, accuracy, membership uncertainty index, and hesitation uncertainty index functions.

We prove that the space of intuitionistic fuzzy values (IFVs) with a linear order based on a score function and an accuracy function has the same algebraic structure as the one induced by a linear order based on a similarity function and an accuracy function. By introducing a new operator for IFVs via the linear order based on a score function and an accuracy function, we show that such an operator is a strong negation on IFVs. Moreover, we observe that the space of IFVs is a complete lattice and a Kleene algebra with the new operator. We also demonstrate that the topological space of IFVs with the order topology induced by the above two linear orders is not separable and metrizable but compact and connected. From some new perspectives,our results partially answer three open problems posed by Atanassov [Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets: Theory and Applications, Springer, 1999] and [On Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets Theory, Springer, 2012]. Furthermore, we construct an isomorphism between the spaces of IFVs and q-rung orthopedic fuzzy values (q-ROFVs) under the corresponding linear orders. To this end, we introduce the concept of admissible similarity measures with particular orders for IFSs, extending the existing definition of the similarity measure for IFSs, and construct an admissible similarity measure with a linear order based on a score function and an accuracy function, which is effectively applied to a pattern recognition problem about the classification of building materials.
