		<Abstract>In the process of decision making, the necessity of aggregation of input arguments into a single output&lt;br /&gt;becomes a key step and as a result selection of an appropriate aggregation operator is a vital aspect. The&lt;br /&gt;aim of this contribution is threefold. First, we study algebraic operations of trapezoidal intuitionistic&lt;br /&gt;fuzzy numbers (TrIFNs) and then on the basis of these operational laws, we dene four types of harmonic&lt;br /&gt;mean operators with TrIFNs. Second, the required properties of the proposed operators are reviewed.&lt;br /&gt;After that, an approach based on the proposed operators is introduced to solve a group decision making&lt;br /&gt;problem. Finally, a practical example is furnished to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed&lt;br /&gt;operators in the decision making context. The contribution ends by introducing comparative analysis on&lt;br /&gt;the obtained results.</Abstract>
