Introduction
Among several generalizations of fuzzy set theory [1] is the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs). In the 1980s Atanassov generalized fuzzy sets by introducing the idea of intuitionistic fuzzy sets [2][3][4]. Further improvements of IFS theory [5] include the exploration of intuitionistic fuzzy geometry, intuitionistic fuzzy logic, intuitionistic fuzzy topology, an intuitionistic fuzzy approach to artificial intelligence, and intuitionistic fuzzy generalized nets may be found in [6][7][8]. The concept of intuitionistic fuzzy differential equations was first introduced by S. Melliani and L. S. Chadli [9]. The first step, which included using applicable definitions of intuitionistic fuzzy derivative and the intuitionistic fuzzy integral, was followed by introducing intuitionistic fuzzy differential equations and establishing sufficient conditions for the existence of unique solutions to these equations [10][11][12]. The study of numerical methods for solving intuitionistic fuzzy differential equations has been rapidly growing in recent years. It is difficult to obtain exact solutions for intuitionistic fuzzy DEs, and hence some numerical methods presented in [13][14][15][16][17].
Differential equations (DEs) with state-dependent delays, known as functional, are used to model a large number of natural or physical phenomena. There exists extensive literature dealing with functional DEs and their applications, and for this reason the study of such equations has received great attention in recent years. The literature related to partial functional differential equations with state-dependent delay is limited, but these equations provide more realistic models for various phenomena, and they have various applications in applied fields such as blood flow problems, chemical engineering, thermoelasticity, underground water flow, and population dynamics. There is still a lack of qualitative and quantitative researches for fuzzy partial differential equations (PDEs), which were first introduced by Buckley and Feuring [18] in 1999. The available theoretical results obtained up to now for such equations may be found in [19][20][21]. The papers [22][23][24] considered the existence and uniqueness of fuzzy solutions for some fuzzy functional partial differential equations with different types of initial conditions for some classes of hyperbolic equations; almost all of the previous results were based on the Banach fixed point theorem. However, rarely have we seen such results for intuitionistic fuzzy partial functional differential equations (PDEs), since the first and only publication on intuitionistic fuzzy partial differential equations was [25]. To the best of our knowledge, we are for the first time employing intuitionistic fuzzy mathematics to 2 International Journal of Differential Equations partial functional differential equations by using the Banach fixed point theorem.
Motivated and inspired by the above works, in this paper a new complete intuitionistic fuzzy metric space [7] is proposed to investigate the existence and uniqueness of intuitionistic fuzzy solutions by using the Banach fixed point theorem for the following intuitionistic fuzzy partial functional differential equations with local and nonlocal conditions: where Also we propose a method of steps which can be useful to solve intuitionistic fuzzy partial functional differential equations.
The main contributions of this paper include introducing intuitionistic fuzzy partial functional differential equations with local and nonlocal conditions and defining their solution; further developing theoretical results on the existence and uniqueness of the solution; using the level-set representation of intuitionistic fuzzy functions and defining the solution to an intuitionistic fuzzy partial functional differential equations problem through a corresponding parametric problem; and developing numerical examples for computing intuitionistic fuzzy quantities, taking into account the full interaction between intuitionistic fuzzy variables. The development of some efficient examples for solving intuitionistic fuzzy partial functional differential equations is the subject of our further work and will be presented elsewhere.
The remainder of the paper is arranged as follows. In Section 2, we give some basic preliminaries which will be used throughout this paper. In Sections 3 and 4 we discuss intuitionistic fuzzy partial functional differential equations with local and nonlocal conditions. Under suitable conditions we prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution to intuitionistic fuzzy PFDEs. In Section 5 we propose a method of steps to solve Section 6 to illustrate these results with some numerical simulation for -cuts of the intuitionistic fuzzy solutions, and finally some conclusions and future works are discussed in Section 7.

Conclusion
This paper investigates the existence and uniqueness of intuitionistic fuzzy solutions for partial functional differential equations with local and nonlocal conditions. We have achieved these goals by using the Banach fixed point theorem. As far as we know, the deterministic class of partial functional differential equations was well studied by many authors but this is the first paper that addresses intuitionistic fuzzy cases. We have used the level-set representation of intuitionistic fuzzy functions and have defined the solution to an intuitionistic fuzzy partial functional differential equation problem through a corresponding parametric problem and further develop theoretical results on the existence and uniqueness of the solution. These results are illustrated by a computational example. For our future research, we will develop the proposed approach for studying different types of intuitionistic fuzzy partial differential equations in an ordered generalized metric space [7] with the use of fixed
