Interval‐valued Pythagorean fuzzy GRA method for multiple‐attribute decision making with incomplete weight information

In this paper, the concept of multiple‐attribute group decision‐making (MAGDM) problems with interval‐valued Pythagorean fuzzy information is developed, in which the attribute values are interval‐valued Pythagorean fuzzy numbers and the information about the attribute weight is incomplete. Since the concept of interval‐valued Pythagorean fuzzy sets is the generalization of interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy set. Thus, due the this motivation in this paper, the concept of interval‐valued Pythagorean fuzzy Choquet integral average (IVPFCIA) operator is introduced by generalizing the concept of interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy Choquet integral average operator. To illustrate the developed operator, a numerical example is also investigated. Extended the concept of traditional GRA method, a new extension of GRA method based on interval‐valued Pythagorean fuzzy information is introduced. First, utilize IVPFCIA operator to aggregate all the interval‐valued Pythagorean fuzzy decision matrices. Then, an optimization model based on the basic ideal of traditional grey relational analysis (GRA) method is established, to get the weight vector of the attributes. Based on the traditional GRA method, calculation steps for solving interval‐valued Pythagorean fuzzy MAGDM problems with incompletely known weight information are given. The degree of grey relation between every alternative and positive‐ideal solution and negative‐ideal solution is calculated. To determine the ranking order of all alternatives, a relative relational degree is defined by calculating the degree of grey relation to both the positive‐ideal solution and negative ideal solution simultaneously. Finally, to illustrate the developed approach a numerical example is to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.     

Multiple attribute group decision-making methods with unknown weights in intuitionistic fuzzy setting and interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy setting

To better solve the corresponding multiple attribute group decision-making problem with unknown weights, multiple attribute group decision-making methods with completely unknown weights of decision-makers and incompletely known weights of attributes are proposed in intuitionistic fuzzy setting and interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy setting. In the group decision-making method, two weight models are proposed based on the score function to determine the weights of both experts and attributes from the intuitionistic fuzzy decision matrices and the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy decision matrices. Then, overall evaluation formulas of weighted scores for each alternative are introduced in the intuitionistic fuzzy setting and the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy setting to obtain the ranking order of alternatives and the most desirable one(s). Finally, two numerical examples demonstrate the applicability and benefit of the proposed methods.

Linguistic hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy decision-making method based on VIKOR

Linguistic hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy set, which allows an element having several linguistic evaluation values and each linguistic argument having several intuitionistic fuzzy memberships, is a power tool to model uncertain information existing in multiple attribute decision-making problems. In this paper, we propose new methods by using TOPSIS and VIKOR for multiple attribute decision-making problems, in which evaluation values are in the form of linguistic hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy elements. Different situations of attribute weight information are considered. If attribute weights are partly known, a linear programming model is set up based on the idea that reasonable weights should make the relative closeness of each alternative evaluation value to the linguistic hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy positive ideal solution as large as possible. If attribute weights are unknown completely, an optimization model is set up based on the maximum deviation method. A numerical example is presented to illustrate feasibility and practical advantages of the proposed method. We compare the alternatives’ rankings derived from the linguistic hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS method with those derived from the hesitant fuzzy linguistic TOPSIS and the hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS approach to further illustrate their advantages.

     

Grey relational analysis method for 2-tuple linguistic multiple attribute group decision making with incomplete weight information

With respect to 2-tuple linguistic multiple attribute group decision making problems with incomplete weight information, some basic concepts and operational laws of 2-tuple linguistic variables are introduced. An optimization model based on the maximizing deviation method, by which the attribute weights can be determined, is established. According to the traditional ideas of grey relational analysis (GRA), the optimal alternative(s) is determined by calculating the linguistic degree of grey relation of every alternative and 2-tuple linguistic positive ideal solution and 2-tuple linguistic negative ideal solution. It is based on the concept that the optimal alternative should have the largest degree of grey relation from positive ideal solution and the smallest degree of grey relation from the negative ideal solution. The method has exact characteristic in linguistic information processing. It avoided information distortion and losing which occur formerly in the linguistic information processing. Finally, a numerical example is used to illustrate the use of the proposed method. The result shows the approach is simple, effective and easy to calculate.
