Weight computation of criteria in a decision-making problem by knowledge measure with intuitionistic fuzzy set and interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set

The aim of this study is to propose an objective method for determining weights of criteria (also called attributes) based on a new measure of intuitionistic fuzzy information, called knowledge measure, in a real-world multi-criteria decision-making problem under intuitionistic fuzzy and interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environment. To address this issue, we first analyze the existing entropy measures and show that their use in objective weight determination process may lead us to produce unreliable weights of criteria by citing appropriate examples. Then we analyze important properties of knowledge measure of intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) and also define knowledge measure for interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set. Then a new method to determine the weights of criteria is developed on the basis of knowledge measure where information about criteria weights is completely unknown and partly known. A real-life example is presented to illustrate the proposed weight determination method and a comparative analysis is carried out to indicate the practicality and effectiveness of knowledge-based weight-generation method under both intuitionistic fuzzy and interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environment. Finally, we formulate the axioms for knowledge measure associated with IFSs and we also propose families (classes) of knowledge measures.

Developing dynamic intuitionistic normal fuzzy aggregation operators for multi-attribute decision-making with time sequence preference

In allusion to dynamic intuitionistic normal fuzzy multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) problems with unknown time weight, a MADM method based on dynamic intuitionistic normal fuzzy aggregation (DINFA) operators and VIKOR method with time sequence preference was presented. In this method, two information aggregating operators were first proposed and proved, including dynamic intuitionistic normal fuzzy weighted arithmetic average (DINFWAA) operator and dynamic intuitionistic normal fuzzy weighted geometric average (DINFWGA) operator. Meanwhile, we constructed a multi-target nonlinear programming model, which fused time degree theory that was based on subjective preference and information entropy principle based on objective preference, to obtain time weight. Based on which, according to the algorithm of intuitionistic normal fuzzy number, intuitionistic normal fuzzy information under different time sequences were aggregated by using the proposed DINFA operators, and formed a dynamic intuitionistic normal fuzzy comprehensive decision-making matrix; then, obtained the optimal solution that was the closest to ideal solution via VIKOR method. Finally, the feasibility and significance of the presented method over existing methods were verified via analysis of numerical examples.     

Intuitionistic fuzzy evidential power aggregation operator and its application in multiple criteria decision-making

The theory of intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFS) is widely used for dealing with vagueness and the Dempster--Shafer (D-S) evidence theory has a widespread use in multiple criteria decision-making problems under uncertain situation. However, there are many methods to aggregate intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFNs), but the aggregation operator to fuse basic probability assignment (BPA) is rare. Power average (P-A) operator, as a powerful operator, is useful and important in information fusion. Motivated by the idea of P-A power, in this paper, a new operator based on the IFS and D-S evidence theory is proposed, which is named as intuitionistic fuzzy evidential power average (IFEPA) aggregation operator. First, an IFN is converted into a BPA, and the uncertainty is measured in D-S evidence theory. Second, the difference between BPAs is measured by Jousselme distance and a satisfying support function is proposed to get the support degree between each other effectively. Then the IFEPA operator is used for aggregating the original IFN and make a more reasonable decision. The proposed method is objective and reasonable because it is completely driven by data once some parameters are required. At the same time, it is novel and interesting. Finally, an application of developed models to the ‘One Belt, One road’ investment decision-making problems is presented to illustrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed operator.     

The ELECTRE multicriteria analysis approach based on Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets

In recent decades, intuitionistic fuzzy sets have been applied to many different fields; however, few current studies have used the ELECTRE method to solve multi-criteria decision-making problems with intuitionistic fuzzy information. The purpose of this paper is to develop a new method, the intuitionistic fuzzy ELECTRE method, for solving multi-criteria decision-making problems. Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy set (A-IFS) characteristics are simultaneously concerned with the degree of membership, degree of non-membership, and intuitionistic index, and people can use A-IFS to describe uncertain situations in decision-making problems. We use the proposed method to rank all alternatives and determine the best alternative. The proposed method can also use imperfect or insufficient knowledge of data to deal with decision-making problems. Finally, two practical examples are given that illustrate the procedure of the proposed method.

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.

     

GRA method for multiple attribute decision making with incomplete weight information in intuitionistic fuzzy setting

The aim of this paper is to investigate the multiple attribute decision-making problems with intuitionistic fuzzy information, in which the information about attribute weights is incompletely known, and the attribute values take the form of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. In order to get the weight vector of the attribute, we establish an optimization model based on the basic ideal of traditional grey relational analysis (GRA) method, by which the attribute weights can be determined. Then, based on the traditional GRA method, calculation steps for solving intuitionistic fuzzy multiple attribute decision-making problems with incompletely known weight information are given. The degree of grey relation between every alternative and positive-ideal solution and negative-ideal solution are calculated. Then, a relative relational degree is defined to determine the ranking order of all alternatives by calculating the degree of grey relation to both the positive-ideal solution (PIS) and negative-ideal solution (NIS) simultaneously. Finally, an illustrative example is given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.     

A new preference scale mcdm method based on interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets and the analytic hierarchy process

The intuitionistic fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (IF-AHP), in which intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are utilized in defining decision makers’ linguistic judgment, has been used to solve various multi-criteria decision-making problems. Previous theories have suggested that interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IVIFN) with hesitation degree can act as alternative fuzzy numbers that can handle vagueness and uncertainty. This paper proposes a new preference scale in the framework of the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (IVIF-AHP). The comparison matrix judgment is expressed in IVIFN with degree of hesitation. The proposed new preference scale concurrently considers the membership function, the non-membership function and the degree of hesitation of IVIFN. To define the weight entropy of the aggregated matrix of IVIFN, a modified interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging is proposed, by considering the interval number of the hesitation degree. Three multi-criteria decision-making problems are used to test the proposed method. A comparison of the results is also presented to check the feasibility of the proposed method. It is shown that the ranking order of the proposed method is slightly different from that of the other two methods because of the inclusion of the hesitation degree in defining the preference scale.
