Extension of the VIKOR method to dynamic intuitionistic fuzzy multiple attribute decision making

In this paper, we extend the VIKOR method for dynamic intuitionistic fuzzy multiple attribute decision making (DIF-MADM). Two new aggregation operators called dynamic intuitionistic fuzzy weighted geometric (DIFWG) operator and uncertain dynamic intuitionistic fuzzy weighted geometric (UDIFWG) operator are presented. Based on the DIFWA and UDIFWA operators respectively, we develop two procedures to solve the DIF-MADM problems where all attribute values are expressed in intuitionistic fuzzy numbers or interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, which are collected at different periods. Finally, a numerical example is used to illustrate the applicability of the proposed approach.     

Some geometric aggregation operators based on intuitionistic fuzzy sets

The weighted geometric (WG) operator and the ordered weighted geometric (OWG) operator are two common aggregation operators in the field of information fusion. But these two aggregation operators are usually used in situations where the given arguments are expressed as crisp numbers or linguistic values. In this paper, we develop some new geometric aggregation operators, such as the intuitionistic fuzzy weighted geometric (IFWG) operator, the intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted geometric (IFOWG) operator, and the intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid geometric (IFHG) operator, which extend the WG and OWG operators to accommodate the environment in which the given arguments are intuitionistic fuzzy sets which are characterized by a membership function and a non-membership function. Some numerical examples are given to illustrate the developed operators. Finally, we give an application of the IFHG operator to multiple attribute decision making based on intuitionistic fuzzy sets.     

Study on the ranking problems in multiple attribute decision making based on interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers

This paper puts forward a new ranking method for multiple attribute decision‐making problems based on interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy set (IIFS) theory. First, the composed ordered weighted arithmetic averaging operator and composed ordered weighted geometric averaging operator are extended to the IIFSs in which they are, respectively, named interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy composed ordered weighted arithmetic averaging (IIFCOWA) operator and interval‐valued intuitionistic composed ordered weighted geometric averaging (IIFCOWG) operator. Afterwards, to compare interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, we define the concepts of the maximum, the minimum, and ranking function. Some properties associated with the concepts are investigated. Using the IIFCOWA or IIFCOWG operator, we establish the detailed steps of ranking alternatives (or attributes) in multiple attribute decision making. Finally, an illustrative example is provided to show that the proposed ranking method is feasible in multiple attribute decision making.     

INTUITIONISTIC UNCERTAIN LINGUISTIC WEIGHTED BONFERRONI OWA OPERATOR AND ITS APPLICATION TO MULTIPLE ATTRIBUTE DECISION MAKING

With respect to multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems, in which attribute values take the form of intuitionistic uncertain linguistic information, a new decision-making method based on the intuitionistic uncertain linguistic weighted Bonferroni OWA operator is developed. First, the score function, accuracy function, and comparative method of the intuitionistic uncertain linguistic numbers are introduced. Then, an intuitionistic uncertain linguistic Bonferroni OWA (IULBOWA) operator and an intuitionistic uncertain linguistic weighted Bonferroni OWA (IULWBOWA) operator are developed. Furthermore, some properties of the IULBOWA and IULWBOWA operators, such as commutativity, idempotency, monotonicity, and boundedness, are discussed. At the same time, some special cases of these operators are analyzed. Based on the IULWBOWA operator, the multiple attribute decision-making method with intuitionistic uncertain linguistic information is proposed. Finally, an illustrative example is given to illustrate the decision-making steps and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.     

Intuitionistic Fuzzy Interval‐Valued Linguistic Entropic Combined Weighted Averaging Operator for Linguistic Group Decision Making

Entropy, a basic concept of measuring the amount of information and the degree of confusion, has been applied in many weighted averaging operators in the linguistic group decision making. In the paper, we construct an intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic entropy based on the intuitionistic fuzzy entropy and the intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic variable. Then, inspired by operations of concentration and dilation (De SK, Biswas R, and Roy AR, Fuzzy Sets Syst. 2000;114(3):477?484), we extend the intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic entropy to the intuitionistic fuzzy interval‐valued linguistic entropy. After that, the intuitionistic fuzzy interval‐valued linguistic entropic combined weighted averaging (IFIVLECWA) operator is proposed for multiple attribute linguistic group decision making. Finally, a numerical example about the selection of optimal alternative(s) is presented to illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Some induced geometric aggregation operators with intuitionistic fuzzy information and their application to group decision making

With respect to multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems in which both the attribute weights and the expert weights take the form of real numbers, attribute values take the form of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers or interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, some new group decision making analysis methods are developed. Firstly, some operational laws, score function and accuracy function of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers or interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are introduced. Then two new aggregation operators: induced intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted geometric (I-IFOWG) operator and induced interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted geometric (I-IIFOWG) operator are proposed, and some desirable properties of the I-IFOWG and I-IIFOWG operators are studied, such as commutativity, idempotency and monotonicity. An I-IFOWG and IFWG (intuitionistic fuzzy weighted geometric) operators-based approach is developed to solve the MAGDM problems in which both the attribute weights and the expert weights take the form of real numbers, attribute values take the form of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. Further, we extend the developed models and procedures based on I-IIFOWG and IIFWG (interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy weighted geometric) operators to solve the MAGDM problems in which both the attribute weights and the expert weights take the form of real numbers, attribute values take the form of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. Finally, some illustrative examples are given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.

In this paper, we present the induced generalized intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (I-GIFOWA) operator. It is a new aggregation operator that generalized the IFOWA operator, including all the characteristics of both the generalized IFOWA and the induced IFOWA operators. It provides a very general formulation that includes as special cases a wide range of aggregation operators for intuitionistic fuzzy information, including all the particular cases of the I-IFOWA operator, GIFOWA operator and the induced intuitionistic fuzzy ordered geometric (I-IFOWG) operator. We also present the induced generalized interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (I-GIIFOWA) operator to accommodate the environment in which the given arguments are interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Further, we develop procedures to apply them to solve group multiple attribute decision making problems with intuitionistic fuzzy or interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy information. Finally, we present their application to show the effectiveness of the developed methods.     

A Novel Approach for Linguistic Group Decision Making Based on Generalized Interval‐Valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Linguistic Induced Hybrid Operator and TOPSIS

In the multiple attribute linguistic group decision making analysis with interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic information, seeking highly efficient aggregation method and order relation play a crucial role. In this paper, we redefine an interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic variable that considers principal component and propose generalized interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic induced hybrid aggregation (GIVIFLIHA) operator with entropic order‐inducing variable and interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) order relation based on interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic distance measure. Then, some primary properties of the GIVIFLIHA operator are discussed, and a linguistic group decision‐making approach based on GIVIFLIHA operator and interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic TOPSIS order relation is proposed. Finally, a numerical example concerning the investment strategy is given to illustrate the validity and applicability of the proposed method, and then the method is compared with the existing method to further illustrate its flexibility.
