A group decision-making model based on incomplete comparative expressions with hesitant linguistic terms

As a result of uncertainty and complexity for environments of decision-making, it is more suitable for decision makers to use hesitant fuzzy linguistic information. In this paper, a novel group decision making (GDM) model based on fuzzy linear programming is proposed for incomplete comparative expressions with hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (HFLTSs). We establish an equivalence theorem of additive consistency between 2-tuple fuzzy linguistic preference relation (FLPR) and corresponding fuzzy preference relation. Based on this framework, a fuzzy linear programming is established to address incomplete comparative expressions with HFLTSs. It is more important that the proposed fuzzy linear programming has a double action, finding the highest consistent incomplete 2-tuple FLPR and increasing inconsistent 2-tuple FLPR to the additive consistent 2-tuple FLPR based on given incomplete comparative expressions with HFLTSs. By this means, a novel GDM model is constructed based on importance induced ordered weighted averaging operator. Finally, an investment decision-making in real-world is solved by the proposed model, which shows the result of GDM is effectiveness.     

Consistency test and weight generation for additive interval fuzzy preference relations

Some simple yet pragmatic methods of consistency test are developed to check whether an interval fuzzy preference relation is consistent. Based on the definition of additive consistent fuzzy preference relations proposed by Tanino (Fuzzy Sets Syst 12:117–131, 1984), a study is carried out to examine the correspondence between the element and weight vector of a fuzzy preference relation. Then, a revised approach is proposed to obtain priority weights from a fuzzy preference relation. A revised definition is put forward for additive consistent interval fuzzy preference relations. Subsequently, linear programming models are established to generate interval priority weights for additive interval fuzzy preference relations. A practical procedure is proposed to solve group decision problems with additive interval fuzzy preference relations. Theoretic analysis and numerical examples demonstrate that the proposed methods are more accurate than those in Xu and Chen (Eur J Oper Res 184:266–280, 2008b).     

A goal programming approach to group decision-making with three formats of incomplete preference relations

This paper proposes a goal programming approach to solve the group decision-making problem where the preference information about alternatives provided by decision makers can be represented in three formats, i.e., incomplete multiplicative preference relations, incomplete fuzzy preference relations and incomplete linguistic preference relations. In the approach, a transformation function is introduced to transform the incomplete linguistic preference relation into an incomplete fuzzy preference relation. To narrow the gap between the collective opinion and each decision maker’s opinion, a liner goal programming model is constructed to integrate the three different formats of incomplete preference relations and to compute the collective ranking values of the alternatives. Thus, the ranking order of alternatives or selection of the most desirable alternative(s) is obtained directly according to the computed collective ranking values. A numerical example is also used to illustrate the feasibility and the applicability of the proposed approach.     

A two-stage linear goal programming approach to eliciting interval weights from additive interval fuzzy preference relations

This article presents a linear goal programming framework to obtain normalized interval weights from interval fuzzy preference relations (IFPRs). A parameterized transformation equation is put forward to convert a normalized interval weight vector into IFPRs with additive consistency. Based on a linearization approximate relation of the transformation equation, a two-stage linear goal programming approach is developed to elicit interval weights and determine an appropriate parameter value from an additive IFPR. The first stage devises a linear goal programming model to generate optimal interval weight vectors by minimizing the absolute deviation between sides of the parameterized linearization approximate relation. The second stage aims to find a benchmark among the optimal solutions derived from the previous stage by minimizing the absolute deviation between the parameter and 1. The obtained benchmark is the closest to the original IFPR and can sufficiently reflect uncertainty of original judgments. A procedure is further proposed for solving group decision making problems with IFPRs. Two numerical examples including a comparative study with existing approaches are provided to illustrate validity and practicality of the proposed model.     

Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy Hamacher aggregation operators and their application to multiple attribute decision making

Hamacher product is a t‐norm and Hamacher sum is a t‐conorm. They are good alternatives to algebraic product and algebraic sum, respectively. Nevertheless, it seems that most of the existing hesitant fuzzy aggregation operators are based on the algebraic operations. In this paper, we utilize Hamacher operations to develop some Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy aggregation operators: Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy Hamacher weighted average (PHFHWA) operator, Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy Hamacher weighted geometric (PHFHWG) operator, Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy Hamacher ordered weighted average (PHFHOWA) operator, Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy Hamacher ordered weighted geometric (PHFHOWG) operator, Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy Hamacher induced ordered weighted average (PHFHIOWA) operator, Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy Hamacher induced ordered weighted geometric (PHFHIOWG) operator, Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy Hamacher induced correlated aggregation operators, Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy Hamacher prioritized aggregation operators, and Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy Hamacher power aggregation operators. The special cases of these proposed operators are studied. Then, we have utilized these operators to develop some approaches to solve the Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy multiple attribute decision making problems. Finally, a practical example for green supplier selections in green supply chain management is given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.     

Incomplete interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference relations

The aim of this paper is to investigate decision making problems with interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference information, in which the preferences provided by the decision maker over alternatives are incomplete or uncertain. We define some new preference relations, including additive consistent incomplete interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation, multiplicative consistent incomplete interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation and acceptable incomplete interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation. Based on the arithmetic average and the geometric mean, respectively, we give two procedures for extending the acceptable incomplete interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference relations to the complete interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference relations. Then, by using the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy averaging operator or the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy geometric operator, an approach is given to decision making based on the incomplete interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation, and the developed approach is applied to a practical problem. It is worth pointing out that if the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation is reduced to the real-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation, then all the above results are also reduced to the counterparts, which can be applied to solve the decision making problems with incomplete intuitionistic fuzzy preference information.     

Multiplicative consistency analysis for q-rung orthopair fuzzy preference relation

The q-rung orthopair fuzzy set is characterized by membership and nonmembership functions, and the sum of the qth power of them is less than or equal to one. Since it releases the constraints existed in both intuitionistic fuzzy set and Pythagorean fuzzy set, it has wide applications in real cases. However, so far, there is little research on the multiplicative consistency of q-rung orthopair fuzzy preference relation (q-ROFPR). To fill this vacancy, this paper provides a detailed analysis on the multiplicative consistency of q-ROFPR. First, we investigate the concept of multiplicative consistent q-ROFPR and its properties. Subsequently, two goal programming models are proposed to derive the priorities from individual and group q-ROFPRs, respectively. After that, a novel consistency-improving algorithm for q-ROFPR and a weight-generating method for decision-makers are discussed in detail, based on which, a novel group decision-making method is proposed. Finally, a case study concerning the evaluation of rehabilitation program selection is given to illustrate the applicability of the proposed method. The effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method are verified by comparing it with some existing methods.     

Additive consistency-based priority-generating method of q-rung orthopair fuzzy preference relation

The q-rung orthopair fuzzy set, whose membership function and nonmembership function belong to the interval [0,1], is more powerful than both intuitionistic fuzzy set and Pythagorean fuzzy set in expressing imprecise information of decision-makers. The aim of this paper is to investigate a method to determine the priority weights from individual or group q-rung orthopair fuzzy preference relations (q-ROFPRs). To do so, firstly, a new definition of additively consistent q-ROFPR is presented based on the preference relation of alternatives given by decision-makers. Afterward, according to individual and group q-ROFPRs, two kinds of goal programming models are proposed, respectively, to generate the q-rung orthopair fuzzy priority weight vector of the given q-ROFPR(s). Finally, two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and superiority of the method proposed in this paper.
