Induced generalized intuitionistic fuzzy OWA operator for multi-attribute group decision making

With respect to multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems in which both the attribute weights and the decision makers (DMs) weights take the form of real numbers, attribute values provided by the DMs take the form of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, a new group decision making method is developed. Some operational laws, score function and accuracy function of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are introduced at first. Then a new aggregation operator called induced generalized intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (IG-IFOWA) operator is proposed, which extend the induced generalized ordered weighted averaging (IGOWA) operator introduced by Merigo and Gil-Lafuente [Merigo, J. M., & Gil-Lafuente, A. M. (2009). The induced generalized OWA operator. Information Sciences, 179, 729-741] to accommodate the environment in which the given arguments are intuitionistic fuzzy sets that are characterized by a membership function and a non-membership function. Some desirable properties of the IG-IFOWA operator are studied, such as commutativity, idempotency, monotonicity and boundary. And then, an approach based on the IG-IFOWA and IFWA (intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging) operators is developed to solve MAGDM problems with intuitionistic fuzzy information. Finally, a numerical example is used to illustrate the developed approach.     

Some induced intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operators applied to multi-attribute group decision making

In this paper, we define various induced intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operators, including induced intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator, induced intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid averaging (I-IFHA) operator, induced interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy OWA operator, and induced interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid averaging (I-IIFHA) operator. We also establish various properties of these operators. And then, an approach based on I-IFHA operator and intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging (WA) operator is developed to solve multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problems. In such problems, attribute weights and the decision makers' (DMs') weights are real numbers and attribute values provided by the DMs are intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFNs), and an approach based on I-IIFHA operator and interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy WA operator is developed to solve MAGDM problems where the attribute values provided by the DMs are interval-valued IFNs. Furthermore, induced intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid geometric operator and induced interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid geometric operator are proposed. Finally, a numerical example is presented to illustrate the developed approaches.

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.

Next, we study some main properties by utilizing some operational laws of the trapezoidal Pythagorean fuzzy linguistic variables. Finally, a numerical example concerning the enterprise location is given to illustrate the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed operator.     

Hesitant interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy VIKOR method

In this article, we investigate multiple attribute decision-making problems with hesitant interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy information. First, the concepts of hesitant interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy set are defined, and the operation laws, the score function, and accuracy function have been developed. Then several distance measures for hesitant interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy values have been presented including the Hamming distance, Euclidean distance, and generalized distance, and so on. Based on the operational laws, a series of aggregation operators have been developed including the hesitant interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy weighted averaging (HIVPFWA) operator, the hesitant interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy geometric weighted averaging (HIVPFGWA) operator, the hesitant interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy ordered weighed averaging (HIVPFOWA) operator, and hesitant interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy ordered weighed geometric averaging (HIVPFOWGA) operator. By using the generalized mean operator, we also develop the generalized hesitant interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy weighed averaging (GHIVPFWA) operator, the generalized hesitant interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy weighed geometric averaging (GHIVPFWGA) operator, the generalized hesitant interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (GHIVPFOWA) operator, and generalized hesitant interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy ordered weighted geometric averaging (GHIVPFOWGA) operator operator. We further develop several hybrid aggregation operators including the hesitant interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy hybrid averaging (HIVPFHA) operator and the generalized hesitant interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy hybrid averaging (GHIVPFHA) operator. Based on the distance measures and the aggregation operators, we propose a hesitant interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy VIKOR method to solve multiple attribute decision problems with multiple periods. Finally, an illustrative example for evaluating the metro project risk is given to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Multi-period multi-attribute group decision-making under linguistic assessments

In fuzzy environments, decision information is more suitable to be expressed in linguistic labels than exact numerical values. Group decision-making with linguistic assessments has received more and more attention over the last decades. Most research on this topic has focused on situations where all the original decision information is provided at the same time and refers to one and same period. However, in many decision areas, such as multi-period investment decision-making, medical diagnosis, personnel dynamic examination, military system efficiency dynamic evaluation, etc., the original decision information is usually collected at different periods and/or refers to different moments in time. This paper investigates the multi-period multi-attribute group decision-making problems where all decision information is expressed by decision-makers in multiplicative linguistic labels at different periods. The paper first introduces a new operator called a dynamic linguistic weighted geometric (DLWG) operator and uses the minimum variability model to derive the time series weights associated with the DLWG operator, and then utilises, respectively, the linguistic weighted geometric (LWG) operator and the DLWG operator to aggregate the given linguistic labels. Moreover, the paper develops an approach to multi-period multiple attribute group decision-making under linguistic assessments so as to derive the final ranking of alternatives, and finally, gives an illustrative example and extends the above results to uncertain linguistic environments.     

Generalized power aggregation operators and their applications in group decision making

In this paper, we investigate a generalized power average (GPA) operator and its weighted form, which are on the basis of the power average (PA) operator and the generalized mean, and develop a generalized power ordered weighted average (GPOWA) operator based on the power ordered weighted average (POWA) operator. Then, we extend these operators to uncertain environments and present an uncertain generalized power average (UGPA) operator and its weighted form, and an uncertain generalized power ordered weighted average (UGPOWA) operator to aggregate the input arguments taking the form of interval of numerical values. We also extend the GPA operator and the GPOWA operator to intuitionistic fuzzy environment, and obtain the generalized intuitionistic fuzzy power averaging (GIFPA) operator and the generalized intuitionistic fuzzy power ordered weighted averaging (GIFPOWA) operator. Moreover, some properties of these operators are studied. We also present new approaches on the basis of the proposed operators in an example of strategic decision making.     

A novel aggregation method for Pythagorean fuzzy multiple attribute group decision making

As an extension of fuzzy set, a Pythagorean fuzzy set has recently been developed to model imprecise and ambiguous information in practical group decision‐making problems. The aim of this paper is to introduce a novel aggregation method for the Pythagorean fuzzy set and analyze possibilities for its application in solving multiple attribute decision‐making problems. More specifically, a new Pythagorean fuzzy aggregation operator called the Pythagorean fuzzy induced ordered weighted averaging‐weighted average (PFIOWAWA) operator is developed. This operator inherits main characteristics of both ordered weighted average operator and induced ordered weighted average to aggregate the Pythagorean fuzzy information. Some of main properties and particular cases of the PFIOWAWA operator are studied. A method based on the proposed operator for multiple attribute group decision making is developed. Finally, we present a numerical example of selection of research and development projects to illustrate applicability of the new approach in a multiple attribute group decision‐making problem.
