区间值广义正交模糊Frank算子及群决策方法

基于区间值广义正交模糊环境和Frank算子,定义了区间值广义正交模糊Frank算子的运算法则,提出了区间值广义正交模糊Frank加权平均算子(IVq-ROFFWA)和加权几何算子(IVq-ROFFWG),并研究了它们的幂等性、有界性和单调性。然后提出了基于IVq-ROFFWA算子的多属性群决策方法(MAGDM),该方法通过选取满足条件的q值,使用IVq-ROFFWA算子集结得到目标区间值模糊数,比较它们的得分得到最优方案,还得出了不同q值不影响最优方案排序的结论。最后通过实际案例验证了基于IVq-ROFFWA算子的多属性群决策方法的可行性和有效性,验证了不同q值不影响最优方案排序的结论。经过比较分析,基于IVq-ROFFWA算子和IVq-ROFFWG算子的群决策方法与基于其他算子的群决策方法运算结果一致。     

基于可信度的基本不确定区间犹豫模糊广义TODIM应急群决策方法

针对应急决策环境所存在的信息不完备、认知不足等问题,区间犹豫模糊集能充分表达决策者在信息评价时的犹豫性和模糊性,但随着研究的深入,发现其存在无法保证信息质量的缺陷.为此,提出更符合实际决策需求、信息表达更加灵活的基本不确定区间犹豫模糊集,其为包含区间犹豫模糊集和确定度的二维信息集.在此基础上,定义基本不确定区间犹豫模糊加权平均算子、犹豫度及可信度,提出基于可信度的专家权重调整方法和属性权重确定方法,充分考虑了决策专家提供评价信息的可靠程度.最后,将广义TODIM方法拓展到基本不确定区间犹豫模糊环境,通过应急决策案例验证所提方法的可行性,并利用灵敏度分析和对比分析验证该方法的稳定性和有效性.     

Multiple attribute group decision-making based on order-α divergence and entropy measures under q-rung orthopair fuzzy environment

The q-rung orthopair fuzzy set (^qROPFS), proposed by Yager, is a more effective and proficient tool to represent uncertain or vague information in real-life situations. Divergence and entropy are two important measures, which have been extensively studied in different information environments, including fuzzy, intuitionistic fuzzy, interval-valued fuzzy, and Pythagorean fuzzy. In the present communication, we study the divergence and entropy measures under the q-rung orthopair fuzzy environment. First, the work defines two new order-α divergence measures for ^qROPFSs to quantify the information of discrimination between two ^qROPFSs. We also examine several mathematical properties associated with order-α ^qROPF divergence measures in detail. Second, the paper introduces two new parametric entropy functions called “order-α ^qROPF entropy measures” to measure the degree of fuzziness associated with a ^qROPFS. We show that the proposed order-α divergence and entropy measures include several existing divergence and entropy measures as their particular cases. Further, the paper develops a new decision-making approach to solve multiple attribute group decision-making problems under the ^qROPF environment where the information about the attribute weights is completely unknown or partially known. Finally, an example of selecting the best enterprise resource planning system is provided to illustrate the decision-making steps and effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Improved Accuracy Function for Interval-Valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets and Its Application to Multi–Attributes Group Decision Making

Accuracy functions proposed by various researchers fail to compare some interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) correctly. In the present research paper, we propose an improved accuracy function to compare all comparable IVIFSs correctly. The use of proposed accuracy function is also proposed in a method for multi attribute group decision making (MAGDM) method with partially known attributes’ weight. Finally, the proposed MAGDM method is implemented on a real case study of evaluation teachers’ performance. Sensitivity analysis of this method is also done to show the effectiveness of the proposed accuracy function in MAGDM.     

An automatic approach to reaching consensus in multiple attribute group decision making

In this work, we consider the problem of consensus of multiple attribute group decision making, and develop an automatic approach to reaching consensus among group opinions. In the process of group decision making, each expert provides his/her preferences over the alternatives with respect to each attribute, and constructs an individual decision matrix. The developed approach first aggregates these individual decision matrices into a group decision matrix by using the additive weighted aggregation (AWA) operator, and then establishes a convergent iterative algorithm to gain a consentaneous group decision matrix. Then based on the consentaneous group decision matrix, the approach utilizes the AWA operator to derive the overall attribute values of alternatives, by which the most desirable alternative can be found out. Finally, we detailedly expound the implementation process of the approach with a practical example.
