Multiple criteria decision making method based on normal interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy generalized aggregation operator

On the basis of the normal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (NIFNs), we proposed the normal interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (NIVIFNs) in which the values of the membership and nonmembership were extended to interval numbers. First, the definition, the properties, the score function and accuracy function of the NIVIFNs are briefly introduced, and the operational laws are defined. Second, some aggregation operators based on the NIVIFNs are proposed, such as normal interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy weighted arithmetic averaging operator, normal interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted arithmetic averaging operator, normal interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid weighted arithmetic averaging operator, normal interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy weighted geometric averaging operator, normal interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted geometric averaging operator, normal interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid weighted geometric averaging operator, and normal interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy generalized weighted averaging operator, normal interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy generalized ordered weighted averaging operator, normal interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy generalized hybrid weighted averaging operator, and some properties of these operators, such as idempotency, monotonicity, boundedness, commutativity, are studied. Further, an approach to the decision making problems with the NIVIFNs is established. Finally, an illustrative example is given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 277–290, 2016     

Same families of geometric aggregation operators with intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy numbers

The aim of this work is to present some cases of aggregation operators with intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and study their desirable properties. First, some operational laws of intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are introduced. Next, based on these operational laws, we develop some geometric aggregation operators for aggregating intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. In particular, we present the intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy weighted geometric (ITFWG) operator, the intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy ordered weighted geometric (ITFOWG) operator, the induced intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy ordered weighted geometric (I-ITFOWG) operator and the intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy hybrid geometric (ITFHG) operator. It is worth noting that the aggregated value by using these operators is also an intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy value. Then, an approach to multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems with intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy information is developed based on the ITFWG and the ITFHG operators. Finally, an illustrative example is given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.

Continuous interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operators and their applications to group decision making

In this paper, we introduce a new operator called the continuous interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (C-IVIFOWA) operator for aggregating the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy values. It combines the intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (IFOWA) operator and the continuous ordered weighted averaging (C-OWA) operator by a controlling parameter, which can be employed to diminish fuzziness and improve the accuracy of decision making. We further apply the C-IVIFOWA operator to the aggregation of multiple interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy values and obtain a wide range of aggregation operators including the weighted C-IVIFOWA (WC-IVIFOWA) operator, the ordered weighted (OWC-IVIFOWA) operator and the combined C-IVIFOWA (CC-IVIFOWA) operator. Some desirable properties of these operators are investigated. And finally, we give a numerical example to illustrate the applications of these operators to group decision making under interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environment.

Dynamic Aggregation Operators Based on Intuitionistic Fuzzy Tools and Einstein Operations

The idea of combine aggregation and intuitionistic fuzzy information plays essential role in multi criteria decision making (MCDM) process. However, this new branch has attracted researchers that study in different fields recently. In this paper, we study MCDM problems with intuitionistic fuzzy environment. Firstly, we introduce some operations related with Einstein t-norm and t-conorm such as, Einstein sum, product and exponentiation. After that, we define dynamic intuitionistic fuzzy Einstein averaging (DIFWA${}^{?}$) operator and dynamic intuitionistic fuzzy Einstein geometric averaging (DIFWG${}^{?}$) operator. Their notable property is that collect and aggregate values in different period based on Einstein operations in intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS)s. In addition, we compare the defined operators with the existing intuitionistic fuzzy dynamic operators and get the corresponding relations. We establish two methods using with DIFWA${}^{?}$ and DIFWG${}^{?}$ to solve MCDM problems with intuitionistic fuzzy tools. Finally, an illustrated example is presented to show the applicability of the introduced methods.

The OWA-based consensus operator under linguistic representation models using position indexes

When using linguistic approaches to solve decision problems, we need linguistic representation models. The symbolic model, the 2-tuple fuzzy linguistic representation model and the continuous linguistic model are three existing linguistic representation models based on position indexes. Together with these three linguistic models, the corresponding ordered weighted averaging operators, such as the linguistic ordered weighted averaging operator, the 2-tuple ordered weighted averaging operator and the extended ordered weighted averaging operator, have been developed, respectively. In this paper, we analyze the internal relationship among these operators, and propose a consensus operator under the continuous linguistic model (or the 2-tuple fuzzy linguistic representation model). The proposed consensus operator is based on the use of the ordered weighted averaging operator and the deviation measures. Some desired properties of the consensus operator are also presented. In particular, the consensus operator provides an alternative consensus model for group decision making. This consensus model preserves the original preference information given by the decision makers as much as possible, and supports consensus process automatically, without moderator.

Multi-person multi-attribute decision making models under intuitionistic fuzzy environment

Intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, each of which is characterized by the degree of membership and the degree of non-membership of an element, are a very useful means to depict the decision information in the process of decision making. In this article, we investigate the group decision making problems in which all the information provided by the decision makers is expressed as intuitionistic fuzzy decision matrices where each of the elements is characterized by intuitionistic fuzzy number, and the information about attribute weights is partially known, which may be constructed by various forms. We first use the intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid geometric (IFHG) operator to aggregate all individual intuitionistic fuzzy decision matrices provided by the decision makers into the collective intuitionistic fuzzy decision matrix, then we utilize the score function to calculate the score of each attribute value and construct the score matrix of the collective intuitionistic fuzzy decision matrix. Based on the score matrix and the given attribute weight information, we establish some optimization models to determine the weights of attributes. Furthermore, we utilize the obtained attribute weights and the intuitionistic fuzzy weighted geometric (IFWG) operator to fuse the intuitionistic fuzzy information in the collective intuitionistic fuzzy decision matrix to get the overall intuitionistic fuzzy values of alternatives by which the ranking of all the given alternatives can be found. Finally, we give an illustrative example.
