A novel approach to multi attribute group decision making based on trapezoidal interval type-2 fuzzy soft sets

Soft set theory, originally proposed by Molodtsov, has become an effective mathematical tool to deal with uncertainty. A type-2 fuzzy set, which is characterized by a fuzzy membership function, can provide us with more degrees of freedom to represent the uncertainty and the vagueness of the real world. Interval type-2 fuzzy sets are the most widely used type-2 fuzzy sets. In this paper, we first introduce the concept of trapezoidal interval type-2 fuzzy numbers and present some arithmetic operations between them. As a special case of interval type-2 fuzzy sets, trapezoidal interval type-2 fuzzy numbers can express linguistic assessments by transforming them into numerical variables objectively. Then, by combining trapezoidal interval type-2 fuzzy sets with soft sets, we propose the notion of trapezoidal interval type-2 fuzzy soft sets. Furthermore, some operations on trapezoidal interval type-2 fuzzy soft sets are defined and their properties are investigated. Finally, by using trapezoidal interval type-2 fuzzy soft sets, we propose a novel approach to multi attribute group decision making under interval type-2 fuzzy environment. A numerical example is given to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.     

A rough set approach to intuitionistic fuzzy soft set based decision making

The soft set theory, originally proposed by Molodtsov, can be used as a general mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainty. Since its appearance, there has been some progress concerning practical applications of soft set theory, especially the use of soft sets in decision making. The intuitionistic fuzzy soft set is a combination of an intuitionistic fuzzy set and a soft set. The rough set theory is a powerful tool for dealing with uncertainty, granuality and incompleteness of knowledge in information systems. Using rough set theory, this paper proposes a novel approach to intuitionistic fuzzy soft set based decision making problems. Firstly, by employing an intuitionistic fuzzy relation and a threshold value pair, we define a new rough set model and examine some fundamental properties of this rough set model. Then the concepts of approximate precision and rough degree are given and some basic properties are discussed. Furthermore, we investigate the relationship between intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets and intuitionistic fuzzy relations and present a rough set approach to intuitionistic fuzzy soft set based decision making. Finally, an illustrative example is employed to show the validity of this rough set approach in intuitionistic fuzzy soft set based decision making problems.     

A consistency and consensus-based method to group decision making with interval linguistic preference relations

Preference relations are a powerful tool to address decision-making problems. In some situations, because of the complexity of decision-making problems and the inherent uncertainty, the decision makers cannot express their preferences by using numerical values. Interval linguistic preference relations, which are more reliable and informative for the decision-makers’ preferences, are a good choice to cope with this issue. Just as with the other types of preference relations, the consistency and consensus analysis is very importance to ensure the reasonable ranking order by using interval linguistic preference relations. Considering this situation, this paper introduces a consistency concept for interval linguistic preference relations. To measure the consistency of interval linguistic preference relations, a consistency measure is defined. Then, a consistency-based programming model is built, by which the consistent linguistic preference relations with respect to each object can be obtained. To cope with the inconsistency case, two models for deriving the adjusted consistent linguistic preference relations are constructed. Then, a consistency-based programming model to estimate the missing values is built. After that, we present a group consensus index and present some of its desirable properties. Furthermore, a group consensus-based model to determine the weights of the decision makers with respect to each object is established. Finally, an approach to group decision making with interval linguistic preference relations is developed, which is based on the consistency and consensus analysis. Meanwhile, the associated numerical examples are offered to illustrate the application of the procedure.

An adjustable approach to fuzzy soft set based decision making

Molodtsov’s soft set theory was originally proposed as a general mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainty. Recently, decision making based on (fuzzy) soft sets has found paramount importance. This paper aims to give deeper insights into decision making based on fuzzy soft sets. We discuss the validity of the Roy-Maji method and show its true limitations. We point out that the choice value designed for the crisp case is no longer fit to solve decision making problems involving fuzzy soft sets. By means of level soft sets, we present an adjustable approach to fuzzy soft set based decision making and give some illustrative examples. Moreover, the weighted fuzzy soft set is introduced and its application to decision making is also investigated.

The supplier selection problem of a manufacturing company using the weighted multi-choice goal programming and MINMAX multi-choice goal programming

This paper presents two methods of decision making, Weighted multi-choice goal programming (MCGP) and MINMAX MCGP. With the proposed Weighted MCGP method, decision makers can set different weights w_i for each goal with linguistic terms, such as high, average and low, which can be transformed into trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Meanwhile, with the proposed MINMAX MCGP method, this study also let decision makers set the satisfaction membership function for each goal according to their preference in order to eliminate the effect of different scales in each goal.This paper also investigates the relationship between Weighted multi-choice goal programming and MINMAX multi-choice goal programming. According to the sensitivity analysis, decision makers can get the solution with the minimum aggregate deviation for all multiple goals from the Weighted multi-choice goal programming. Meanwhile, decision makers can get the solution with the most balanced solution between all multiple goals from the MINMAX multi-choice goal programming method. The weight variable is introduced to the above two methods to provide decision-makers with a mechanism to evaluate the discrepancy between the maximum aggregate achievement and the most balanced solution, enabling decision-makers to reach the preferable decision for their situation. A real-world problem of supplier selection by the purchasing and sales managers of a manufacturing company is used to illustrate the differing solutions given by the two models.

Group decision making methods based on intuitionistic fuzzy soft matrices

Soft set theory was originally proposed by Molodtsov as a general mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainty in 1999. Recently, researches of decision making based on soft sets have got some progress, but few people consider multi-experts situation. As such, this paper discusses multi-experts group decision making problems. Firstly, we give a concept of intuitionistic fuzzy soft matrix (IFSM) and prove some relevant properties of IFSM. Then, an adjustable approach is presented by means of median level soft set and p-quantile level soft set for dealing with decision making problems based on IFSM. Thirdly, we study aggregation methods of IFSM, give two kinds of aggregation operators and methods that how to determine experts’ weights under different situation with programming models, four corresponding algorithms have been proposed, too. Finally, a practical example has been demonstrated the reasonability and efficiency of these new algorithms.
