Linguistic power aggregation operators and their application to multiple attribute group decision making

The aim of this study is to develop new linguistic aggregation operators based on the power-average (PA) operator, such as the linguistic power average (LPA) operator, the linguistic weighted PA operator, and the LPOWA operator. We studied some desired properties of the developed operators, such as idempotency and commutativity. Moreover, we developed two approaches to deal with group decision-making problems under linguistic environments. If the weighting vector of the decision makers was known, we developed an approach based on the linguistic weighted PA operator. On the other hand, if the weighting vector of the decision maker was unknown, we developed a different approach based on the LPOWA operator. We also developed new uncertain linguistic operators under uncertain linguistic environments, such as the ULPA operator, the uncertain linguistic weighted PA operator, and the ULPOWA operator. We extended these approaches, which are based on ULWPA and ULPOWA operators, respectively, to solve group decision-making problems under an uncertain linguistic environment. Finally, a practical example is provided to illustrate the multiple-attribute group decision-making process.

Uncertain linguistic Bonferroni mean operators and their application to multiple attribute decision making

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems with uncertain linguistic information. Motivated by the ideal of Bonferroni mean and geometric Bonferroni mean, we develop two aggregation techniques called the uncertain linguistic Bonferroni mean (ULBM) operator and the uncertain linguistic geometric Bonferroni mean (ULGBM) operator for aggregating the uncertain linguistic information. We study its properties and discuss its special cases. For the situations where the input arguments have different importance, we then define the uncertain linguistic weighted Bonferroni mean (ULWBM) operator and the uncertain linguistic weighted geometric Bonferroni mean (ULWGBM) operator, based on which we develop two procedures for multiple attribute decision making under the uncertain linguistic environments. Finally, a practical example is given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.     

Some geometric aggregation operators based on interval intuitionistic uncertain linguistic variables and their application to group decision making

With respect to multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems in which both the attribute weights and the expert weights take the form of crisp numbers, and attribute values take the form of interval-valued intuitionistic uncertain linguistic variables, some new group decision making analysis methods are developed. Firstly, some operational laws, expected value and accuracy function of interval-valued intuitionistic uncertain linguistic variables are introduced. Then, an interval-valued intuitionistic uncertain linguistic weighted geometric average (IVIULWGA) operator and an interval-valued intuitionistic uncertain linguistic ordered weighted geometric (IVIULOWG) operator have been developed. Furthermore, some desirable properties of the IVIULWGA operator and the IVIULOWG operator, such as commutativity, idempotency and monotonicity, have been studied, and an interval-valued intuitionistic uncertain linguistic hybrid geometric (IVIULHG) operator which generalizes both the IVIULWGA operator and the IVIULOWG operator, was developed. Based on these operators, an approach to multiple attribute group decision making with interval-valued intuitionistic uncertain linguistic information has been proposed. Finally, an illustrative example is given to verify the developed approaches and to demonstrate their practicality and effectiveness.

Then, two interval-valued intuitionistic uncertain linguistic operators called the interval-valued intuitionistic uncertain linguistic Choquet averaging (IVIULCA) operator and the interval-valued intuitionistic uncertain linguistic Choquet geometric mean (IVIULCGM) operator are defined, which consider the interactive characteristics among elements in a set. In order to overall reflect the correlations between them, we further define the generalized Shapley interval-valued intuitionistic uncertain linguistic Choquet averaging (GS-IVIULCA) operator and the generalized Shapley interval-valued intuitionistic uncertain linguistic Choquet geometric mean (GS-IVIULCGM) operator. Moreover, if the information about the weights of experts and attributes is incompletely known, the models for the optimal fuzzy measures on expert set and attribute set are established, respectively. Finally, a method to multi-attribute group decision making under interval-valued intuitionistic uncertain linguistic environment is developed, and an example is provided to show the specific application of the developed procedure.

Some induced ordered weighted averaging operators and their use for solving group decision-making problems based on fuzzy preference relations

In [R.R. Yager, D.P. Filev, Operations for granular computing: Mixing words and numbers, in: Proceedings of the FUZZ-IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence, Anchorage, 1998, pp. 123–128] Yager and Filev introduced the Induced Ordered Weighted Averaging (IOWA) operator. In this paper, we provide some IOWA operators to aggregate fuzzy preference relations in group decision-making (GDM) problems. These IOWA operators when guided by fuzzy linguistic quantifiers allow the introduction of some semantics or meaning in the aggregation, and therefore allow for a better control over the aggregation stage developed in the resolution process of the GDM problems. In particular, we present the Importance IOWA (I-IOWA) operator, which applies the ordering of the argument values based upon the importance of the information sources; the Consistency IOWA (C-IOWA) operator, which applies the ordering of the argument values based upon the consistency of the information sources; and the Preference IOWA (P-IOWA) operator, which applies the ordering of the argument values based upon the relative preference values associated to each one of them. We provide a procedure to deal with ‘ties’ in respect to the ordering induced by the application of one of these IOWA operators; it consists of a sequential application of the above IOWA operators. We also present a selection process for GDM problems based on the concept of fuzzy majority and the above three IOWA operators. Finally, we analyse the reciprocity and consistency properties of the collective fuzzy preference relations obtained using IOWA operators.     

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.     

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.
