A multi-attribute group decision-making method based on weighted geometric aggregation operators of interval-valued trapezoidal fuzzy numbers

With respect to the multiple attribute group decision making problems in which the attribute values take the form of generalized interval-valued trapezoidal fuzzy numbers (GITFN), this paper proposed a decision making method based on weighted geometric aggregation operators. First, some operational rules, the distance and comparison between two GITFNs are introduced. Second, the generalized interval-valued trapezoidal fuzzy numbers weighted geometric aggregation (GITFNWGA) operator, the generalized interval-valued trapezoidal fuzzy numbers ordered weighted geometric aggregation (GITFNOWGA) operator, and the generalized interval-valued trapezoidal fuzzy numbers hybrid geometric aggregation (GITFNHGA) operator are proposed, and their various properties are investigated. At the same time, the group decision methods based on these operators are also presented. Finally, an illustrate example is given to show the decision-making steps and the effectiveness of this method.
