چکیده

Abstract: The Bonferroni mean (BM) can be used in situations where the aggregated arguments are correlated. BM is very useful for solving decision-making problems. For describing fuzziness and vagueness more accurately, the interval-valued hesitant fuzzy set (IVHFS), which is a generalization of the hesitant fuzzy set (HFS), can be used to describe the membership degrees with interval numbers. The aim of this paper is to propose the interval-valued hesitant fuzzy Bonferroni mean (IVHFBM) for aggregating interval-valued hesitant fuzzy information. Furthermore, the weighted form of IVHFBM (IVHFWBM) is forwarded and, hereby, a multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) method is established. A case study on the problem of evaluating research funding applications in China is analyzed. A comparison between the proposed method and existing ones demonstrates its practicability.

Soft Computing-based New Interval-valued Pythagorean Triangular Fuzzy Multi-criteria Group Assessment Method without Aggregation: Application to a Transport Projects Appraisal

In this paper, an interval-valued Pythagorean triangular fuzzy number (IVPTFN) as a useful tool to handle decision-making problems with vague quantities is defined. Then, their operational laws are developed. By introducing a novel method of making a decision on the concept of possibility theory, a multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problem is considered, in which the attribute value...
