Some Similarity Measures for Triangular Fuzzy Number and Their Applications in Multiple Criteria Group Decision-Making
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose some similarity measures between two triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs) based on the vector similarity measures in vector space, which can be used to aggregate the decision information with TFNs. A methodology for multiple criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) problems with triangular fuzzy information is proposed; the criteria values take the form of linguistic values, which can be converts to TFNs.According to theweighted similaritymeasures between each alternative and ideal alternative, it is easy to rank alternatives and select the most desirable alternative. Finally, we apply the proposed methods to an illustrative example of MCGDM; the numerical results show that our method is effective and practical. For comparison, we also apply our similarity measures method to solve the fuzzy decision-making problem in Wei (2011); our method has simpler computation and gets the same results more rapidly than the FLOWHMmethod.

PROMETHEE refers to a collection of methods of ranking in the field of multi-criteria decision making. These methods are characterized by conceptual simplicity and practical applicability. However, the nature of phenomena involving decision-making in real world leads us to use fuzzy method of preference ranking. The most common criticism on mathematical ranking procedures is that they tend to d...
