An improved similarity measure of generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and its application in multi-attribute group decision making
Authors
Abstract:
Generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers (GTFNs) have been widely applied in uncertain decision-making problems. The similarity between GTFNs plays an important part in solving such problems, while there are some limitations in existing similarity measure methods. Thus, based on the cosine similarity, a novel similarity measure of GTFNs is developed which is combined with the concepts of geometric distance, center of gravity, area and perimeter after analyzing the limitations of previous methods. Then comparative analysis is conducted with existing similarity measures, and the results show that the novel similarity measure has better distinguishability and lower invalidity. Furthermore, a general process, which combines the new similarity measure of GTFNs with compromise methods, is developed to deal with multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problem. Finally, we combine fuzzy VIKOR with the general process as illustrated example, which proves the superiority of the developed similarity measure in solving MAGDM problem.

Cosine Similarity Measure Based Multi-attribute Decision-making with Trapezoidal Fuzzy Neutrosophic Numbers
The objective of the study is to present cosine similarity measure based multi-attribute decision making under neutrosophic environment. The assesments of alternatives over the attributes are expressed with trapezoidal fuzzy neutrosophic numbers in which the three independent components namely, truth-membership degree (T), indeterminacy-membership degree (I) and falsity-membership degree (F) ar...

Trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy prioritized aggregation operators and application to multi-attribute decision making
In some multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems, various relationships among the decision attributes should be considered. This paper investigates the prioritization relationship of attributes in MADM with trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TrIFNs). TrIFNs are a special intuitionistic fuzzy set on a real number set and have the better capability to model ill-known quantities. Fir...

With respect to multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems in which the attribute values take form of Pythagorean fuzzy numbers, a new Pythagorean fuzzy aggregation operator called Pythagorean fuzzy induced generalized ordered weighted averaging (PFIGOWA) operator is proposed. Some desirable properties and families of the proposed operator are discussed. Furthermore, based on the pr...

As an special intuitionistic fuzzy set defined on the real number set, triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number (TIFN) is a fundamental tool for quantifying an ill-known quantity. In order to model the decision maker's overall preference with mandatory requirements, it is necessary to develop some Bonferroni harmonic mean operators for TIFNs which can be used to effectively intergrate the informa...
