Extended and infinite ordered weighted averaging and sum operators with numerical examples

This study discusses some variants of Ordered WeightedAveraging (OWA) operators and related information aggregation methods. Indetail, we define the Extended Ordered Weighted Sum (EOWS) operator and theExtended Ordered Weighted Averaging (EOWA) operator, which are applied inscientometrics evaluation where the preference is over finitely manyrepresentative works. As contrast, we also define the Infinite OrderedWeighted Sum (InOWS) operator and the Infinite Ordered Weighted Averaging(InOWA) operator, which are more suitable for the correspondingscientometrics evaluation where all of works of scholars are considered. Wealso define the family of Infinite Gaussian maxitive OWA weights functionand the family of Infinite Gaussian OWA weights function, and discuss someof their mathematical properties. Some illustrative examples, comparisonsand figures are provided to better expound their applicability inscientometrics evaluation.
