چکیده مقاله:

The purpose of this paper is to extend a new balancing and ranking method to handle uncertainty for a multiple attribute analysis under a hesitant fuzzy environment. The presented hesitant fuzzy balancing and ranking (HF-BR) method does not require attributes’ weights through the process of multiple attribute decision making (MADM) under hesitant conditions. For the rating of possible alternatives, firstly, they are defined as hesitant fuzzy terms and then converted into hesitant fuzzy sets. Second, an outranking matrix indicates that a possible alternative overcomes the other alternatives regarding to each chosen attribute. Third, the outranking matrix is triangularized; this means that we prepare provisional order of possible alternatives or implicit preordering under hesitant conditions. Eventually, the empirical order of alternatives goes through variant operations of balancing and screening that needs continuous application of a balancing axiom to the advantages–disadvantages table. It links incompatible attributes with pair-wise comparisons of the possible alternatives for the multiple attribute analysis. Finally, we present an application example for the supplier selection to show the applicability and feasibility of the proposed HF-BR method in the hesitant fuzzy setting.

A New Compromise Decision-making Model based on TOPSIS and VIKOR for Solving Multi-objective Large-scale Programming Problems with a Block Angular Structure under Uncertainty

This paper proposes a compromise model, based on a new method, to solve the multi-objective large-scale linear programming (MOLSLP) problems with block angular structure involving fuzzy parameters. The problem involves fuzzy parameters in the objective functions and constraints. In this compromise programming method, two concepts are considered simultaneously. First of them is that the optimal ...

Group Decision-Making for Hesitant Fuzzy Sets Based on Characteristic Objects Method

There are many real-life problems that, because of the need to involve a wide domain of knowledge, are beyond a single expert. This is especially true for complex problems. Therefore, it is usually necessary to allocate more than one expert to a decision process. In such situations, we can observe an increasing importance of uncertainty. In this paper, the Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) ...

A modification of probabilistic hesitant fuzzy sets and its application to multiple criteria decision making

Probabilistic hesitant fuzzy set (PHFS) is a fruitful concept that adds to hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) the term of probability which is able to retain more information than the usual HFS. Here, we demonstrate that the existing definitions of PHFS are not still reasonable, and therefore, we first improve the PHFS definition. By endowing the set and algebraic operations with a new re-definition of P...

New distance and similarity measures for hesitant fuzzy soft sets

The hesitant fuzzy soft set (HFSS), as a combination of hesitant fuzzy and soft sets, is regarded as a useful tool for dealing with the uncertainty and ambiguity of real-world problems. In HFSSs, each element is defined in terms of several parameters with arbitrary membership degrees. In addition, distance and similarity measures are considered as the important tools in different areas such as ...
