The aim of this paper is to investigate the multiple attribute decision making problems to deal with the supplier selection in supply chain management with interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy information. Based on the traditional project method, calculation steps for solving interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy multiple attribute decision-making problems with known weight information are given...

Low-carbon tourism plays an important role in carbon emission reduction and environmental protection. Low-carbon tourism destination selection often involves multiple conflicting and incommensurate attributes or criteria and can be modelled as a multi-attribute decision-making problem. This paper develops a framework to solve multi-attribute group decision-making problems, where attribute evalu...

making decision has become one of the most challenging responsibilities of managers in recent decades. finding the optimum solution for multiple criteria decision making problems is complicated. notably, multiplicity of decision making indices accompanied by variability in quantitative and qualitative measures aggregates the complexity of decisions. operations research (or) and multiple criteri...

Vertical handover mechanism is an important issue in heterogeneous wireless networks. Continuity of service during handover and QoS are relevant issues to deal with. This paper focuses on vertical handover decision making. It proposes a Rank Average method for the best access network selection. This method is an aggregation of two Multi Attributes Decision Making (MADM) methods: Technique for O...

introduction: medical tourism is currently accepted as a developing industry. it describes the act of leaving home for treatment and care abroad. there are several factors that influence choice of destination for patients in medical tourism. identification of these factors and prioritization according to importance weights could help international healthcare providers develop their marketing st...

Because of the complexity of limitation and realistic decision of decision knowledge, multiple attribute decision making problems with the attribute value often need to characterize fuzzy number. The triangular fuzzy number to describe this kind of ambiguity is very effective and for the project investment selection problem with triangular fuzzy numbers, this study puts forward a new multiple a...

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) under the completely unknown attributes weights. As the information collected from the various resources related to different criteria for assessing the best alternatives is always imprecise in nature. Thus, to handle the impreciseness in the data, fuzzy set theory has been used during the analysis and re...

Forthcoming wireless environment is a fusion of numerous networks with diverse technologies deployed by individual operators. In such an environment, innovative network selection methodologies are required not only to provide “always best connected” service to mobile users but also to maximize network operator’s revenue. To fulfill such requirements, multiple attributes from each network are to...

As a fuzzy set extension, the hesitant set is effectively used to model situations where it is allowable to determine several possible membership degrees of an element to a set due to the ambiguity between different values. Some new hesitant fuzzy operational rules are introduced based on the Hamacher t-conorm and t-norm, whereby we present a multi attribute decision making method under hesitan...

A single-valued neutrosophic set has king power to express uncertainty characterized by indeterminacy, inconsistency and incompleteness. Most of the existing single-valued neutrosophic cross entropy bears an asymmetrical behavior and produces an undefined phenomenon in some situations. In order to deal with these disadvantages, we propose a new cross entropy measure under a single-valued neutro...
