Selection of an appropriate Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) method for providing a solution to given MADM problem is always challenging endeavour. The challenge even greater situations where specific there exist multiple methods with similar degree suitability. Technique Order Preference by Similarity Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) and its dominant variant the Modified TOPSIS are two very ap...

Abstract: With respect to the interval neutrosophic multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) problems, the MADM method based on some interval neutrosophic aggregation operators is developed. Firstly, the induced generalized interval neutrosophic hybrid arithmetic averaging (IGINHAA) operator and the induced generalized interval neutrosophic hybrid geometric mean (IGINHGM) operator are proposed, w...

The VIKOR method was introduced as a Multi-Attribute Decision Making (MADM) method to solve discrete decision-making problems with incommensurable and conflicting criteria. This method focuses on ranking and selecting from a set of alternatives based on the particular measure of “closeness” to the “ideal” solution. The multi-criteria measure for compromise ranking is developed from the l−p metr...

Recently, the TODIM$^1$(an acronym in Portuguese of interactive and multi-criteria decision making) method has attracted increasing attention and many researchers have extended it to deal with multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems under different situations. However, none of them can be used to handle MADM problems with positive, independent, and negative interactions among attribu...

In multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problem, a decision maker (DM) has to choose the best alternative that satisfies the evaluation criteria among a set of candidate solutions. It is generally hard to find an alternative that meets all the criteria simultaneously, so a good compromise solution is preferred. The VIKOR method was developed for multi-criteria optimization of complex syste...

Motivated by intuitionistic fuzzy sets and fzzy linguistic approach, this article proposes the concept of linguistic intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (LIFNs) where membership and and nonmembership are represented as linguistic terms. In order to process the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) with LIFNs, we introduce the linguistic score index and linguistic accuracy index of the LIFN. Simult...

In order to provide ubiquitous access for the users, future generation network integrate a multitude of radio access technologies (RAT’S) which can interoperate between them. However, the most challenging problem is the selection of an optimal radio access network, in terms of quality of service anywhere at anytime. This paper proposes a novel ranking algorithm, which combines multi attribute d...

In the forthcoming heterogeneous wireless environment, the mobility management of users roaming between different wireless access technologies is a challenging and important technical issue. New mobile devices such as netbooks, smartphones and tablets allow users to perform vertical handoffs among different wireless networks. The multiple attribute decision making (MADM) methods are suitable to...

Hesitant fuzzy set (HFS), which can be accurately and perfectly described in terms of the opinions of decision makers, is considered as a powerful tool to express uncertain information in the process of multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems. The core of the HFS is the hesitant fuzzy element (HFE).This paper developed a method, which using the interval probabilistic hesitant fuzzy elem...
