The problem of selection breakthrough inventions to be commercialized (SBIC) is significantly important for innovative enterprises. As the processes commercializing are time-consuming and high-cost, enterprises have tradeoff among all possible determine which should commercialized. SBIC refers a process in multiple experts invited evaluate potential from aspects based on their assessments, chos...

abstract introduction: psychodrama, as a form of art therapy, helps people to enact and use role-plays for a specific problem, rather than just talking about it, in an effort to review the problem, gain feedback from group members, find appropriate solutions, and practice them for their life. the current paper aims to investigate the effectiveness of psychodrama therapy on the reduction of depr...

In this article, a novel CoCoSo (Combined compromise solution) method based on Frank operational laws and softmax function is investigated to handle multiple attribute group decision-making problems for T-spherical fuzzy sets. We extend operations in environment develop series of aggregation operators, including (T-SFFS) average geometric their weighted forms, i.e., T-SFFS averaging (T-SFFSWA) ...

Existing intuitionistic linguistic variables can describe the linguistic information of both the truth/membership and falsity/non-membership degrees, but it cannot represent the indeterminate and inconsistent linguistic information. To deal with the issue, this paper originally proposes the concept of a linguistic neutrosophic number (LNN), which is characterized independently by the truth, ind...

Measuring opinion similarity between participants is an important strategy to reduce the chance of making and applying inappropriate decisions in multi-criteria group decision making applications. Due to the smallsized opinion data and the varieties of opinion representations, measuring the similarity between opinions is difficult and has not been well-studied in developing decision support. Co...

With respect to different confidence on evaluation result from different decision-makers to the hybrid multi-attribute with risk, an approach to group decisionmaking based on prospect theory and projection theory is proposed. Firstly, a tuple is established to record the evaluation result and the hybrid decision information. Then the element of the tuple is changed into a single triangular fuzz...

In order to process the assessment information more exactly and make the decision result more understandable in linguistic setting, a hybrid approach integrating OWA aggregation into VIKOR for multiple attributive group decision making in 2-tuple linguistic setting is proposed. In the method, the OWA is used to aggregate the linguistic assessment information. According to the ideas of VIKOR, th...
