Abstract. We present a new aggregation operator called the generalized ordered weighted proportional averaging (GOWPA) operator based on an optimal model with penalty function, which extends the ordered weighted geometric averaging (OWGA) operator. We investigate some properties and different families of the GOWPA operator. We also generalize the GOWPA operator. The key advantage of the GOWPA o...

Intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) have attracted more and more scholars’ attention due to their powerfulness in expressing vagueness and uncertainty. In the course of decision making with IFSs, aggregation operators play a very important role since they can be used to synthesize multidimensional evaluation values represented as intuitionistic fuzzy values into collective values. This paper propo...

A crucial issue related to the Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy operators is how to determine their weights. Various weighted methods have been proposed last decades, but it seems that there is no investigation on the monotonous and proportioninvariant properties, which is decisive for aggregation and comparison of Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy values in group decision making. In this paper,...

The ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator and its associated weight vectors have been both theoretically practically verified to be powerful effective in modeling the optimism/pessimism preference of decision makers. When several different OWA are offered, it is necessary develop certain techniques aggregate them into one vector. This study firstly details motivating examples show necessity...

A new method is proposed to solve the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems with the trapezoid fuzzy linguistic variables ( Vs TFL ) based on the trapezoid fuzzy linguistic hybrid harmonic averaging (TFLHHA ) operator. To begin with, this paper reviews the concept and operational rules of the Vs TFL , the calculation method of the possibility degree with Vs TFL , and the comparison...

In this work, we present several ways to obtain different types of weighting triangles, due to these types characterize some interesting properties of Extended Ordered Weighted Averaging operators, EOWA, and Extended Quasi–linear Weighted Mean, EQLWM, as well as of their reverse functions. We show that any quantifier determines an EOWA operator which is also an Extended Aggregation Function, EA...

In this article we define some aggregation operators for bipolar-valued hesitant fuzzy sets. These operations include bipolar-valued hesitant fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (BPVHFOWA) operator, bipolar-valued hesitant fuzzy ordered weighted geometric (BPVHFOWG) operator and their generalized forms. We also define hybrid aggregation operators and their generalized forms and solved a decision-m...

In this paper, the concept of the ordered weighted averaging operator is applied to define a model which unifies and generalizes several inequality measures. For a location x, the value of the new objective function is the ordered weighted average of the absolute deviations from the average distance from the facilities to the location x. Several kinds of networks are studied: cyclic, tree and p...
