Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) is one of the best candidate network selection methods used for Vertical Handover Decision (VHD) in heterogeneous wireless networks (4G). Selection of the network in MADM is predominantly decided by two steps, i.e., attribute normalization and weight calculation. This dependency in MADM results in an unreliable network selection for handover, and in a r...

Abstract. This paper introduces the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy dominance matrix (IFDM) for solving multi attribute decision making (MADM) problems in intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets. during decision making problems, dominance of one expert over others play an important role to find out the optimal alternatives. We have proposed an algorithm approach to solve MADM problems using IFDM. Finall...

Recently, the TODIM has been used to solve multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems. The single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs) are useful tools to depict the uncertainty of the MADM. In this paper, we will extend the TODIM method to the MADM with the single-valued neutrosophic numbers (SVNNs). Firstly, the definition, comparison, and distance of SVNNs are briefly presented, and the ...

The supplier selection process attracted a lot of attention in the business management literature. This process takes into consideration several quantitative and qualitative variables and is usually modeled as a multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problem. A recognized shortcoming in the literature of classical MADM methods is that they don’t permit the identification of interdependencies am...

the sensitivity analysis for multi-attribute decision making (madm) problems is important for two reasons: first, the decision matrix as the source of the results of a decision problem is inaccurate because it sorts the alternatives in each criterion inaccurately. second, the decision maker may change his opinions in a time period because of changes in the importance of the criteria and in the ...

infrastructure development being the major construction activity undertaken with the support of the government to eradicate poor transport infrastructure, to cater to ever-increasing population, to reduce the usage of own vehicle and environmental impact thereof, the concept of mass rapid transit system came into existence. among the various mass rapid transit system modes, metro rail construct...

Interavl type-2 fuzzy numbers (IT2FNs) are used in many real problems such as multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems, to model the opinions/judgments of experts. This paper, using centroid points and uncertainty degrees of IT2FNs, presents a new method to rank them. Also, we present new methods based on Choquet integral and various types of Power average to aggregate a set of IT2FNs...

The decision making problem with interval numbers is an important topic of uncertain multiple attribute decision making. A difficulty to solve the interval decision making problems is the ranking method of interval numbers, because among the interval numbers exist cross, it’s difficult to ranking the alternatives directly. This paper studied how to make use of the traditional method for certain...

this paper proposes a method for ranking decision making units (dmus) using some of the multiple criteria decision making / multiple attribute decision making          (mcdm /madm) techniques, namely, interval analytic hierarchy process (iahp)          and the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (topsis).          since the efficiency score of unity is assigned to ...

With respect to multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems in which the attribute values take the form of hesitant fuzzy elements, the traditional grey relational projection (GRP) method is extended to solve multiple attribute decision making problems under hesitant fuzzy environment. Based on the hesitant fuzzy decision matrix provided by decision makers, all feasible alternatives are ...
