In this study, we first introduce the fuzzy sets, soft sets, fuzzy soft sets and their related properties. We then present the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) that is one of classical Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) methods. We also present the Grey Relation Method. In the main part of this study, we extend the TOPSIS method on the fuzzy soft se...

Personalized recommendation service helping users to target the interesting information from the excessive information set has been widely concerned. In this paper, we firstly propose a new method named Modified TOPSIS Method utilizing the Improved Gray Correlation Analysis Method. Then, we present a new personalized recommendation technique based on the Modified TOPSIS Method. Finally, the ver...

− In this paper, we first briefly present conventional TOPSIS method developed by Hwang and Yoon[10, 19] as a multi-criteria decision making technique. We then give a group decision making method based on TOPSIS method under fuzzy soft environment, and finally give an application of proposed method to show operation and effectiveness of method.

The purpose of this article is twofold: first to introduce a multi attribute decision making model for radio frequency identification system consisting of four main criteria and five alternatives, and second to develop and solve the proposed fuzzy TOPSIS problem. Author presented an effective fuzzy multi-criteria method based upon the fuzzy model and the concepts of positive ideal and negative ...

Technique for Order preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is a Multi Attribute DecisionMaking (MADM) technique employed in diverse disciplines for the prioritization of alternative options/solutions to a problem. Test vector compaction for analog fault detection is a field which is witnessing continuous growth and experimentation. This study suggests a novel TOPSIS-based approach ...

Supplier selection, in real situation, is affected by several qualitative and quantitative factors and is one of the most important activities of purchasing department. Since at the time of evaluating suppliers against the criteria or factors, decision makers (DMS) do not have precise, exact and complete information, supplier selection becomes more difficult. In this case, Grey theory helps us ...

Ranking competing alternatives in terms of their overall performance with respect to some criterions in fuzzy environment is possible by the use of fuzzy TOPSIS methodology using interval-valued fuzzy-sets concepts. This author presents an effective fuzzy multi-criteria method based upon the fuzzy model and the concepts of positive ideal and negative ideal solution points for prioritizing alter...

In this paper we propose a fuzzy TOPSIS (Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Idea Solution) model using O(m, n)-Trapezoidal Type Fuzzy Number (O(m,n)-Tr.T.F.N.) and possibility theory. An application in the form of an example to the vendor selection problem in supply chain management is presented towards the end of the paper to highlight the salient points in the proposed possibili...
