Large-scale group decision-making (LS-GDM) problems are common in the daily life of human beings. Both information fusion and computing with words (CWW) technologies LS-GDM suffer from challenges. In current research, a proportional hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (PHFLTS) will be applied to capture preferences sub-groups LS-GDM, which decreases lost processes. Novel semantic representation ...

Hesitant fuzzy sets are very useful to deal with group decision making problems when experts have a hesitation among several possible memberships for an element to a set. During the evaluating process in practice, however, these possible memberships may be not only crisp values in [0,1], but also interval values. In this study, we extend hesitant fuzzy sets by intuitionistic fuzzy sets and refe...

Interval-valued hesitant fuzzy sets (IVHFS), as a kind of decision information presenting tool which is more complicated and scientific elastic, have an important practical value in multiattribute decision-making. There little research on the uncertainty IVHFS. The existing measure cannot distinguish different IVHFS some contexts. In my opinion, for IVHFS, there should exist two types uncertain...

A new hesitant fuzzy set (HFS)-ELECTRE for multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) problems is developed in this paper. In real-world applications, the decision makers (DMs)’ opinions are often hesitant for decision problems; thus, considering the exact data is difficult. To address the issue, the DMs’ judgments can be expressed as linguistic variables that are converted into the HFSs, con...

The definition of hesitant interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (HIVIFSs) is developed based on interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) and hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs). Then, some operations on HIVIFSs are introduced in detail, and their properties are further discussed. In addition, some hesitant interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy number aggregation operators based on t-conorm...

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...

As a link between classical soft sets and hesitant fuzzy sets, the notion of hesitant fuzzy soft sets is introduced and applied to a decision making problem in the papers by Babitha and John (2013) and Wang et al. (2014). The aim of this paper is to apply hesitant fuzzy soft set for dealing with several kinds of theories in BCK/BCI-algebras. The notions of hesitant fuzzy soft subalgebras and (c...

Based on linguistic term sets and hesitant fuzzy sets, the concept of hesitant fuzzy linguistic sets was introduced. The focus of this paper is the multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) problems in which the criteria are in different priority levels and the criteria values take the form of hesitant fuzzy linguistic numbers (HFLNs). A new approach to solving these problems is proposed, which is b...

The use of interval-valued hesitant fuzzy sets (IVHFS) can aid decision-makers in evaluating a variable using multiple interval numbers, making it valuable tool for addressing decision-making problems. However, fails to obtain information with greyness. grey set (GFS) improve this problem but studies on have lost the advantages IVHFS. In order accuracy and more reasonable results, is important ...
