The study of coal consumption has become a focus academic attention due to ecological and environmental concerns. This proposed method evaluate sustainability for by using multiple-attribute decision-making (MADM) model. data used are from the China Statistical Yearbook Energy over years. MADM model consists attributes (standards), their importance weights, alternatives. comprehensive evaluatio...

The present context of the electric industry, characterized by competitive markets, privatization, and regulatory of technical requirements forces the power utilities to optimize their asset management practices and develop the requisite decision plans techno-economically. Practically approaching, this paper devises a new support tool based on a multiattribute decision making (MADM) framework i...

A theoretical structure for multiattribute decision making is presented, based on a dynamical system for interactions in a neural network incorporating affective and rational variables. This enables modeling of problems that elude two prevailing economic decision theories: subjective expected utility theory and prospect theory. The network is unlike some that fit economic data by choosing optim...

This paper is concerned with procedures for ranking discrete alternatives when their values are evaluated precisely on multiple attributes and the attribute weights are known only to obey ordinal relations. There are a variety of situations where it is reasonable to use ranked weights, and there have been various techniques developed to deal with ranked weights and arrive at a choice or rank al...

The research described in this paper addresses issues of designing a computationally effective decision support system which can assist a decision maker in making an optimal choice between several discrete alternatives. A new hybrid approach to multi-attribute decision making under uncertainty incorporating Neural Networks and the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence is introduced. A neural netwo...

Based on the advantages of cloud theory and connection number approach in handling uncertain information, this paper established a new quaternary using domain interval corresponding to centroid model’s expectation curve. Consequently, based model transformation between qualitative quantitative uncertainties, study suggests describing information more precisely by combining numbers with three di...

We consider a decision problem where a group of individuals evaluates multiattribute alternatives. We explore the minimal required agreements that are sufficient to specify the group utility function. A surprising result is that, under some conditions, a bilateral agreement among pairs of individuals on a single attribute is sufficient to derive the multiattribute group utility. The bilateral a...
