This paper is devoted to present Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method for multi-attribute group decision making under rough neutrosophic environment. The concept of rough neutrosophic set is a powerful mathematical tool to deal with uncertainty, indeterminacy and inconsistency. In this paper, a new approach for multi-attribute group decision making prob...

In this paper, we develop an interactive method for multiple attribute group decision making under fuzzy environment. The method can be used in situations where the information about attribute weights is partly known, the weights of decision makers are expressed in exact numerical values or triangular fuzzy numbers, and the attribute values are triangular fuzzy numbers. The method transforms fu...

In view of the multi-attribute decision-making problem that the attribute values are grey multi-source heterogeneous data, a decision-making method based on kernel and greyness degree is proposed. The definitions of kernel and greyness degree of an extended grey number in a grey multi-source heterogeneous data sequence are given. On this basis, we construct the kernel vector and greyness degree...

A decision making approach which combines multi-attribute decision making techniques with expert systems is described in the paper. In this approach, knowledge about a particular decision making problem is represented in the form of tree-structured criteria and decision rules. Decision making is supported by an expert system shell. In the paper, the discussion is mainly concentrated on the part...

Most of data in Multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems are changeable rather than constant and stable. Therefore, sensitivity analysis after problem solving can effectively contribute to making accurate decisions. In this paper, we offer a new method for sensitivity analysis in multi-attribute decision making problems in which if the weights of one attribute changes, then we can determ...

The layout design problem is a strategic issue and has a significant impact on the efficiency of a manufacturing system. Much of the existing layout design literature that uses a surrogate function for flow distance or for simplified objectives may be entrapped into local optimum; and subsequently lead to a poor layout design due to the multiple-attribute decision making (MADM) nature of a layo...

Trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TrIFNs) express abundant and flexible information in a suitable manner and  are very useful to depict the decision information in the procedure of decision making. In this paper, some new aggregation operators, such as, trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy weighted power harmonic mean (TrIFWPHM) operator, trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted po...

This research is aimed to build a Clinical Group Decision Support System model that is used to diagnose the mental disorder. This model makes use of the experts’ competence to give their preferences for some features related with the kinds of mental disorder. The knowledge base is built based on those preferences through preference aggregation process using Fuzzy MultiAttribute Decision Making ...
