An Adaptive Quantum-based Multi-criterion Evolutionary Algorithm called AQMEA is a new paradigm of decision making for complex systems. Quantum-based algorithms utilize a new representation for the smallest unit of information, called a Q-bit, for the probabilistic representation that is based on the concept of qubits. Evolutionary computing with Q-bit chromosomes has a better characteristic of...

The main purpose of this paper is to provide a method of multi-criteria decision-making that combines simplified neutrosophic linguistic sets and normalized Bonferroni mean operator to address the situations where the criterion values take the form of simplified neutrosophic linguistic numbers and the criterion weights are known. Firstly, the new operations and comparison method for simplified ...

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...

Because of the complexity of decision-making environment, the uncertainty of fuzziness and the uncertainty of grey maybe coexist in the problems of multi-attribute group decision making. In this paper, we study the problems of multi-attribute group decision making with hybrid grey attribute data (the precise values, interval numbers and linguistic fuzzy variables coexist, and each attribute val...

Pigeons responded in a perceptual categorization task with six different stimuli (shades of gray), three of which were to be classified as "light" or "dark", respectively. Reinforcement probability for correct responses was varied from 0.2 to 0.6 across blocks of sessions and was unequal for correct light and dark responses. Introduction of a new reinforcement contingency resulted in a biphasic...

rapid technological and economic growth over the last several decades has changed human lives and made modern society face complex decision making problems. these kinds of problems are characterized by incommensurate and conflicting criteria or objectives such as cost, reliability, performance, safety and productivity. multi criteria decision making is an approach that can be used to deal compl...

Aiming at stochastic multi-criteria decision problems brought by criterion value with extended grey number, a grey stochastic multi-criteria decision-making method based on Hausdorff distance is proposed. Firstly, definitions, calculation rules and distance formulas of expanded grey number random variables and expectations are given. Then based on grey decision matrix and natural state probabil...
