a new approach to define the similarity measure betweeninterval-valued fuzzy sets is presented. the proposed approach isbased on a weighted measure in which the normalized similaritiesbetween lower functions and also between upper functions arecombined by a weight parameter. the properties of this similaritymeasure are investigated. it is shown that, the proposed measurehas some advantages in c...

Probabilistic hesitant fuzzy set (PHFS) is a fruitful concept that adds to hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) the term of probability which is able to retain more information than the usual HFS. Here, we demonstrate that the existing definitions of PHFS are not still reasonable, and therefore, we first improve the PHFS definition. By endowing the set and algebraic operations with a new re-definition of P...

interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (ivifss) are widely used to handle uncertainty and imprecision in decision making. however, in more complicated environment, it is difficult to express the uncertain information by an ivifs with considering the decision-making preference. hence, this paper proposes a group generalized interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy soft set (g-givifss) which conta...

As meteorological disaster systems are large complex systems, disaster reduction programs must be based on risk analysis. Consequently, judgment by an expert based on his or her experience (also known as qualitative evaluation) is an important link in meteorological disaster risk assessment. In some complex and non-procedural meteorological disaster risk assessments, a hesitant fuzzy linguistic...

Throughout the present manuscript, we are going to introduce a novel group emergency decision-making technique in which the application of prospect theory explains the psychological behaviour of the decision maker who is affected by the hesitancy and uncertainty of cognition in decision making problems.\Instead of usual aggregation procedure, we implement here a new fusion technique that ...

Consistency has always been a hot topic in the study of decision-making based on preference relations. This paper focuses consistency hesitant fuzzy linguistic relations (HFLPRs). Firstly, new definition additive HFLPRs is given. Secondly, to examine whether an HFLPR additively consistent, two equivalent programming models are constructed. Thirdly, for inconsistent HFLPRs, corresponding improve...

The sustainable supplier selection process requires consideration of multi-criteria evaluations. In recent years, to prevent the hesitation of different linguistic expressions by the decision makers, and to help the selection of the best one as the solution of different alternatives, researchers have been using several methods such as hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets (HFLTS), hesitant fuzzy ...

Having a baby brings new changes and challenges in parents’ life. There is list of things which are required order to provide comfortable life for the baby. Since most people have limited economic resources, determination be bought becomes an important decision parents. Moreover, number alternatives items shopping (bed, clothes, feeding equipment, stroller, etc.) very much. Therefore, making ch...
