CODAS methods for multiple attribute group decision making with interval-valued bipolar uncertain linguistic information and their application to risk assessment of Chinese enterprisesā overseas mergers and acquisitions
Bipolar fuzzy set theory has been successfully applied in some
areas, but there are situations in real life which canāt be represented by bipolar fuzzy sets. However, all the existing approaches
are unsuitable to describe the positive and negative membership
degree an element to an uncertain linguistic label to have an
interval value, which can reflect the decision makerās confidence
level when they are making an evaluation. In order to overcome
this limit, we propose the definition of interval-valued bipolar
uncertain linguistic sets (IVBULSs) to solve this problem based on
the bipolar fuzzy sets and uncertain linguistic information processing models. In this paper, we extend the traditional information aggregating operators to interval-valued bipolar uncertain
linguistic sets (IVBULSs) and propose some IVBUL aggregating
operators. Then, we extend the CODAS method to solve multiple
attribute group decision making (MAGDM) issues with interval-valued bipolar uncertain linguistic numbers (IVBULNs) based on
these operators. An example for risk assessment of Chinese enterprisesā overseas mergers and acquisitions (M&As) is given to illustrate the proposed methodology
The generalized dice similarity measures for multiple attribute decision making with hesitant fuzzy linguistic information
In this paper, we shall present some novel Dice similarity measures of hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets and the generalized Dice similarity measures of hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets and indicate that the Dice similarity measures and asymmetric measures (projection measures) are the special cases of the generalized Dice similarity measures in some parameter values. Then, we propose the generalized Dice similarity measures-based multiple attribute decision making models with hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets. Finally, a practical example concerning the evaluation of the quality of movies is given to illustrate the applicability and advantage of the proposed generalized Dice similarity measure

An Extended VIKOR Method for Multiple Criteria Group Decision Making with Triangular Fuzzy Neutrosophic Numbers
In this article, we combine the original VIKOR model with a triangular fuzzy neutrosophic set to propose the triangular fuzzy neutrosophic VIKOR method. In the extended method, we use the triangular fuzzy neutrosophic numbers (TFNNs) to present the criteria values in multiple criteria group decision making (MCGDM) problems. Firstly, we summarily introduce the fundamental concepts, operation formulas and distance calculating method of TFNNs. Then we review some aggregation operators of TFNNs. Thereafter, we extend the original VIKOR model to the triangular fuzzy neutrosophic environment and introduce the calculating steps of the TFNNs VIKOR method, our proposed method which is more reasonable and scientific for considering the conflicting criteria. Furthermore, a numerical example for potential evaluation of emerging technology commercialization is presented to illustrate the new method, and some comparisons are also conducted to further illustrate advantages of the new method
Induced hesitant 2-tuple linguistic aggregation operators with application in group decision making
In this article, hesitant 2-tuple linguistic arguments are used to evaluate the group decision making problems which have inter dependent or inter active attributes. Operational laws are developed for hesitant 2-tuple linguistic elements and based on these operational laws hesitant 2- tuple weighted averaging operator and generalized hesitant 2- tuple averaging operator are proposed. Combining Choquet integral with hesitant 2-tuple linguistic information, some new aggregation operators are defined, including the hesitant 2-tuple correlated averaging operator, the hesitant 2-tuple correlated geometric operator and the generalized hesitant 2-tuple correlated averaging operator. These proposed operators successfully manage the correlations among the elements. After investigating the properties of these operators, a multiple attribute decision making method based on these operators, is suggested. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the practicality and feasibility of proposed method
Notes on soft sets and aggregation operators
[EN]Under uncertainty, traditional sets may not be sufficient to represent real-world phenomena, and fuzzy sets can provide a more flexible and natural approach. The concept of fuzzy sets has been widely used in various fields, including artificial intelligence, control theory, decision-making, and pattern recognition. Fuzzy sets can also be combined with other mathematical tools, such as probability theory, to provide a more comprehensive approach to uncertainty management. In these notes, we explore the concept of fuzzy sets under uncertainty, and their applications in various fields. We discuss the fundamental concepts of fuzzy sets, including fuzzy membership functions, fuzzy operations, and fuzzy relations. We also examine different types of uncertainty, including epistemic and aleatory uncertainty, and how fuzzy sets can be used to model and manage uncertainty in these cases
Algorithms for probabilistic uncertain linguistic multiple attribute group decision making based on the GRA and CRITIC method: application to location planning of electric vehicle charging stations
Electric vehicles (EVs) could be regarded as one of the most
innovative and high technologies all over the world to cope with
the fossil fuel energy resource crisis and environmental pollution
issues. As the initiatory task of EV charging station (EVCS) construction,
site selection play an important part throughout the
whole life cycle, which is deemed to be multiple attribute group
decision making (MAGDM) problem involving many experts and
many conflicting attributes. In this paper, a grey relational analysis
(GRA) method is investigated to tackle the probabilistic uncertain
linguistic MAGDM in which the attribute weights are completely
unknown information. Firstly, the definition of the expected value
is then employed to objectively derive the attribute weights
based on the CRiteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation
(CRITIC) method. Then, the optimal alternative is chosen by calculating
largest relative relational degree from the probabilistic
uncertain linguistic positive ideal solution (PULPIS) which considers
both the largest grey relational coefficient from the PULPIS and the
smallest grey relational coefficient from the probabilistic uncertain
linguistic negative ideal solution (PULNIS). Finally, a numerical
case for site selection of electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) is
designed to illustrate the proposed method. The result shows the
approach is simple, effective and easy to calculate
Pythagorean fuzzy Muirhead mean operators in multiple attribute decision making for evaluating of emerging technology commercialization
In todayās world, with the advancement of technology, several emerging technologies are coming. Faced with massive emerging technologies which are the component of the technology pool, how to identify the commercial potential of emerging technologies in theory and practice is an important problem. The scientific approach to the selection of these emerging technologies is one of the main objectives of the research. In this paper, we extend Muirhead mean (MM) operator and dual MM (DMM) operator to process the Pythagorean fuzzy numbers (PFNs) and then to solve the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems. Firstly, we develop some Pythagorean fuzzy Muirhead mean operators by extending MM and DMM operators to Pythagorean fuzzy information. Then, we prove some properties and discuss some special cases with respect to the parameter vector. Moreover, we present some new methods to deal with MADM problems with the PFNs based on the proposed MM and DMM operators. Finally, we verify the validity and reliability of our methods by using an application example for potential evaluation of emerging technology commercialization, and analyze the advantages of our methods by comparing with other existing method
