Intuitionistic Fuzzy Geometric Bonferroni Means and Their Application in Multicriteria Decision Making

As a useful aggregation technique, the Bonferroni mean (BM) can capture the interrelationship between input arguments and has been a hot research topic recently. Based on the classic BM, many BM operators have been proposed and developed, such as the weighted BM, the generalized BM, the intuitionistic fuzzy BM, and so on. However, these BM operators are all based on the averaging mean, which is one of the basic aggregation approaches and focuses on the group opinion and another basic one is the geometric mean, which gives more importance to the individual opinions. To combine with the geometric mean and the BM, in this paper, we propose the geometric BM, the weighted geometric BM, and the generalized weighted geometric BM. These new geometric BMs can reflect the geometric interrelationship between the individual criterion and other criteria and keep the main advantage of BM. Furthermore, we investigate the geometric BMs under the intuitionistic fuzzy environment, which is more common phenomenon in modern life and develop three intuitionistic fuzzy geometric Bonferroni mean operators, i.e., the intuitionistic fuzzy geometric Bonferroni mean (IFGBM), the intuitionistic fuzzy weighted geometric Bonferroni mean (IFWGBM), and the intuitionistic fuzzy generalized weighted geometric Bonferroni mean (IFGWGBM) and study their desirable properties, such as idempotency, commutativity, monotonicity, and boundedness. Finally, on the basis of the IFWGBM and IFGWGBM operators, we propose an approach to multicriteria decision making under the intuitionistic fuzzy environment, and a practical example is provided to illustrate our results.     

Fuzzy Generalized Prioritized Weighted Average Operator and its Application to Multiple Attribute Decision Making

The prioritized weighted average (PWA) operator was originally introduced by Yager. The prominent characteristic of the PWA operator is that it takes into account prioritization among attributes and decision makers. By combining the idea of generalized mean and PWA operator, we propose a new prioritized aggregation operator called fuzzy generalized prioritized weighted average (FGPWA) operator for aggregating triangular fuzzy numbers. The properties of the new aggregation operator are studied out and their special cases are examined. Furthermore, based on the FGPWA operator, an approach to deal with multiple attribute group decision making problems under triangular fuzzy environments is developed. Finally, a practical example is provided to illustrate the multiple attribute group decision making process.

Intuitionistic Fuzzy Power Aggregation Operator Based on Entropy and Its Application in Decision Making

Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) is a generalization of a fuzzy set that can express and process uncertainty much better. There are various averaging operators defined for IFSs. In this paper, a new type of operator called an intuitionistic fuzzy entropy weighted power average ggregation operator is proposed. The entropy among IFSs is taken into consideration to determine the weights. What's more, the similarity is considered to measure the support degree between two elements of the IFS. Compared with other classical power average operators, the proposed operator is completely driven by data and fully takes into account the relationship among values. Finally, an illustrative example of multiple attribute group decision making is presented to show that the proposed operator is effective and practical.

Extended Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets Based on the Hesitant Fuzzy Membership and their Application in Decision Making with Risk Preference

On the basis of the hesitant fuzzy membership, this study proposes the extended intuitionistic fuzzy set (EIFS) and the extended intuitionistic fuzzy number (EIFN) to synthesize the characters of the intuitionistic fuzzy set and the hesitant fuzzy set. We further develop two simplified and applied EIFSs, namely the credible EIFS (C‐EIFS) and the possible EIFS (P‐EIFS), to comprehensively mine the hesitant fuzzy membership information and to avoid the logical difficulty of simultaneously providing the membership and non‐membership in each EIFS or EIFN. Then we investigate the foundations of C‐EIFS and P‐EIFS, including their expressions, operations, functions, differences, and selection rules. The corresponding aggregation operators are also proposed, and the calculation and relationships of these operators are proven. The prominent properties of C‐EIFNs and P‐EIFNs are focused on the boundary and average values, respectively; that is, the C‐EIFN tends to aggregate the extreme information, whereas the P‐EIFN prefers aggregating complete information. Therefore, applying them to decision making with risk preference is suitable, and two risk preference investment cases are provided to demonstrate the applications of these concepts and approaches.

Some q‐Rung Orthopai Fuzzy Bonferroni Mean Operators and Their Application to Multi‐Attribute Group Decision Making

In the real multi‐attribute group decision making (MAGDM), there will be a mutual relationship between different attributes. As we all know, the Bonferroni mean (BM) operator has the advantage of considering interrelationships between parameters. In addition, in describing uncertain information, the eminent characteristic of q‐rung orthopair fuzzy sets (q‐ROFs) is that the sum of the qth power of the membership degree and the qth power of the degrees of non‐membership is equal to or less than 1, so the space of uncertain information they can describe is broader. In this paper, we combine the BM operator with q‐rung orthopair fuzzy numbers (q‐ROFNs) to propose the q‐rung orthopair fuzzy BM (q‐ROFBM) operator, the q‐rung orthopair fuzzy weighted BM (q‐ROFWBM) operator, the q‐rung orthopair fuzzy geometric BM (q‐ROFGBM) operator, and the q‐rung orthopair fuzzy weighted geometric BM (q‐ROFWGBM) operator, then the MAGDM methods are developed based on these operators. Finally, we use an example to illustrate the MAGDM process of the proposed methods. The proposed methods based on q‐ROFWBM and q‐ROFWGBM operators are very useful to deal with MAGDM problems.

A Probabilistic and Decision Attitude Aggregation Operator for Intuitionistic Fuzzy Environment

In this paper, a new operator for aggregation of uncertain information under intuitionistic fuzzy environment is proposed. A novel approach is proposed for the selection of best alternative action in the face of the imprecise probabilities and the complex attitudinal character of the decision makers (DMs). This approach is distinguished with its capacity to accommodate the linguistic specification of probabilities as provided by human experts directly without the need to determine the fuzzy membership grades. The focus is to compute the net payoff for each alternative in the face of uncertain states of nature and DM's attitude. The proposed operator and the approach are illustrated through two real case studies.

Interval‐Valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Multiattribute Group Decision Making Based on Cross Entropy Measure and Choquet Integral

In this paper, a new operator called the arithmetic interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy Choquet aggregation (AIVIFCA) operator is defined. Since interactions between elements might exist in all their combinations, the generalized Shapley AIVIFCA (GSAIVIFCA) operator is introduced. Further, to simplify the complexity of solving a fuzzy measure, the 2‐additive generalized Shapley AIVIFCA (2AGSAIVIFCA) operator is presented. Moreover, a decision procedure to interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy multiattribute group decision making is developed. When the weight vectors on attribute set and expert set are not exactly known, the models for obtaining the optimal fuzzy measures are established by using the defined cross entropy measure and the Shapley function. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the developed procedure.

A Novel Approach for Linguistic Group Decision Making Based on Generalized Interval‐Valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Linguistic Induced Hybrid Operator and TOPSIS

In the multiple attribute linguistic group decision making analysis with interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic information, seeking highly efficient aggregation method and order relation play a crucial role. In this paper, we redefine an interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic variable that considers principal component and propose generalized interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic induced hybrid aggregation (GIVIFLIHA) operator with entropic order‐inducing variable and interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) order relation based on interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic distance measure. Then, some primary properties of the GIVIFLIHA operator are discussed, and a linguistic group decision‐making approach based on GIVIFLIHA operator and interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic TOPSIS order relation is proposed. Finally, a numerical example concerning the investment strategy is given to illustrate the validity and applicability of the proposed method, and then the method is compared with the existing method to further illustrate its flexibility.
