Novel Method

With respect to the characteristics of fuzziness, complexity and uncertainty for many group-decision making problems in real world, the paper proposes a novel method based on the interval grey linguistic variables hybrid weighted harmonic aggregation operators to solve the multiple attribute group decision making problems in which the attribute values and the weights take the form of the interval grey linguistic variables. In the approach, the relative concepts and the operation rules of interval grey linguistic variables are defined, and some operators (such as interval grey linguistic weighted harmonic aggregation (IGLWHA) operator, interval grey linguistic ordered weighted harmonic aggregation (IGLOWHA) operator, and interval grey linguistic hybrid weighted harmonic aggregation (IGLHWHA) operator) are proposed to solve the group decision making problems. The computational results from an illustrative example have shown that the proposed approach is feasible and effective for the group-decision making problems.

Decision Elements

We investigate multiple criteria group decision-making problems in which there are priority relationships between the decision elements (criteria and experts), and decision information provided by decision makers takes the form of multigranular uncertain linguistic information. Firstly, some operational laws and possibility degree of multi-granular uncertain linguistic variables are introduced. Then, some new linguistic aggregation operators based on the prioritized aggregation operator, such as the multigranular uncertain linguistic prioritized weighted average (MULPWA) operator and the multigranular uncertain linguistic prioritized ordered weighted average (MULPOWA) operator, are developed and their desirable properties are studied. The prominent characteristics of these proposed operators are that they can aggregate directly the uncertain linguistic variables whose values form the linguistic term sets with different granularities and convey the prioritization phenomenon among the aggregated arguments. Furthermore, based on the MULPWA and MULPOWA operators, an approach to deal with multiple criteria group decision-making problems under multi-granular uncertain linguistic environments is developed. Finally, a practical example is provided to illustrate the multiple criteria group decision-making process.

Consider the various types of uncertain preference information provided by the decision makers and the importance of determining the associated weights for the aggregation operator, the multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) methods based on some dependent interval 2-tuple linguistic aggregation operators are proposed in this paper. Firstly some operational laws and possibility degree of interval 2-tuple linguistic variables are introduced. Then, we develop a dependent interval 2-tuple weighted averaging (DITWA) operator and a dependent interval 2-tuple weighted geometric (DITWG) operator, in which the associated weights only depend on the aggregated interval 2-tuple arguments and can relieve the influence of unfair arguments on the aggregated results by assigning low weights to them. Based on the DITWA and the DITWG operators, some approaches for multiple attribute group decision making with interval 2-tuple linguistic information are proposed. Finally, an illustrative example is given to demonstrate the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed approaches.

Magdm Problems

In this paper, we consider multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems in which the attribute values take the form of intuitionistic uncertain linguistic variables. Based on Hamacher operations, we developed several Hamacher aggregation operators, which generalize the arithmetic aggregation operators and geometric aggregation operators, and extend the algebraic aggregation operators and Einstein aggregation operators. A number of special cases for the two operators with respect to the parameters are discussed in detail. Also, we developed an intuitionistic uncertain linguistic generalized Hamacher hybrid weighted average operator to reflect the importance degrees of both the given intuitionistic uncertain linguistic variables and their ordered positions. Based on the generalized Hamacher aggregation operator, we propose a method for MAGDM for intuitionistic uncertain linguistic sets. Finally, a numerical example and comparative analysis with related decision making methods are provided to illustrate the practicality and feasibility of the proposed method.

In this paper, we develop some new aggregation operators with pure linguistic information including the uncertain pure linguistic weighted geometric mean (UPLWGM) operator, the induced uncertain pure linguistic ordered weighted geometric mean (IUPLOWGM) operator, and the induced uncertain pure linguistic hybrid geometric mean (IUPLHGM) operator. These developed aggregation operators are very suitable to deal with the situation where the input arguments are represented in uncertain pure linguistic variables. Also, as a more general type of aggregation operator, the IUPLHGM operator is based on the UPLWGM and IUPLOWGM operators, and it can reflect the importance degrees of both the given uncertain linguistic variables and their ordered positions. Moreover, in the situations where the information about all the attribute weights, the attribute values and the expert weights are expressed in the form of linguistic labels variables, we develop an approach based on the IUPLHGM operator for multiple attribute group decision making with pure linguistic information. Finally, an application of the developed approach to group decision making problem regarding the selection of investments is given. Also, we present a comparative analysis with other related decision making methods to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed approach.

Based on the extended triangular norm, several new operational laws for linguistic variables and uncertain linguistic variables (ULVs) are defined. To avoid the limitations of existing linguistic aggregation operators, a series of extended uncertain linguistic (UL) geometric aggregation operators are proposed on the basis of the extended triangular norm. In addition, a multiattribute group decision making (MAGDM) method dealing with UL information is developed based on the extended UL geometric aggregation operators. Finally, an example is presented to show the efficiency of the developed approach in solving MAGDM problems.

Linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy (LPF) set is an efficacious technique to comprehensively represent uncertain assessment information by combining the Pythagorean fuzzy numbers and linguistic variables. In this paper, we define several novel essential operations of LPF numbers based upon Einstein operations and discuss several relations between these operations. For solving the LPF numbers fusion problem, several LPF aggregation operators, including LPF Einstein weighted averaging (LPFEWA) operator, LPF Einstein weighted geometric (LPFEWG) operator and LPF Einstein hybrid operator, are propounded; the prominent characteristics of these operators are investigated as well. Furthermore, a multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) approach is presented on the basis of the developed operators under an LPF environment. Ultimately, two application cases are utilized to demonstrate the practicality and feasibility of the developed decision approach and the comparison analysis is provided to manifest the merits of it.

Ambiguous and uncertain facts can be handled using a hesitant 2-tuple linguistic set (H2TLS), an important expansion of the 2-tuple linguistic set. The vagueness and uncertainty of data can be grabbed by using aggregation operators. Therefore, aggregation operators play an important role in computational processes to merge the information provided by decision makers (DMs). Furthermore, the aggregation operator is a potential mechanism for merging multisource data which is synonymous with cooperative preference. The aggregation operators need to be studied and analyzed from various perspectives to represent complex choice situations more readily and capture the diverse experiences of DMs. In this manuscript, we propose some valuable operational laws for H2TLS. These new operational laws work through the individual aggregation of linguistic words and the collection of translation parameters. We introduced a hesitant 2-tuple linguistic weighted average (H2TLWA) operator to solve multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) problems. We also define hesitant 2-tuple linguistic Bonferroni mean (H2TLBM) operator, hesitant 2-tuple linguistic geometric Bonferroni mean (H2TLGBM) operator, hesitant 2-tuple linguistic Heronian mean (H2TLHM) operator, and a hesitant 2-tuple linguistic geometric Heronian mean (H2TLGHM) operator based on the novel operational laws proposed in this paper. We define the aggregation operators for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, scalar multiplication, power and complement with their respective properties. An application example and comparison analysis were examined to show the usefulness and practicality of the work.
