Abstract A notion for distance between hesitant fuzzy data is given. Using this new distance notion, we propose the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution for hesitant fuzzy sets and a new approach in modelling uncertainties. An illustrative example is constructed to show the feasibility and practicality of the new method.

In practice, picture hesitant fuzzy sets (PHFSs) combining the picture fuzzy sets (PFSs) and hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs) are suitable to represent more complex multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) information. The power heronian (PH) operators, which have the merits of power average (PA) and heronian mean (HM) operators, are extended to the environment of PHFSs in this article. First, some algebraic operations of picture hesitant fuzzy numbers (PHFNs), comparative functions and distance measure are introduced. Second, two novel operators, called as picture hesitant fuzzy weighted power heronian (PHFWPH) operator and picture hesitant fuzzy weighted geometric power heronian (PHFWGPH) operator, are defined. Meanwhile, some desirable characteristics and special instances of two operators are investigated as well. Third, a novel MCDM approach applying the proposed PH operators to handle PHFNs is explored. Lastly, to indicate the effectiveness of this novel method, an example regarding MCDM problem is conducted, as well as sensitivity and comparison analysis.

Hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs), an extension of fuzzy sets, are considered to be useful in solving decision making problems where decision makers are unable to choose between several values when expressing their preferences. The purpose of this paper is to develop two hesitant fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods based on prospect theory (PT). First, the novel component-wise ordering method for two hesitant fuzzy numbers (HFNs) is defined; however, this method does not consider the length of the two HFNs. Second, by utilizing the directed Hausdorff distance between two imprecise point sets, the generalized hesitant Hausdorff distance is developed, which overcomes the shortcomings of the existing distance measures. Third, based on the proposed comparison method and distance, as well as PT, the extended TODIM and Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE) approaches are developed in order to solve MCDM problems with hesitant fuzzy information. Finally, a practical example is provided to illustrate the pragmatism and effectiveness of the proposed approaches. Sensitivity and comparison analyses are also conducted using the same example. The findings indicate that the proposed methods do not require complicated computation procedures, yet still yield a reasonable and credible solution.

Hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs), which were generalized from fuzzy sets, constrain the membership degree of an element to be a set of possible values between zero and one; furthermore, if two or more decision-makers select the same value, it is only counted once. However, a situation where the evaluation value is repeated several times differs from one where the value appears only once. Multi-hesitant fuzzy sets (MHFSs) can deal effectively with a case where some values are repeated more than once in a MHFS. In this paper, the novel convex combination of multi-hesitant fuzzy numbers (MHFNs) is introduced. Some aggregation operators based on convex operation, such as generalized multi-hesitant fuzzy ordered weighted average (GMHFOWA) operator, generalized multi-hesitant fuzzy hybrid weighted average (GMHFHWA) operator, generalized multi-hesitant fuzzy prioritized weighted average (GMHFPWA) operator and generalized multi-hesitant fuzzy Choquet integral weighted average (GMHFCIWA) operator, are developed and corresponding properties are discussed in detail. Then, based on the proposed aggregation operators, a novel approach for multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem is proposed for ranking alternatives. Finally, an example is provided to verify the developed approach and demonstrate its validity and feasibility and the study is supported by a sensitivity analysis and a comparison analysis.
