The Maclaurin symmetric mean (MSM) can capture the interrelationship among the multi-input arguments and it also can generalize most of the existing operators. Now MSM has been extended to intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) which can easily express the vague information. However, the operational rules of IFSs used in the extended MSM operator didn’t consider the interaction between the membership function and non-membership function, so there are some weaknesses. In this paper, in order to combine the advantages of the MSM and interaction operational rules of IFSs, we propose the intuitionistic fuzzy interaction Maclaurin symmetric mean (IFIMSM) operator, the intuitionistic fuzzy weighted interaction Maclaurin symmetric mean (IFWIMSM) operator, respectively. Furthermore, we research some desirable properties and some special cases of them. Further, we develop a new method to deal with some multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problems under intuitionistic fuzzy environment based on these operators. Finally, an illustrative example is given to testify the availability of the developed method by comparing with the other existing methods.

In order to solve multiple-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problems under a trapezoid intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic (TIFL) environment and the relationships between multiple input parameters needed, in this paper, we extend the Maclaurin symmetric mean (MSM) operators to TIFL numbers (TIFLNs). Some new aggregation operators are proposed, including the trapezoid intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic Maclaurin symmetric mean (TIFLMSM) operator, trapezoid intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic generalized Maclaurin symmetric mean (TIFLGMSM) operator, trapezoid intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic weighted Maclaurin symmetric mean (TIFLWMSM) operator and trapezoid intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic weighted generalized Maclaurin symmetric mean (TIFLWGMSM) operator. Next, based on the TIFLWMSM and TIFLWGMSM operators, two methods are presented to deal with MAGDM problems. Finally, there is a numerical example to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed approaches.

The Maclaurin symmetric mean (MSM) was originally introduced by Maclaurin. The prominent characteristic of the MSM is that it can capture the interrelationship among the multi-input arguments. However, the researches on MSM are very rare, especially in fuzzy decision making. In this paper, we investigate the MSM operator and extend the MSM operator to interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environment and develop the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy Maclaurin symmetric mean (IVIFMSM) operator. Some desirable properties and special cases of IVIFMSM operator are discussed in detail. Based on IVIFMSM operator, an approach to multiple attribute decision making problems with interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy information is developed. Finally, an illustrative example for online advertising publisher evaluation is given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.

In this paper, we focus on new methods to deal with multiple attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problems and a new comparison law of interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy elements (IVDHFEs). More explicitly, the interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy 2nd-order central polymerization degree (IVDHFCP2) function is introduced, for the case that score values of different IVDHFEs are identical. This function can further compare different IVDHFEs. Then, we develop a series of interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy power Heronian aggregation operators, i.e., the interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy power Heronian mean (IVDHFPHM) operator, the interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy power geometric Heronian mean (IVDHFPGHM) operator, and their weighted forms. Some desirable properties and their special cases are discussed. These proposed operators can simultaneously reflect the interrelationship of aggregated arguments and reduce the influence of unreasonable evaluation values. Finally, two approaches for interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy MAGDM with known or unknown weight information are presented. An illustrative example and comparative studies are given to verify the advantages of our methods. A sensitivity analysis of the decision results is analyzed with different parameters.

AbstractWe propound the idea of the partitioned dual Maclaurin symmetric mean (PDMSM) operator stimulated by the partitioned Maclaurin symmetric mean, suppose that we can partition overall attributes into some portions and the attributes are interrelated in the same portion, but the attributes are not interrelated in different portions. We can deal with decision-making issues using PDMSM operator in the intuitionistic fuzzy environment. We also analysis features and peculiar instance of the PDMSM operator. And, we extend the PDMSM operator to introduce the intuitionistic fuzzy partitioned dual Maclaurin symmetric mean operator and the weighted intuitionistic fuzzy partitioned dual Maclaurin symmetric mean operator. Then, we analysis several characteristics and peculiar instances of the developed operators. A new multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) approach grounded on the established weighted intuitionistic fuzzy partitioned dual Maclaurin symmetric mean operator is propounded; the MADM method is to choose the optimal alternative from several alternatives. Finally, we demonstrate the designed method is more general and effective than existing methods through comparative analysis.

The geometric Bonferroni mean (GBM) can capture the interrelationships between input arguments, which is an important generalization of Bonferroni mean (BM). In this paper, we combine geometric Bonferroni mean (GBM) with the power geometric average (PGA) operator under intuitionistic fuzzy environment and present the intuitionistic fuzzy geometric power Bonferroni mean (IFPGBM) and the weighted intuitionistic fuzzy power geometric Bonferroni mean (WIFPGBM). The desirable properties of these new extensions of Bonferroni mean and their special cases are investigated. We list the detailed steps of multiple attribute group decision making with the developed IFPGBM or WIFPGBM, and give a comparison of the new extensions of Bonferroni mean by this paper with the corresponding existing intuitionistic fuzzy Bonferroni means. Finally, examples are illustrated to show the validity and feasibility of the new approaches.

In this article, we extend the original TODIM (Portuguese acronym for Interactive Multi-Criteria Decision Making) method to the 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic fuzzy environment to propose the 2TLNNs TODIM method. In the extended method, we use 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic numbers (2TLNNs) to present the criteria values in multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems. Firstly, we briefly introduce the definition, operational laws, some aggregation operators and the distance calculating method of 2TLNNs. Then, the calculation steps of the original TODIM model are presented in simplified form. Thereafter, we extend the original TODIM model to the 2TLNNs environment to build the 2TLNNs TODIM model, our proposed method, which is more reasonable and scientific in considering the subjectivity of DM’s behaviors and the dominance of each alternative over others. Finally, a numerical example for the safety assessment of a construction project is proposed to illustrate the new method, and some comparisons are also conducted to further illustrate the advantages of the new method.

Some hybrid aggregation operators have been developed based on linguistic hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy information. The generalized linguistic hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid weighted averaging (GLHIFHWA) operator and the generalized linguistic hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid geometric mean (GLHIFHGM) operator are defined. Some special cases of the new aggregation operators are studied and many existing aggregation operators are special cases of the new operators. A new multiple attribute decision making method based on the new aggregation operators is proposed and a practical numerical example is presented to illustrate the feasibility and practical advantages of the new method.

Two induced aggregation operators with novelly designed TOPSIS order-inducing variables are proposed: Induced Interval-valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Hybrid Averaging (I-IIFHA) operator and Induced Interval-valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Hybrid Geometric (I-IIFHG) operator. The merit of two aggregation operators is that they can consider additional preference information of decision maker’s attitudinal characteristics besides argument-dependent information and argument-independent information. Some desirable properties of I-IIFHA and I-IIFHG are studied and theoretical analysis also shows that they can include a wide range of aggregation operators as special cases. Further, we extend these operators to form a novel group decision-making method for selecting the most desirable alternative in multiple attribute multi-interest group decision-making problems with attribute values and decision maker’s interest values taking the form of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, and application research to real estate purchase selection shows its practicality.
