A new approach for multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems where the attribute weights and the expert weights are real numbers and the attribute values take the form of vague values, is presented in this paper. Since families of ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operators are available in the literature, and only a few available for vague sets, the vague ordered weighted averaging (VOWA) operator and the induced vague ordered weighted averaging (IVOWA) operator are introduced in this paper and utilized for aggregating the vague information. The correlation coefficient for vague sets is used for ranking the alternatives and a new MAGDM model is developed based on the IVOWA operator and the vague weighted averaging (VWA) operator. In addition to the proposed model, two different models are proposed based on Linguistic Quantifiers for the situation when the expert weights are completely unknown. An illustrative example is given and a comparison is made between the models to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach of MAGDM.

Abstract This paper proposes a group decision making method based on entropy of neutrosophic linguistic sets and generalized single valued neutrosophic linguistic operators. This method is applied to solve the multiple attribute group decision making problems under single valued neutrosophic liguistic environment, in which the attribute weights are completely unknown. First, the attribute weights are obtained by using the entropy of neutrosophic linguistic sets. Then three generalized single valued neutrosophic linguistic operators are introduced, including the generalized single valued neutrosophic linguistic weighted averaging (GSVNLWA) operator, the generalized single valued neutrosophic linguistic ordered weighted averaging (GSVNLOWA) operator and the generalized single valued neutrosophic linguistic hybrid averaging (GSVNLHA) operator, and the GSVNLWA and GSVNLHA operators are used to aggregate information. Furthermore, similarity measure based on single valued neutrosophic linguistic numbers is defined and used to sort the alternatives and obtain the best alternative. Finally, an illustrative example is given to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the developed method.

This paper presents a novel approach based on the intuitionistic fuzzy combined ordered weighted averaging (IFCOWA) operator to solve multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems under fuzzy environment. Firstly, we introduce the new methods for determining the attribute weights and the order inducing variable of the proposed operator. With the intuitionistic fuzzy cross-entropy of aggregated attribute value to the optimum and the poorest information measures, the sort vector is constructed to derive the weights of attributes. Moreover, the order inducing variable of the attributes is obtained from their score values, by which the inducing order is roughly determined. Finally, two numerical examples about the venture investment problems are illustrated to demonstrate the applicability and efficiency of the raised approach in group decision making problem.

In this paper, triangular cubic hesitant fuzzy Einstein weighted averaging (TCHFEWA) operator, triangular cubic hesitant fuzzy Einstein ordered weighted averaging (TCHFEOWA) operator and triangular cubic hesitant fuzzy Einstein hybrid weighted averaging (TCHFEHWA) operator are proposed. An approach to multiple attribute group decision making with linguistic information is developed based on the TCHFEWA and the TCHFEHWA operators. Furthermore, we establish various properties of these operators and derive the relationship between the proposed operators and the existing aggregation operators. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the application of the established approach.

Furthermore, their application to multiple-attribute decision-making with triangular neutrosophic cubic fuzzy (TNCF) information is discussed. Finally, a practical example is given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.

This paper extends the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) for solving multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems under triangular intuitionistic fuzzy sets by using its correlation coefficient. In situations where the information or the data is of the form of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TIFNs), some arithmetic aggregation operators have to be defined, namely the triangular intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (TIFOWA) operator and the triangular intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid aggregation (TIFHA) operator. An extended TOPSIS model is developed to solve the MAGDM problems using a new type of correlation coefficient defined for TIFNs based on the triangular intuitionistic fuzzy weighted arithmetic averaging (TIFWAA) operator and the TIFHA operator. With an illustration this proposed model of MAGDM with the correlation coefficient of TIFNs is compared with the other existing methods.
