In this paper, we propose an exponential-related function (ER) and develop an intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS model based on the function (IF-TOPSISEF) to solve multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems in which the performance ratings are expressed in intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs). The main advantage of this new approach is that the exponential-related function is able to represent the aggregated effect of the positive and negative evaluations in the performance ratings of alternatives based on the intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) data. It also serves as a mean for the computations of the separation measures of each alternative from the intuitionistic fuzzy positive and negative ideal solutions to determine the relative closeness coefficients. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, the proposed IF-TOPSISEF is applied for the evaluation of the concept designs of a part in an HDD machine (The drill pipe slider), and for some hypothetical examples.Growing Science Ltd.

“…However, if there exist some points x with µ Bi (x) = 0, which is a case often happening in practice, then µ A (x) = 0 no matter what γ is. In other words, Zimmermann's γ-family of operators does not give any compensation if any of the individuals to be aggregated are estimated to be zero [21].…”

Abstract:In the real world, group decision making is one of the most significant and omnipresent human decision making activities. The central problem of group decision making is to develop "fair" methods for aggregating individual alternatives (options, variants, etc.) to yield a consensus decision that is most acceptable to the group as a whole. It has become a subject of intensive research due to its practical and academic significance. But group decision making is innately uncertain, so a promising framework of decision making in groups is to consider uncertainty measures in the processes of model construction, so as to achieve optimal solutions in terms of best degrees of consensus of final decisions. This paper aims to provide an in-depth overview of group decision making incorporating uncertainty from the perspective of fuzzy sets (including type-1 and type-2 fuzzy sets). Some potential new research directions on fuzzy group decision making are suggested.

“…The MIN operator belongs to a wide class of operators, the triangular norm (T-norm), which satisfies a set of rationality properties and are widely used in the field of MCDA analysis, especially in the fuzzy logic applications [Klement 2000]. Since the MIN is not compensative at all, some Authors proposed to substitute the MIN operator, in the dual space, with a smoother T-norm, [Kolesarova 2001, Klement 2000, Despic 2000, Fujimoto 1997. A natural choice can be the product of the values, that is a differentiable and partially compensative operator.…”

“…Many methods were presented in literature, but most of them are based either on quite complex optimization algorithms, or on data mining techniques. In this case study, we preferred a user friendly approach, and adopted a method based on a suitable questionnaire [Despic 2000]. Let us suppose that the DM(s) judgements are in the scale [0,100], with the usual meaning for the numerical values, i.e.…”

A multicriteria approach for the evaluation of the sustainability of re-use of historic buildings in Venice A Multicriteria Approach for the Evaluation of the Sustainability of Re-use of Historic Buildings in Venice SummaryThe paper presents a multiple criteria model for the evaluation of the sustainability of projects for the economic re-use of historical buildings in Venice. The model utilises the relevant parameters for the appraisal of sustainability, aggregated into three macroindicators: intrinsic sustainability, context sustainability and economic-financial feasibility. The model has been calibrated by a panel of experts and tested on two reuse hypotheses of the Old Arsenal in Venice. The tests have proven the model to be a useful support in the early stages of evaluation of re-use projects, where economic improvements are to be combined with conservation, as it supports the identification of critical points and the selection of projects, thus providing not only a check-list of variables to be considered, but an appraisal of trade-offs between economic uses and requirements of conservation.
