“…- (S3) Calculating the negative and positive ideal schemes. When the criterion is a benefit criterion, the positive and negative ideal schemes [ 29 ] can be expressed, respectively, as A + =([ τ i 1 + , 1 − λ i 1 + ], [ τ i 2 +, 1 − λ i 2 + ], [ τ i 3 + , 1 − λ i 3 + ],…, [ τ im + , 1 − λ im + ]) and A − =([ τ i 1 − , 1 − λ i 1 − ], [ τ i 2 − , 1 − λ i 2 − ], [ τ i 3 − , 1 − λ i 3 − ], ⋯, [ τ im − , 1 − λ im − ]).
- When the criterion is a cost criterion, the positive and negative ideal schemes are, respectively, as A + =([ τ i 1 − , 1 − λ i 1 − ], [ τ i 2 − , 1 − λ i 2 − ], [ τ i 3 − , 1 − λ i 3 − ],…, [ τ im − , 1 − λ im − ]).
