Muirhead mean (MM) is a well-known aggregation operator which can consider interrelationships among any number of arguments assigned by a variable vector. Besides, it is a universal operator since it can contain other general operators by assigning some special parameter values. However, the MM can only process the crisp numbers. Inspired by the MM’ advantages, the aim of this paper is to extend MM to process the intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFNs) and then to solve the multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems. Firstly, we develop some intuitionistic fuzzy Muirhead mean (IFMM) operators by extending MM to intuitionistic fuzzy information. Then, we prove some properties and discuss some special cases with respect to the parameter vector. Moreover, we present two new methods to deal with MAGDM problems with the intuitionistic fuzzy information based on the proposed MM operators. Finally, we verify the validity and reliability of our methods by using an application example, and analyze the advantages of our methods by comparing with other existing methods.
For multiple‐attribute decision making problems in Pythagorean fuzzy environment, few existing aggregation operators consider interrelationships among the attributes. To deal with this issue, this article extends the Bonferroni means to Pythagorean fuzzy sets (PFSs) to provide Pythagorean Fuzzy Bonferroni means. We first extend t‐norm and its dual t‐conorm to propose the generalized operational laws for PFSs, which can be considered as the extensions of the known ones. Based on these new laws, Pythagorean fuzzy weighted Bonferroni mean operator and Pythagorean fuzzy weighted geometric Bonferroni mean operator are developed, both of them can capture the correlations among Pythagorean fuzzy input arguments and their desired properties and special cases are also investigated in detail. At last, a novel approach is proposed based on the developed operators with its effectiveness being proved by an investment selection problem.
Triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TIFNs) is one of the useful tools to manage the fuzziness and vagueness in expressing decision data and solving decision making problems. In this paper, triangular norm (t‐norm) based cuts of TIFNs are developed to synthesize the membership and nonmembership functions in describing the cut sets, then the possibility characteristics of TIFNs, i.e., the possibility mean, the possibility variance, and the possibility mean‐standard deviation ratio, are given. Thereby, on the ground of the possibility mean‐standard deviation ratio, a ranking method of TIFNs is introduced. With these elements, an approach to multiple attributes decision making (MADM) is proposed and illustrated by a numerical example. It is shown that the approach to MADM comprehensively considers both the membership and nonmembership functions and can lead to objective and reasonable results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
