AbstractThe aim of this paper is to develop some aggregation operators for multiple-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) with hesitant fuzzy linguistic information. First, the relationship between uncertain linguistic variable and hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (HFLTS) is discussed. Some operations and aggregation operators for HFLTSs are developed. Second, based on the hesitant fuzzy linguistic weighted arithmetic averaging operator and the hesitant fuzzy linguistic hybrid averaging operator, an approach to MAGDM problem with hesitant fuzzy linguistic information is proposed. Finally, a practical application of the developed approach to supplier selection in a supply chain and a comparative analysis with other methods are presented.

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.

Hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (HFLTS) is a set with ordered consecutive linguistic terms, and is very useful in addressing the situations where people are hesitant in providing their linguistic assessments. Wang [H. Wang, Extended hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets and their aggregation in group decision making, International Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems 8(1) (2015) 14–33.] removed the consecutive condition to introduce the notion of extended HFLTS (EHFLTS). The generalized form has wider applications in linguistic group decision-making. By introducing distance measures for EHFLTSs, in this paper we develop a novel multi-criteria group decision making model to deal with hesitant fuzzy linguistic information. The model collects group linguistic information by using EHFLTSs and avoids the possible loss of information. Moreover, it can assess the importance weights of criteria according to their subjective and objective information and rank alternatives based on the rationale of TOPSIS. In order to illustrate the applicability of the proposed algorithm, two examples are given and comparisons are made with the other existing methods.

In this paper, the distance-based multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) approaches using multi-hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets (MHFLTSs) are proposed. MHFLTSs can contain nonconsecutive and repetitive linguistic terms, so as to deal with repeated linguistic values in group decision-making. A multi-hesitant fuzzy linguistic term element (MHFLTE) can be produced by collecting the evaluation values of several decision-makers or given by one person who has uncertainty in evaluation. The corresponding set operations and comparison rules are defined and the generalized hesitant fuzzy linguistic distance for MHFLTEs is given based on the linguistic scale function. Then this distance is embedded into the TOPSIS, VIKOR and TODIM approaches for the purpose of solving multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems in the context of multi-hesitant fuzzy linguistic information. With increasing concerns about deterioration in environment, organizations are obliged to carry out more environmental sustainable activities than before, such as progressive practices in green supply chain management (GSCM). Therefore, with respect to the application of MHFLTSs in GSCM, two illustrations for evaluating the related alternatives are finally provided, together with the sensitivity and comparison analysis, to show the validity and effectiveness of our proposal.
