Faced with complex decision problems, Distribution linguistic preference relation (DLPR) is an effective way for decision-makers (DMs) to express preference information. However, due to the complexity of the decision-making environment, DMs may not be able to provide complete linguistic distribution for all linguistic terms in DLPRs, which results in incomplete DLPRs. Therefore, in order to solve group decision-making (GDM) with incomplete DLPRs, this paper proposes expected consistency-based model and multiplicative DEA cross-efficiency. For a given incomplete DLPRs, we first propose an optimization model to obtain complete DLPR. This optimization model can evaluate the missing linguistic distribution and ensure that the obtained DLPR has a high consistency level. And then, we develop a transformation function that can transform DLPRs into multiplicative preference relations (MPRs). Furthermore, we design an improved multiplicative DEA model to obtain the priority vector of MPR for ranking all alternatives. Finally, a numerical example is provided to show the rationality and applicability of the proposed GDM method.

This paper aims to propose an innovative approach to group decision making (GDM) with interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) preference relations (IVIFPRs). First, an IVIFPR is proposed based on the additive consistency of an interval-valued fuzzy preference relation (IVFPR). Then, two mathematical or adjusted programming models are established to extract two special consistent IVFPRs. In order to derive the priority weight of an IVIFPR, after taking the two special IVFPRs into consideration, a linear optimization model is constructed by minimizing the deviations between individual judgments and between the width degrees of the interval priority weights. For GDM with IVIFPRs, the decision makers’ weights are generated by combining the adjusted subjective weights with the objective weights. Subsequently, using an IVIF-weighted averaging operator, the collective IVIFPR is obtained and utilized to derive the IVIF priority weights. Finally, a practical example of a supplier selection is analyzed to demonstrate the application of the proposed method.
