In fuzzy environments, some operators have been developed for aggregating intuitionistic fuzzy information which is expressed in pairs of the membership degrees and the non-membership degrees. However, the existing intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operators cannot consider and reflect the density of intuitionistic fuzzy information distribution. To solve the issue, in this paper, we first develop some intuitionistic fuzzy density-based aggregation operators. Then by combining the developed operators with the existing intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operators, we put forward some synthesized intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operators. Furthermore, we utilize the synthesized intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operators to develop an approach to group decision making based on intuitionistic preference relations, and illustrate our approach with a practical example of the evaluation of new medicines.

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.
