Various fuzzy sets have been developed in the recent years to model the uncertainty in judgments. Spherical fuzzy set (SFS) concept is one of these developments. It can provide an extensive preference domain for decision-makers by allowing them to state their hesitancy more explicitly. The peculiarity of SFS is that the squared sum of membership, nonmembership, and hesitancy degrees should be between 0 and 1 while each is independently defined in [0, 1]. In this study, ARAS as one of the most applied multiple attribute decision-making approaches is extended into a spherical fuzzy environment. Entropy-based and OWA operator-based objective attribute weights are also integrated with the newly proposed spherical fuzzy ARAS for coping with the drawbacks of subjective weighting such as longer data collection time and manipulation risk. The applicability of the proposition is shown in a hypothetical example of a product design problem and its robustness is shown by a comparative analysis.

In this paper, we study the uncertain multiple attribute decision making problems with preference information on alternatives (UMADM-PIA, for short), in which the information on attribute weights is not precisely known, but value ranges can be obtained. A projection method is proposed for the UMADM-PIA. To reflect the decision maker's preference information, a projection model is established to determine the weights of attributes, and then to select the most desirable alternative(s). The method can reflect both the objective information and the decision maker's subjective preferences, and can also be performed on computer easily. Finally, an illustrative example is given to verify the proposed method and to demonstrate its feasibility and practicality.

The intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) characterized by a membership function and a non-membership function, was introduced by Atanassov [K. Atanassov, "Intuitionistic fuzzy sets", Fuzzy Sets and Systems 20 (1986) 87–96] as a generalization of Zadeh' fuzzy set [L. A. Zadeh, "Fuzzy Sets", Information and Control 8 (1965) 338–353] to deal with fuzziness and uncertainty. In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems, in which the information about attribute weights is incomplete, and the attribute values are expressed in intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFNs). We first define the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy ideal solution (IFIS), and then, based on the IFIS and the distance measure, we establish some optimization models to derive the attribute weights. Furthermore, based on the developed models, we develop some procedures for the rankings of alternatives under different situations, and extend the developed models and procedures to handle the MADM problems with interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy information. Finally, we give some illustrative examples to verify the effectiveness and practicability of the developed models and procedures.

AbstractWe propound the idea of the partitioned dual Maclaurin symmetric mean (PDMSM) operator stimulated by the partitioned Maclaurin symmetric mean, suppose that we can partition overall attributes into some portions and the attributes are interrelated in the same portion, but the attributes are not interrelated in different portions. We can deal with decision-making issues using PDMSM operator in the intuitionistic fuzzy environment. We also analysis features and peculiar instance of the PDMSM operator. And, we extend the PDMSM operator to introduce the intuitionistic fuzzy partitioned dual Maclaurin symmetric mean operator and the weighted intuitionistic fuzzy partitioned dual Maclaurin symmetric mean operator. Then, we analysis several characteristics and peculiar instances of the developed operators. A new multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) approach grounded on the established weighted intuitionistic fuzzy partitioned dual Maclaurin symmetric mean operator is propounded; the MADM method is to choose the optimal alternative from several alternatives. Finally, we demonstrate the designed method is more general and effective than existing methods through comparative analysis.

With the increasing complexity of the human social environment, it is impossible to describe each object in detail with accurate numbers when solving multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) problems. Compared with the fuzzy set (FS), the intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) not only has obvious advantages in allocating ambiguous values to the object to be considered, but also takes into account the degree of membership and non-membership, so it is more suitable for decision makers (DMs) to deal with complex realistic problems. Therefore, it is of great significance to propose a MADM method under an intuitionistic fuzzy environment. Moreover, compared with the traditional 2WD, by putting forward the option of delay, the decision-making risk can be effectively reduced using three-way decision (3WD). In addition, the binary relations between objects in the decision-making process have been continuously generalized, such as equivalence relation which have symmetrical relationship, dominance relation and outranking relation, which are worthy of study. In this paper, we propose 3WD-MADM method based on IF environment and the objective IFS is calculated by using the information table. Then, the hybrid information table is used to solve the supplier selection problem to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The aim of this chapter is to investigate the multiple attribute decision making problems to a selected project with generalized intuitionistic fuzzy information in which the information about weights is completely known and the attributes values are taken from the generalized intuitionistic fuzzy environment. Here, we extend the technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) for the generalized intuitionistic fuzzy data. In addition, obtained the concept of possibility degree of generalized intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and used to solve ranking alternative in multi-attribute decision making problems.

The Maclaurin symmetric mean (MSM) can capture the interrelationship among the multi-input arguments and it also can generalize most of the existing operators. Now MSM has been extended to intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) which can easily express the vague information. However, the operational rules of IFSs used in the extended MSM operator didn’t consider the interaction between the membership function and non-membership function, so there are some weaknesses. In this paper, in order to combine the advantages of the MSM and interaction operational rules of IFSs, we propose the intuitionistic fuzzy interaction Maclaurin symmetric mean (IFIMSM) operator, the intuitionistic fuzzy weighted interaction Maclaurin symmetric mean (IFWIMSM) operator, respectively. Furthermore, we research some desirable properties and some special cases of them. Further, we develop a new method to deal with some multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problems under intuitionistic fuzzy environment based on these operators. Finally, an illustrative example is given to testify the availability of the developed method by comparing with the other existing methods.
