Magdm Problems

Uncertainty has long been explored as an objective and inalienable reality, and then modeled via different theories such as probability theory, fuzzy sets (FSs) theory, vague sets, etc. Hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs) as a generalization of FSs, because of their flexibility and capability, extended and applied in many practical problems very soon. However, the above theories cannot meet all the scientific needs of researchers. For example, in some decision-making problems we encounter predetermined definite data, which have inductive uncertainties. In other words, the numbers themselves are crisp in nature, but are associated with varying degrees of satisfaction or fairness from the perspective of each decision-maker/judge. To this end, in this article, hesitant fuzzy numbers as a generalization of hesitant fuzzy sets will be introduced. Some concepts such as the operation laws, the arithmetic operations, the score function, the variance of hesitant fuzzy numbers, and a way to compare hesitant fuzzy numbers will be proposed. Mean-based aggregation operators of hesitant fuzzy numbers, i.e. hesitant fuzzy weighted arithmetic averaging (HWAA), hesitant fuzzy weighted geometric averaging (HWGA), hesitant fuzzy ordered weighted arithmetic averaging (HOWAA), and hesitant fuzzy ordered weighted geometric averaging (HOWGA) operators have been discussed in this paper, too. These new concepts will be used to model, and solve an uncertain multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problem. The proposed method will be illustrated by a numerical example and the validity of the obtained solution will be checked by test criteria.

Decision Making Problem

Hesitant fuzzy sets extend fuzzy sets by considering many-valued sets of membership degrees. Real applications validate this model and decision making approaches of various forms permit to act in a flexible manner. If we can avail ourselves of hesitant information on non-membership degrees too, then dual hesitant fuzzy sets provide a natural extension of both hesitant fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy sets. This article defines the concept of dual extended hesitant fuzzy set as the combination of extended hesitant fuzzy sets with dual hesitant fuzzy sets. Its basic algebraic properties are set forth, and the model is linked to other successful models in the literature. We also define a comparison law for the prioritization of elements described in this new framework. Moreover, we present an algorithm to solve the dual extended hesitant fuzzy decision making problem by a weight score function. Finally, the feasibility of this approach is demonstrated by the evaluation of big data industries with an effectiveness test.

New Framework

Abstract As the generalization of the classical fuzzy number, the concept of Z-number introduced by Zadeh indicates more ability to depict the human knowledge and judgments of both restraint and reliability as an order pair of fuzzy numbers. In indeterminacy and inconsistent environment, a neutrosophic set is described by the truth, falsity, and indeterminacy degrees, but they lack measures related to reliability. To describe the hybrid information of combining the truth, falsity and indeterminacy degrees with their corresponding reliability degrees, this paper first proposes the concept of a neutrosophic Z-number (NZN) set, which is a new framework of neutrosophic values combined with the neutrosophic measures of reliability, as the generalization of the Z-number and the neutrosophic set. Then, we define the operations of neutrosophic Z-numbers (NZNs) and a score function for ranking NZNs. Next, we present NZN weighted arithmetic averaging (NZNWAA) and NZN weighted geometric averaging (NZNWGA) operators to aggregate NZN information and investigate their properties. Regarding the NZNWAA and NZNWGA operators and the score function, a multicriteria decision making (MDM) approach is developed in the NZN environment. Finally, an illustrative example about the selection problem of business partners is given to demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of the developed MDM approach in NZN setting.

Picture Fuzzy Sets

In practice, picture hesitant fuzzy sets (PHFSs) combining the picture fuzzy sets (PFSs) and hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs) are suitable to represent more complex multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) information. The power heronian (PH) operators, which have the merits of power average (PA) and heronian mean (HM) operators, are extended to the environment of PHFSs in this article. First, some algebraic operations of picture hesitant fuzzy numbers (PHFNs), comparative functions and distance measure are introduced. Second, two novel operators, called as picture hesitant fuzzy weighted power heronian (PHFWPH) operator and picture hesitant fuzzy weighted geometric power heronian (PHFWGPH) operator, are defined. Meanwhile, some desirable characteristics and special instances of two operators are investigated as well. Third, a novel MCDM approach applying the proposed PH operators to handle PHFNs is explored. Lastly, to indicate the effectiveness of this novel method, an example regarding MCDM problem is conducted, as well as sensitivity and comparison analysis.

The Relationship

The subject of this study is to explore the role of cardinality of hesitant fuzzy element (HFE) in distance measures on hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs). Firstly, three parameters, i.e., credibility factor, conservative factor, and a risk factor are introduced, thereafter, a series of novel distance measures on HFSs are proposed using these three parameters. These newly proposed distance measures handle the relationship between the cardinal number and the element values of hesitant fuzzy set well, and are suitable to combine subjective and objective decision-making information. When using these functions, decision makers with different risk preferences are allowed to give different values for these three parameters. In particular, this study transfers the hesitance degree index to a credibility of the values in HFEs, which is consistent with people’s intuition. Finally, the practicability of the newly proposed distance measures is verified by two examples.

Heronian Mean

The q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (q-ROFSs), originated by Yager, are good tools to describe fuzziness in human cognitive processes. The basic elements of q-ROFSs are q-rung orthopair fuzzy numbers (q-ROFNs), which are constructed by membership and nonmembership degrees. As realistic decision-making is very complicated, decision makers (DMs) may be hesitant among several values when determining membership and nonmembership degrees. By incorporating dual hesitant fuzzy sets (DHFSs) into q-ROFSs, we propose a new technique to deal with uncertainty, called q-rung dual hesitant fuzzy sets (q-RDHFSs). Subsequently, we propose a family of q-rung dual hesitant fuzzy Heronian mean operators for q-RDHFSs. Further, the newly developed aggregation operators are utilized in multiple attribute group decision-making (MAGDM). We used the proposed method to solve a most suitable supplier selection problem to demonstrate its effectiveness and usefulness. The merits and advantages of the proposed method are highlighted via comparison with existing MAGDM methods. The main contribution of this paper is that a new method for MAGDM is proposed.
