This study proposes a two-sided matching decision-making (TSMDM) approach by combining the regret theory under the intuitionistic fuzzy environment. At first, according to the Hamming distance of intuitionistic fuzzy sets and regret theory, superior and inferior flows are defined to describe the comparative preference of subjects. Hereafter, the satisfaction degrees are obtained by integrating the superior and inferior flows of the subjects. The comprehensive satisfaction degrees are calculated by aggregating the satisfaction degrees, based on which, a multi-objective TSMDM model is built. Furthermore, the multi-objective TSMDM model is converted to a single-objective model, the optimal solution of the latter is derived. Finally, an illustrative example and several analyses are provided to verify the feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Pros And Cons

We discuss how to assign weights to the experts participating in group decision making in intuitionistic fuzzy environment which means that the options are expressed via intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs, for short). We use the three term representation of the IFSs. A question arises if by making use of the expert’s opinions concerning a problem considered is it possible to assess the experts. The typical approaches from literature are recalled and discussed. Next, we propose two novel methods of assigning weights to experts. However, the methods are not ideal as starting from expert’s opinions concerning the options considered. Alas, while not knowing a real solution of a problem the experts try to solve, it is difficult to tell who is right and who is wrong whereas we do not have additional knowledge about the experts. The advantage of the method proposed is that we avoid assumptions about a real optimal solution which is not known. Instead, we pay attention if an expert is able to tell in a convincing way which option is good and which one is bad by pointing out pros and cons of an option in a definite way.

Decision Making Processes

The fusion of multidimensional intuitionistic fuzzy information plays an important part in decision making processes under an intuitionistic fuzzy environment. In this chapter, it is observed that existing intuitionistic fuzzy Einstein hybrid aggregation operators do not follow the idempotency and boundedness. This leads to sometimes illogical and even absurd results to the decision maker. Hence, some new intuitionistic fuzzy Einstein hybrid aggregation operators such as the new intuitionistic fuzzy Einstein hybrid weighted averaging (IFEHWA) and the new intuitionistic fuzzy Einstein hybrid weighted geometric (IFEHWG) were developed. The new IFEHWA and IFEHWG operators can weigh the arguments as well as their ordered positions the same as the intuitionistic fuzzy Einstein hybrid aggregation operators do. Further, it is validated that the defined operators are idempotent, bounded, monotonic and commutative. Then, based on the developed approach, a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) procedure is given. Finally, a numerical example is conducted to demonstrate the proposed method effectively.

Consensus Reaching Process

The ordered weighted distance (OWD) measure developed by Xu and Chen having been proved suitable to deal with the situation where the input arguments are represented in exact numerical values. In this paper, we develop some new geometric distance measures with intuitionistic fuzzy information, which are the generalization of some widely used distance measures, including the intuitionistic fuzzy weighted geometric distance (IFWGD) measure, the intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted geometric distance (IFOWGD) measure, the intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted geometric Hamming distance (IFOWGHD) measure, the intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted geometric Euclidean distance (IFOWGED) measure, the intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid weighted geometric distance (IFHWGD) measure. These developed weighted geometric distance measures are very suitable to deal with the situation where the input arguments are represented in intuitionistic fuzzy values. And then, we present a consensus reaching process based on the developed distance measures with intuitionistic fuzzy preference information for group decision making. Finally, we apply the developed approach with a numerical example to group decision making under intuitionistic fuzzy environment.

AbstractDetermining the methods for fulfilling the continuously increasing customer expectations and maintaining competitiveness in the market while limiting controllable expenses is challenging. Our study thus identifies inefficiencies in the supply chain network (SCN). The initial goal is to obtain the best allocation order for products from various sources with different destinations in an optimal manner. This study considers two types of decision-makers (DMs) operating at two separate groups of SCN, that is, a bi-level decision-making process. The first-level DM moves first and determines the amounts of the quantity transported to distributors, and the second-level DM then rationally chooses their amounts. First-level decision-makers (FLDMs) aimed at minimizing the total costs of transportation, while second-level decision-makers (SLDM) attempt to simultaneously minimize the total delivery time of the SCN and balance the allocation order between various sources and destinations. This investigation implements fuzzy goal programming (FGP) to solve the multi-objective of SCN in an intuitionistic fuzzy environment. The FGP concept was used to define the fuzzy goals, build linear and nonlinear membership functions, and achieve the compromise solution. A real-life case study was used to illustrate the proposed work. The obtained result shows the optimal quantities transported from the various sources to the various destinations that could enable managers to detect the optimum quantity of the product when hierarchical decision-making involving two levels. A case study then illustrates the application of the proposed work.

Transportation problem is a very common problem for a businessman. Every businessman wants to reduce cost, time and distance of transportation. There are several methods available to solve the transportation problem with single objective but transportation problems are not always with single objective. To solve transportation problem with more than one objective is a typical task. In this paper we explored a new method to solve multi criteria transportation problem named as Geometric mean method to Solve Multi-objective Transportation Problem Under Fuzzy Environment. We took a problem of transportation with three objectives cost, time and distance. We converted objectives into membership values by using a membership function and then geometric mean of membership values is taken. We also used a procedure to find a pareto optimal solution. Our method gives the better values of objectives than other methods. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the method comparison with some existing methods is also made.

Sequential decision-making problems with multiple objectives arise naturally in practice and pose unique challenges for research in decision-theoretic planning and learning, which has largely focused on single-objective settings. This article surveys algorithms designed for sequential decision-making problems with multiple objectives. Though there is a growing body of literature on this subject, little of it makes explicit under what circumstances special methods are needed to solve multi-objective problems. Therefore, we identify three distinct scenarios in which converting such a problem to a single-objective one is impossible, infeasible, or undesirable. Furthermore, we propose a taxonomy that classifies multi-objective methods according to the applicable scenario, the nature of the scalarization function (which projects multi-objective values to scalar ones), and the type of policies considered. We show how these factors determine the nature of an optimal solution, which can be a single policy, a convex hull, or a Pareto front. Using this taxonomy, we survey the literature on multi-objective methods for planning and learning. Finally, we discuss key applications of such methods and outline opportunities for future work.

Generalized Correlation

Correlation coefficient is an essential measuring operator in an intuitionistic fuzzy environment use in solving MCDM problems. In this paper, Xu et al.'s correlation coefficient for IFSs is generalized for an improved output. The objectives of this work are to generalize the triparametric correlation coefficient for IFSs proposed by Xu et al. and unravel its applicability in some MCDM problems. The generalized correlation coefficient for IFSs is characterized with some number of results. Some numerical illustrations are supplied to validate the preeminence of the generalized correlation coefficient for IFSs over some existing correlation coefficient measures. In addition, some MCDM problems such as determination of suitable lecturer for course allocation and personnel promotion exercise captured in intuitionistic fuzzy pairs are discussed with the aid of the proposed correlation coefficient.

Then, based on the Hamming distance and the Euclidean distance of the interval intuitionistic fuzzy set, both of which have been defined, function mapping is given for the attribute. Finally, to solve multiple-attribute group decision-making problems using interval intuitionistic fuzzy sets, a method based on extended TODIM is put forward, and a case that deals with the site selection of airport terminals is given to prove the method.
