This paper proposes an interval valued trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy (IVTIF) decision making model for multi criteria group decision making (MCGDM) problem by taking into consideration that the criteria weights of each decision maker may differ with respect to each other when criteria weights are unknown prior. In this process, a new method to find the criteria weight based on alternatives performance and Einstein weighted averaging operator on IVTIFSs is defined. Further, the properties of interval valued trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy Einstein weighted averaging (IVITFEWA) operator are proved. The proposed method is illustrated by taking a numerical example. From the results it is observed that the proposed method can effectively rank the alternatives compared to existing methods.

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.

Fuzzy Preference

Group decision making with intuitionistic fuzzy preference information contains two key issues: acceptability measurement and priority weight determination. In this paper, we investigate the above two issues with respect to multiplicative interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation (IVIFPR). Firstly, a consistency index is defined to measure the multiplicative consistency degree of IVIFPR and an optimization model is established to improve the consistency degree of IVIFPR to an acceptable one. Next, in terms of priority weight determination, an error-analysis-based extension method is proposed to obtain priority weight vector from the acceptable IVIFPR. For GDM problems, decision makers’ weights are derived by the proposed multiplicative consistency index. Subsequently, the collective IVIFPR is obtained by using an interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) weighted averaging operator. Finally, a step-by step algorithm for GDM with IVIFPRs is given, and an example of enterprise innovation partner selection is analyzed, and comparative analyses with existing approaches are performed to demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is both effective and practical in dealing with GDM problems.

In this article, we demonstrate how interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) can function as extended intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) using the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IVIFNs) instead of precision numbers to describe the degree of membership and non-membership, which are more flexible and practical in dealing with ambiguity and uncertainty. By introducing IVIFSs into three-way decisions, we provide a new description of the loss function. Thus, we firstly propose a model of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy decision-theoretic rough sets (IVIFDTRSs). According to the basic framework of IVIFDTRSs, we design a strategy to address the IVIFNs and deduce three-way decisions. Then, we successfully extend the results of IVIFDTRSs from single-person decision-making to group decision-making. In this situation, we adopt a grey correlation accurate weighted determining method (GCAWD) to compute the weights of decision-makers, which integrates the advantages of the accurate weighted determining method and grey correlation analysis method. Moreover, we utilize the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging (IIFWA) operation to count the aggregated scores and the accuracies of the expected losses. By comparing these scores and accuracies, we design a simple and straightforward algorithm to deduce three-way decisions for group decision-making. Finally, we use an illustrative example to verify our results.
