چکیده

In this study, we introduce a novel modified synthetic evaluation method (M-TOPSIS) based on the concept of original TOPSIS and calculate the distance between the alternatives and ‘optimized ideal reference point’ in the D D-plane. It could avoid rank reversals and solve the problem on evaluation failure that often occurs in original TOPSIS, so we believe that the mechanism of M-TOPSIS is more reasonable. Furthermore, the MTOPSIS method is simple in both concept and calculation procedures.

Compromise solution by MCDM methods: A comparative analysis of VIKOR and TOPSIS

The multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) methods VIKOR and TOPSIS are based on an aggregating function representing ‘‘closeness to the ideal’’, which originated in the compromise programming method. In VIKOR linear normalization and in TOPSIS vector normalization is used to eliminate the units of criterion functions. The VIKOR method of compromise ranking determines a compromise solution, p...

Comparative analysis of SAW and TOPSIS based on interval-valued fuzzy sets: Discussions on score functions and weight constraints

Interval-valued fuzzy sets involve more uncertainties than ordinary fuzzy sets and can be used to capture imprecise or uncertain decision information in fields that require multiple-criteria decision analysis (MCDA). This paper takes the simple additive weighting (SAW) method and the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) as the main structure to deal with in...

Project Selection by Using Fuzzy AHP and TOPSIS Technique

In this article, by using fuzzy AHP and TOPSIS technique we propose a new method for project selection problem. After reviewing four common methods of comparing alternatives investment (net present value, rate of return, benefit cost analysis and payback period) we use them as criteria in AHP tree. In this methodology by utilizing improved Analytical Hierarchy Process by Fuzzy set theory, first...
