The aggregation of preference relations in group decision-making (GDM) problems can be carried out based on either the reliability of the preference values to be aggregated, as is the case with ordered weighted averaging operators, or on the reliability of the source of information that provided the preferences, as is the case with weighted mean operators. In this paper, we address the problem ...

In this paper we compare the WOWA operator (an aggregation operator that generalizes both the weighted mean and the OWA operator) with the Choquet integral. We show that the Sugeno λ-measure and the decomposable fuzzy measures are particular cases of the measure implicit in the WOWA operator.

An aggregation operator [1, 5, 7, 8, 9, 12] is usually defined as a real function An such that, from n data items x1, . . . ,xn in [0,1], produces an aggregated value An(x1, . . . ,xn) in [0,1] [4]. This definition can be extended to consider the whole family of operators for any n instead of a single operator for an specific n. This has led to the current standard definition [4, 15] of a famil...

Standard Mobius transform evaluation formula for the Choquet integral is associated with the min-aggregation. However, several other aggregation operators replacing min operator can be applied, which leads to a new construction method for aggregation operators. All binary operators applicable in this approach are characterized by the 1-Lipschitz property. Among ternary aggregation operators all...

The neutrosophic set (NS) can be better to express the incomplete, indeterminate and inconsistent information, and Hamacher aggregation operators extended the Algebraic and Einstein aggregation operators and the generalized aggregation operators can generalize the arithmetic, geometric, and quadratic aggregation operators. In this paper, we combined Hamacher operations and generalized aggregati...

in some multi-attribute decision making (madm) problems, various relationships among the decision attributes should be considered. this paper investigates the prioritization relationship of attributes in madm with trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (trifns). trifns are a special intuitionistic fuzzy set on a real number set and have the better capability to model ill-known quantities. fir...

We present a method for the selection of students in interdisciplinary studies based on the hybrid averaging operator. We assume that the available information given in the problem is uncertain so it is necessary to use interval numbers. Therefore, we suggest a new type of hybrid aggregation called uncertain induced generalized hybrid averaging (UIGHA) operator. It is an aggregation operator th...

We study different types of aggregation operators and the decision making process with minimization of regret. We analyze the original work developed by Savage and the recent work developed by Yager that generalizes the MMR method creating a parameterized family of minimal regret methods by using the ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator. We suggest a new method that uses different types of...
