The multiplicative hesitant fuzzy information proposed by Xia (2012) uses the non-uniform scale to express the preference of the decision makers which has a broad application background. The key difference between multiplicative hesitant fuzzy information and hesitant fuzzy information is the former uses unsymmetrical scale in expressing the preferences about two alternatives but the latter use...

Abstract—Considering its need to trade-off multiple criteria exhibiting vagueness and imprecision, supplier selection is an important multi-criteria decision making problem. Vague and imprecise judgments inherent in numerous features of supplier selection call for using linguistic assessments rather than exact numerical values. In this paper, a novel fuzzy multi-criteria group decision making a...

Choquet integral, as an adequate aggregation operator, extends the weighted mean operator by considering interactions among attributes. Choquet integral has been widely used in many real multi-attribute decision making. Weights (fuzzy measures) of attribute sets directly affect the decision results in multi-attribute decision making. In this paper, we aim to propose an objective method based on...

this paper attempts to rank the effective factors in making trust in social networks to provide the possibility of attracting and increasing users’ trust on these social networks for providers and designers of online social networks. identifying the effective factors in making trust in social networks is a multi-criteria decision making problem and most of effective factors are ambiguous and un...

Triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number (TIFN) is a more generalized platform for expressing imprecise, incomplete, and inconsistent information when solving multi-criteria decision-making problems, as well as for expressing and reflecting the evaluation information in several dimensions. In this paper, the TIFN has been applied for solving multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems, first, ...

Select an appropriate project is a main key for contractors to increase their profits. In practice, in this area the uncertainty and imprecise of the involved parameters is so high. Therefore, considering fuzzy sets theory to deal with uncertainly is more appreciate. The aim of this paper is present a multi-criteria group decision-making model under an intuitionistic fuzzy set environment. Henc...

inventory control problem is one of the problems in decision making and management that contains non-crisp parameters in real world. economic production quantity (epq) model in fuzzy environment has been studied so far by many researchers. one of the main assumptions in all previous researches was neglecting the inventory shortage. in this research, a new multi-item epq model with fuzzy random ...

The concept of an intuitionistic fuzzy set can be reconsidered as an approach for defining a fuzzy set In cases where the available information is not enough to define an inaccurate concept of an ordinary fuzzy set. In sum, the theory of fuzzy sets is generalized intuitionistic fuzzy sets. It seems that quantitative research on multiattribute or multi-criteria decision making problems have been...

  Supplier selection is one of the most important activities of purchasing departments. This importance is increased even more by new strategies in a supply chain, because of the key role suppliers perform in terms of quality, costs and services which affect the outcome in the buyer’s company. Supplier selection is a multiple criteria decision making problem in which the objectives are not equa...
