With respect to multiple attribute decision making problem with triangular fuzzy linguistic information, in which the attribute weights and expert weights take the form of real numbers, and the preference values take the form of triangular fuzzy linguistic variables, a operator for aggregating triangular fuzzy linguistic variables, such as the fuzzy linguistic weighted harmonic mean (FLWHM) ope...

Most fuzzy systems including fuzzy decision support and fuzzy control systems provide out­ puts in the form of fuzzy sets that represent the inferred conclusions. Linguistic interpretation of such outputs often involves the use of linguistic approximation that assigns a linguistic label to a fuzzy set based on the predefined primary terms, linguistic modifiers and linguistic connectives. More g...

Decision making is a process common to human beings. The uncertainty and fuzziness of problems demand the use of the fuzzy linguistic approach to model qualitative aspects of problems related to decision. The recent proposal of hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets supports the elicitation of comparative linguistic expressions in hesitant situations when experts hesitate among different linguisti...

In this paper, the multi-person decision making problems with various different types of incomplete linguistic preference relations are studied. Some new concepts, including incomplete uncertain linguistic preference relation, incomplete triangular fuzzy linguistic preference relation, incomplete trapezoid fuzzy linguistic preference relation, expected incomplete linguistic preference relation ...

This paper attempts to present the new approach to design sufficient number of systematic fuzzy linguistics in matrix form and map the Fuzzy Linguistic Variable Matrix, which contains linguistic terms, into numeric domain using Fuzzy Normal Distribution based on the Parabola-based Membership Function. Existing fuzzy set theory is difficult to design the systematic and sufficient fuzzy linguisti...

The prediction of product acceptability is often an additive effect of individual fuzzy impressions developed by a consumer on certain underlying attributes characteristic of the product. In this paper, we present the development of a data-driven fuzzy-rule-based approach for predicting the overall sensory acceptability of pistachio green hull’s marmalade. The model was formulated using the Tak...

Abstract. The 2-tuple linguistic computational model is an important tool to deal with linguistic information. To extend the application of hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets and avoid information loss, this paper introduces hesitant fuzzy 2-tuple linguistic term sets that are expressed by using several symbolic numbers in [0,1]. Considering the order relationship between hesitant fuzzy 2tuple...

logistics outsourcing has been at the top of the management agenda during recent decades. the selection of the proper service supplier is the key to success in logistic outsourcing firms could select the right supplier by applying appropriate methods and selection criteria. in this paper a new framework is proposed on the basis of weighted additive fuzzy programming approach and linear programm...
