As we may have a set of possible values when comparing alternatives (or criteria), the hesitant fuzzy preference relation becomes a suitable and powerful technique to deal with this case. This paper mainly focuses on the multiplicative consistency of the hesitant fuzzy preference relation. First of all, we explore some properties of the hesitant fuzzy preference relation and develop some new ag...

‎selecting the most suitable robot among their wide range of specifications and capabilities is an important issue to perform the hazardous and repetitive jobs‎. ‎companies should take into consideration powerful group decision-making (gdm) methods to evaluate the candidates or potential robots versus the selected attributes (criteria)‎. ‎in this study‎, ‎a new gdm method is proposed by utilizi...

The concept of dual hesitant fuzzy sets (DHFSs), which was first introduced as a new extension of fuzzy sets and hesitant fuzzy sets in 2012, is a useful tool to deal with the vagueness and ambiguity in many practical problems under hesitant fuzzy environment. Normally, we use the definition of distance to describe the relationship of two DHFSs. However, considering that the existing distance m...

The main purpose of this paper is to suggest an approach of multi-criteria decision-making that combines a hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (HFLTS) with an outranking method involving systematic comparisons of the assessment values of alternatives for each criterion. A HFLTS is more suitable than the traditional fuzzy linguistic set for describing decision-makers’ preferences when they prefer...

In this article we present three similarity measures between simplified neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy sets, which contain the concept of single valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy sets and interval valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy sets, based on the extension of Jaccard similarity measure, Dice similarity measure and Cosine similarity in the vector space. Then based on these three defined simila...

In this paper, a new soft computing group decision method based on the concept of compromise ratio is introduced for determining decision makers (DMs)' weights through the group decision process under uncertainty. In this method, preferences and judgments of the DMs or experts are expressed by linguistic terms for rating the industrial alternatives among selected criteria as well as the relativ...

Since the seminal paper of fuzzy set theory by Zadeh in 1965, many extensions have been proposed to overcome the difficulty for assigning the membership degrees. In recent years, a new extension, the hesitant fuzzy sets, has attracted a lot of interest due to its usefulness to handle those problems in which it is difficult to provide accurately a single membership value; since for hesitant sets...
