In this paper, the Multiple Attribute Group Decision Making (MAGDM) problems is based on the attribute weights calculated from completely unknown information using the Maximal Entropy OWA weights. The interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (IIFOWA) operator is utilized to aggregate all individual interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy decision matrices provided by the dec...

In this paper, we constructed a model to determine weights of criterias and presented a solution for determining the optimal alternative by using the constructed model and relationship analys is between criterias in fuzzy group decision-making problem with different forms of preference information of decision makers on criterias.

Interval type-2 fuzzy sets, each of which is characterized by the footprint of uncertainty, are a very useful means to depict the linguistic information in the process of decision making. In this article, we investigate the group decision making problems in which all the linguistic information provided by the decision makers is expressed as interval type-2 fuzzy decision matrices where each of ...

Recently, resolving the problem of evaluation and ranking the potential suppliers has become as a key strategic factor for business firms. With the development of intelligent and automated information systems in the information era, the need for more efficient decision making methods is growing. The VIKOR method was developed to solve multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problems with confl...

Group decision making with preference information on alternatives has become a very active research field over the last decade. Especially, the investigation on the group decision making problems based on different preference formats has attracted great interests from researchers recently and some approaches have been developed for dealing with these problems. However, the existing approaches c...

In the evidential reasoning approach of decision theory, different evidence weights can generate different combined results. Consequently, evidence weights can significantly influence solutions. In terms of the “psychology of economic man,” decision-makers may tend to seek similar pieces of evidence to support their own evidence and thereby form alliances. In this paper, we extend the concept o...

Due to the increasing competition of globalization, selection of the most appropriate supplier is one of the key factors for asupply chain management’s success. Due to conflicting evaluations and insufficient information about the criteria, Intuitionisticfuzzy sets (IFSs) considered as animpressive tool and utilized to specify the relative importance of the criteria. The aim of this paper is to...
