During the last few years, more and more researchers have been applying IFSs to multi-attribute decision making under various different situations, and a lot of work has been done (Chen and Tan 1994; Hong and Choi 2000; Xu and Yager 2006; Boran et al. 2009; Xu 2010a, c; Zhao 2009; Zhao et al. 2010; Tan and Chen 2010; Wei 2010a; Xu and Xia 2012a; Xu and Cai 2010; Wu and Chen 2011, etc.). The con...

The multi-attribute decision making problem engages in the propagation of information, which often is highly uncertain or imprecise. Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller (CMAC) belongs to the family of feed-forward networks with a single linear trainable layer. CMAC has the feature of fast learning, and is suitable for modeling any non-linear relationship. Combining fuzzy linguistic semanti...

The paper investigates some similarity measures in interval bipolar neutrosophic environment for multi-attribute decision making problems. At first, we define Hamming and Euclidean distances measures between interval bipolar neutrosophic sets and establish their basic properties. We also propose two similarity measures based on the Hamming and Euclidean distance functions. Using maximum and min...

Abstract This paper takes the time weight and attribute weight in different periods into consideration to propose a dynamic triangular fuzzy number type multi-attribute decision making method to solve the problem with multi-attribute decision making with triangular fuzzy number as the attribute value. This method utilizes the characteristics of the triangular fuzzy number in order to establish ...

A decision making approach which combines multi-attribute decision making techniques with expert systems is described in the paper. In this approach, knowledge about a particular decision making problem is represented in the form of tree-structured criteria and decision rules. Decision making is supported by an expert system shell. In the paper, the discussion is mainly concentrated on the part...

Low-carbon tourism plays an important role in carbon emission reduction and environmental protection. Low-carbon tourism destination selection often involves multiple conflicting and incommensurate attributes or criteria and can be modelled as a multi-attribute decision-making problem. This paper develops a framework to solve multi-attribute group decision-making problems, where attribute evalu...

In wireless network applications, such as routing decision, selection, etc., the Multi-Attribute Decision Making (MADM) is widely used. The MADM approach can address multi-objective decision making issues effectively. However, when parameters vary greatly, traditional algorithm not effective anymore. To solve this problem, in paper, we propose pairwise-based algorithm. PMADM, only two nodes' ut...
