As a hot topic in supply chain management, fuzzy method has been widely used in logistics center location selection to improve the reliability and suitability of the logistics center location selection with respect to the impacts of both qualitative and quantitative factors. However, it does not consider the consistency and the historical assessments accuracy of experts in predecisions. So this...

Our purpose in this paper is to show the integration properties of the intuitionistic fuzzyvalued Choquet integrals, by which improper applications of this type of Choquet integral in the multicriteria decision making can be avoided. We first propose some important operational properties of intuitionistic fuzzy values (IFVs) and give a short review of the methods of comparing IFVs in the framew...

It is known that OWA operators appear to be particular cases of Choquet integral with respect to a suitable fuzzy measure. Recently, it has been shown that fuzzy measures can be expressed in three different, completely equivalent forms (called representations), among which the so-called interaction representation. It has been shown that only the interaction representation makes sense for a deci...

Abstract In this paper we prove a characterization for the subclass of nonbalanced TU-games. The result is stated in terms of certain class of cycles of pre-imputations. A cycle is a finite sequence of pre-imputations, where each pair of neighbouring elements are interrelated to each other through a transfer of some amount of utility from members of a certain coalition to the members of the com...

We study farsighted coalitional stability in the context of TUgames. Chwe (1994, p.318) notes that, in this context, it is difficult to prove nonemptiness of the largest consistent set. We show that every TU-game has a nonempty largest consistent set. Moreover, the proof of this result points out that each TU-game has a farsighted stable set. We go further by providing a characterization of the...

In this paper, we deal with games with fuzzy payoffs. We proved that players who are playing a zero-sum game with fuzzy payoffs against Nature are able to increase their joint payoff, and hence their individual payoffs by cooperating. It is shown that, a cooperative game with the fuzzy characteristic function can be constructed via the optimal game values of the zero-sum games with fuzzy payoff...

A new framework, Decerns, for multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) of a wide range of practical problems on risk management is introduced. Decerns framework contains a library of modules that are the basis for two scalable systems: DecernsMCDA for analysis of multicriteria problems, and DecernsSDSS for multicriteria analysis of spatial options. DecernsMCDA includes well known MCDA methods and...

The aim of this paper is to shed some light on the use of fuzzy measures and integrals as aggregation operators in multicriteria decision making. These techniques have been widely used on an ad hoc basis, but with no ax-iomatization. It is possible to obtain preference representation theorems in multicriteria decision making problems, relying on a formal parallelism between decision under uncer...

The degree of similarity or dissimilarity between the objects under study plays an important role. In vector space, especially, the cosine similarity measure is often used in information retrieval, citation analysis, and automatic classification. However, it scarcely deals with trapezoidal fuzzy information and multicriteria decision-making problems. For this purpose, a cosine similarity measur...
