This paper describes a fuzzy hierarchical analytic approach to determine the weighting of subjective judgments. In addition, it presents a nonadditive fuzzy integral technique to evaluate a green engineering industry case as a fuzzy multicriteria decision-making (FMCDM) problem. When the investment strategies are evaluated from various aspects, such as economic effectiveness, technical feasibil...

The semireactive bargaining set, a solution for cooperative games, is introduced. This solution is in general a subsolution of the bargaining set and a supersolution of the reactive bargaining set. However, on various classes of transferable utility games the semireactive and the reactive bargaining set coincide. The semireactive prebargaining set on TU games can be axiomatized by one-person ra...

Based upon the upper expected value, lower expected value and expected value operators of a fuzzy variable, this paper first presents three types of multicriteria maximum expected value models. Then a theorem about the connection of Pareto solutions among the maximum expected value models is proved. In addition, the relationship between maximum and minimum expected value models is discussed. At...

The environmental impact assessment (EIA) is a real problem of multicriteria decision making (MCDM) where information, as much quantitative as qualitative, coexists. The traditional methods of MCDM developed for the EIA discriminates in favor of quantitative information at the expense of qualitative information, because we are unable to integrate this latter information inside their procedure. ...

This paper proposes an improved score function for the effective ranking order of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) and an interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS method based on the score function to solve multicriteria decision-making problems in which all the preference information provided by decision-makers is expressed as interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy decision ...

Global real estate investments have been one of the popular investment areas since developments in transportation vehicles among countries, significant reduction in travelling costs, and suitable legal arrangements for purchasing real estates in a foreign country have made it attractive. This investment decision is composed of three stages: Selection of a country, selection of a city, and selec...

A Transferable Utility (TU) game with n players specifies a vector of 2 − 1 real numbers, i.e. a number for each non-empty coalition, and this can be difficult to handle for large n. Therefore, several models from the literature focus on interaction situations which are characterized by a compact representation of a TU-game, and such that the worth of each coalition can be easily computed. Some...

Personnel evaluation is an important process in human resource management. The multicriteria nature and the presence of both qualitative and quantitative factors make it considerably more complex. In this study, a fuzzy hybrid multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) model is proposed to personnel evaluation. This model solves personnel evaluation problem in a fuzzy environment where both criteria ...

The interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set (IVIFS) which is an extension of the Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy set is a powerful tool for modeling real life decision making problems. In this paper, we propose the emph{generalized interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy Hamacher generalized Shapley Choquet integral} (GIVIFHGSCI) and the emph{interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy Hamacher general...

The main goal of this contribution is to introduce the concept of higher order hesitant fuzzy soft set as an extension of fuzzy soft set that encompasses most of the existing extensions of fuzzy soft set as special cases. Furthermore, this new concept provides us with a method for dealing with multicriteria fuzzy decision making problems which are difficult to explain in other existing extensio...
