Abstract: With respect to the interval neutrosophic multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) problems, the MADM method based on some interval neutrosophic aggregation operators is developed. Firstly, the induced generalized interval neutrosophic hybrid arithmetic averaging (IGINHAA) operator and the induced generalized interval neutrosophic hybrid geometric mean (IGINHGM) operator are proposed, w...

In smart parking environments, how to choose suitable parking facilities with various attributes to satisfy certain criteria is an important decision issue. Based on the multiple attributes decision making (MADM) theory, this study proposed a smart parking guidance algorithm by considering three representative decision factors (i.e., walk duration, parking fee, and the number of vacant parking ...

In a heterogeneous wireless network environment services are ubiquitously delivered over multiple wireless access technologies. Ranking of the alternatives and selection of the most efficient and suitable access network to meet the QoS requirements of a specific service, as these are defined by the user, constitutes thus an important issue. Decisions on which network to connect to are however d...

Quantitative and qualitative fuzzy measures have been proposed to hesitant fuzzy sets 9 (HFSs) from different points. However, few of the existing HFSs fuzzy measures refer to the grey 10 relational analysis (GRA) theory. Actually, the GRA theory is very useful in the fuzzy measure 11 domain, which has been developed for such the intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Therefore, in this paper, 12 we apply ...

Many real life decision making problems can be modeled as stochastic multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems. A novel method for stochastic MADM problems is developed based on the ideal and nadir solutions as in the classical TOPSIS method. In a stochastic MADM problem, the evaluations of the alternatives with respect to the different attributes are represented by discrete stochastic va...

Entropy is an important tool to describe the degree of uncertainty fuzzy sets. In this study, we first define a new entropy and distance measure in linguistic q-Rung orthopair (LIVqROF) environment, verify its correctness rationality. Secondly, LIVqROF formula effectively applied multi-attribute decision making (MADM) with unknown attribute weights, which provides idea for solving MADM problems...

A typical approach to handle the complexity of multi-faceted decision-making problems is to use multiattribute decision-making (MADM) methods based on pairwise comparisons. Fuzzy set theory has also been employed to cope with the uncertainty and vagueness involved in conducting the comparisons between components of a decision model. An important issue regarding the reliability of the output is ...

In order to resolve cases related to an alternative selection problems (MADM problems), various methods have been applied. Many methods are used to solve the MADM problems, which sometimes give different results. To resolve MADM problem, we can use AHP and TOPSIS methods. The advantages of AHP method are it can provide solutions through the analysis of quantitative and qualitative decision. In ...

As one of the emerging renewable resources, the use of photovoltaic cells has become a promise for offering clean and plentiful energy. The selection of a best photovoltaic cell for a promoter plays a significant role in aspect of maximizing income, minimizing costs and conferring high maturity and reliability, which is a typical multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problem. Although many ...

Purpose: In this article, we combine this new approach based on the concepts of Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to evaluate and select the best supplier. Design/methodology/approach: Supplier evaluation is a Multi-Attribute Decision-Making (MADM) problem that is affected by quantitative and qualitative factors, some of which may conflict. Since most of th...
