A Revised Picture Fuzzy Linguistic Aggregation Operator and Its Application to Group Decision-Making

An efficient spherical fuzzy MEREC-CoCoSo approach based on novel score function and aggregation operators for group decision making

The major objective of the current investigation is to build an integrated multiple criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) methodology based on combined compromise solution (CoCoSo) and spherical fuzzy set for determining the optimal solar power station. To begin with, an innovative spherical fuzzy score function is brought forward to strengthen the efficiency of the comparison for spherical fuzzy number (SFN). Secondly, several newly operational laws for SFN are defined and some novel aggregation operation based on them are propounded. The corresponding excellent properties of the novel operators are also explored at length. Further, the spherical fuzzy method on the removal effects of criteria (MEREC) technique is presented by the proposed score function to work out the importance of the criteria. Lastly, an MCGDM approach is propounded based on improved spherical fuzzy CoCoSo to obtain the ranking of the solar power station locations. The feasibility and practicability of the proposed SF-MEREC-CoCoSo method are investigated through the comparison study with the extant methods. The sensibility analysis is also executed to discuss the robustness and stability of the propounded methodology.

A novel picture fuzzy linguistic Muirhead Mean aggregation operators and their application to multiple attribute decision making

The Picture fuzzy linguistic set (PFLS) is an extension of the intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) and linguistic variables (LVs), which has been applied successfully in the process of decision making. Considering the lack of closeness of extant PFLS operations and the interrelationship among input attributes do not consider. In this paper, for the sake of addressing those limitations, we firstly redefine some novel operational laws for PFLS by introducing linguistic scale functions and the related properties are studied. Then, a novel score function and accuracy function are also defined to compare PFLSs. Subsequently, in consideration of the superiority of the Muirhead Mean (MM) operator in capturing the interaction relationship between the input parameters, we extend the MM operator to the Picture fuzzy linguistic context and then propose Picture fuzzy linguistic weighted MM operator and its dual form in a new light. After that, these operators have adopted to build two novel models to solve multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) problems. Finally, a practical example for the selection of the innovative “Mobike” sharing bike design is provided to illustrate the practicality and effectiveness of proposed approaches.
