Multiattribute group decision making methods based on linguistic intuitionistic fuzzy power Bonferroni mean operators (Q2012787)

Summary: This paper focuses on the multiattribute group decision making problems with linguistic intuitionistic fuzzy information. Firstly the concept of Linguistic Intuitionistic Fuzzy Numbers (LIFNs) is introduced, and then based on the LIFNs, some new aggregation operators based on Bonferroni mean and power operator are proposed, such as Linguistic Intuitionistic Fuzzy Power Bonferroni Mean (LIFPBM) operator, Linguistic Intuitionistic Fuzzy Weighted Power Bonferroni Mean (LIFWPBM) operator, Linguistic Intuitionistic Fuzzy Geometric Power Bonferroni Mean (LIFGPBM) operator, and Linguistic Intuitionistic Fuzzy Weighted Geometric Power Bonferroni Mean (LIFWGPBM) operator. Then, some properties are proved such as idempotency, permutation, and boundedness. Besides, some special situations of the operators are explored. After that, an approach based of the LIFWGPBM and LIFWGPBM operators is proposed. Finally an example is used to illustrate the validity of the developed method.
