Multi-attribute decision-making based on prioritized aggregation operator under hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic environment (Q2333455)

Summary: A hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic set (HIFLS) that integrates both qualitative and quantitative evaluations is an extension of the linguistic set, intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS), hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) and hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy set (HIFS). It can describe the qualitative evaluation information given by the decision-makers (DMs) and reflect their uncertainty. In this article, we defined some new operational laws and comparative method for HIFLSs. Then, based on these operations, we propose two prioritized aggregation (PA) operators for HIFLSs: prioritized weighted averaging operator for HIFLSs (HIFLPWA) and prioritized weighted geometric operator for HIFLSs (HIFLPWG). Based on these aggregation operators, an approach for multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) is developed under the environment of HIFLSs. Finally, a practical example is given to show the practicality and effectiveness of the developed approach by comparing with the other representative methods.
