Multiplicative consistency of hesitant fuzzy preference relation and its application in group decision making
TLDR
The concepts ofmultiplicative consistency, perfect multiplicative consistency and acceptable multiplier consistency for a hesitant fuzzy preference relation are introduced and two algorithms are given to improve the inconsistency level of a hesitant fuzzier preference relation.Abstract:
As we may have a set of possible values when comparing alternatives (or criteria), the hesitant fuzzy preference relation becomes a suitable and powerful technique to deal with this case. This paper mainly focuses on the multiplicative consistency of the hesitant fuzzy preference relation. First of all, we explore some properties of the hesitant fuzzy preference relation and develop some new aggregation operators. Then we introduce the concepts of multiplicative consistency, perfect multiplicative consistency and acceptable multiplicative consistency for a hesitant fuzzy preference relation, based on which, two algorithms are given to improve the inconsistency level of a hesitant fuzzy preference relation. Furthermore, the consensus of group decision making is studied based on the hesitant fuzzy preference relations. Finally, several illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the practicality of our algorithms.read more

Hesitant Fuzzy Linguistic VIKOR Method and Its Application in Qualitative Multiple Criteria Decision Making
TL;DR: This paper develops a method to solve the multicriteria decision making (MCDM) problem within the context of HFLTS in which the criteria conflict with each other, and proposes a sort of hesitant fuzzy linguistic measures, which are motivated by the traditional VIKOR method.

Fuzzy preference orderings in group decision making
TL;DR: F fuzzy preference orderings are defined as fuzzy binary relations satisfying reciprocity and max-min transitivity and those orderings might be useful for proceeding the group decision making process smoothly, in the same manner as the extended contributive rule method.
