Abstract

As a result of uncertainty and complexity for environments of decision-making, it is more suitable for decision makers to use hesitant fuzzy linguistic information. In this paper, a novel group decision making (GDM) model based on fuzzy linear programming is proposed for incomplete comparative expressions with hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (HFLTSs). We establish an equivalence theorem of additive consistency between 2-tuple fuzzy linguistic preference relation (FLPR) and corresponding fuzzy preference relation. Based on this framework, a fuzzy linear programming is established to address incomplete comparative expressions with HFLTSs. It is more important that the proposed fuzzy linear programming has a double action, finding the highest consistent incomplete 2-tuple FLPR and increasing inconsistent 2-tuple FLPR to the additive consistent 2-tuple FLPR based on given incomplete comparative expressions with HFLTSs. By this means, a novel GDM model is constructed based on importance induced ordered weighted averaging operator. Finally, an investment decision-making in real-world is solved by the proposed model, which shows the result of GDM is effectiveness.
