Abstract
Despite of several generalizations of fuzzy set theory, the notion of hesitant fuzzy set (HFS), which permits the membership having a set of possible values, is interesting and very useful in modeling real-life problems with anonymity. In this article, we introduce a new score function for ranking hesitant fuzzy elements (HFEs), which are the fundamental units of HFSs. Comparison with the existing score function shows that the proposed method meets all the well-known properties of a ranking measure and has no counterintuitive examples. On the basis of the relationships between the aggregation operators for HFEs, we derive a series of interesting properties of the new score function. Finally, we apply the proposed score function to solve the hesitant fuzzy multiattribute decision-making problems.
