Abstract

In this paper, the existing definition of the group-based generalized intuitionistic fuzzy soft set is clarified and redefined by merging intuitionistic fuzzy soft set over the set of alternatives and a group of intuitionistic fuzzy sets on parameters. In this prospect, two new subsets of the group-based generalized intuitionistic fuzzy soft set are proposed and several operations are contemplated. The two new aggregation operators called generalized group-based weighted averaging and generalized group-based weighted geometric operator are introduced. The related properties of proposed operators are discussed. The recent research is emerging on multi-attribute decision making methods based on soft sets, intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets, and generalized intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets. An algorithm is structured and two case studies of multi-attribute decision makings are considered using proposed operators. Further, we provide the comparison and advantages of the proposed method, which give superiorities over recent major existing methods.

Highlights

  • The concept of fuzzy soft sets was popularized by Maji et al [1], in the combination of fuzzy sets (Zadeh [2]) and soft sets (Molodtsov [3], Maji [4] and Ali [5])

  • To analyze the real-life problems, different types of uncertainties have been evaluated with fuzzy soft sets [6] and it has wide range of applications to deal with parameterizations and granularity

  • We introduce group-based generalized weighted averaging (GBGWA) and group-based generalized weighted geometric (GBGWG) operators on group-based GIFSS (GGIFSS)

Summary

Introduction

The concept of fuzzy soft sets was popularized by Maji et al [1], in the combination of fuzzy sets (Zadeh [2]) and soft sets (Molodtsov [3], Maji [4] and Ali [5]). The geometric [28], and arithmetic aggregation operators [27] have been studied in diverse fields and especially in multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems in financial management, medical diagnosis, business and engineering designs [29,30,31,32]. Despite there being the applicability of IFSSs in diverse fields, an opinion of an expert who implicitly exercises his assessments on parameters of an IFSS is needed On this motivation, Agarwal et al [39], who popularized generalized intuitionistic fuzzy soft set (GIFSS) by including assessment of a moderator on parameters, validating and supporting the information.
