Abstract
The purpose of this study is to propose an integrated distance-based methodology for multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) within single-valued neutrosophic linguistic (SVNL) environments. A new SVNL distance measure, namely the SVNL integrated weighted distance (SVNLIWD) measure, is first developed for achieving the aim. The remarkable feature of the SVNLIWD is that it integrates both merits of ordered weighting and average weighting into aggregating SVNL distances; therefore, it can account for both the importance of aggregated deviations as well as ordered positions. Thus, it can highlight the decision makers’ subjective risk attitudes and combine the importance of objective decision information. Some distinctive characteristics and special forms of the presented distance framework are then specifically studied. Moreover, a MAGDM model on the basis of the proposed SVNLIWD form is formulated. Finally, an illustrative numerical case regarding selecting low-carbon supplier is used to test the performance of the designed method.
Highlights
With the increasing vagueness and uncertainties of objects in multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems, people may find it more and more difficult to express accurate evaluation on the attributes during decision process. erefore, it has become a hot issue in decision making areas to research a scientific and reasonable tool for handling such vague and uncertain information
A new powerful fuzzy tool introduced by Ye [8], called the single-valued neutrosophic linguistic set (SVNLS), has attracted growing concerns from worldwide authors. e key feature of the SVNLS is that it takes advantage of both the linguistic terms and single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs), and it can successfully describe the uncertain information comprehensively and reasonably
We first develop a new distance measure for SVNLSs, named the SVNL integrated weighted distance (SVNLIWD) measure, which is a useful extension of the existing SVNLOWAD measure
Summary
With the increasing vagueness and uncertainties of objects in multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems, people may find it more and more difficult to express accurate evaluation on the attributes during decision process. erefore, it has become a hot issue in decision making areas to research a scientific and reasonable tool for handling such vague and uncertain information. Is defect hinders its application in decision making problems To improve this limitation, a new powerful fuzzy tool introduced by Ye [8], called the single-valued neutrosophic linguistic set (SVNLS), has attracted growing concerns from worldwide authors. Chen et al [15] defined the single-valued neutrosophic linguistic OWAD (SVNLOWAD) measure and explored its extension with the TOPSIS model for handling MAGDM with SVNL information. This paper tries to further explore the usefulness of the OWAD in solving SVNL decision making problems To achieve this aim, we first develop a new distance measure for SVNLSs, named the SVNL integrated weighted distance (SVNLIWD) measure, which is a useful extension of the existing SVNLOWAD measure.
