Multi-criteria Group Decision-Making Based on Interval Neutrosophic Uncertain Linguistic Variables and Choquet Integral

Abstract

Background/Introduction The interval neutrosophic uncertain linguistic variables (INULVs) can be better at handling the uncertainty of the decision-makers’ cognition in multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) problems. Most MCGDM methods with INULVs are based on the supposition that all criteria are independent; however, they may be correlative in real decisions. The Choquet integral can process MCGDM problems with correlated criteria, which fail to aggregate INULVs. So, it is necessary and meaningful to propose the MCGDM method with INULVs based on the Choquet integral by considering the correlations between the attributes.
