Picture 2-Tuple Linguistic Bonferroni Mean Operators and Their Application to Multiple Attribute Decision Making

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision-making problems with picture 2-tuple linguistic information. Then, we utilize Bonferroni mean and geometric Bonferroni mean operations to develop some picture 2-tuple linguistic aggregation operators: picture 2-tuple linguistic Bonferroni mean operator and picture 2-tuple linguistic geometric Bonferroni mean operator. Some desired properties and special cases of the developed operators are discussed in detail. Furthermore, considering the importance of the input arguments, we propose the picture 2-tuple linguistic weighted Bonferroni mean operator and picture 2-tuple linguistic weighted geometric Bonferroni mean operator. Finally, a practical example for selecting the service outsourcing provider of communications industry is given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.
