Firstly, a degree of similarity formula between GITFNs is presented. Secondly, expert preference information on different alternatives is clustered into several aggregations via the fuzzy clustering method. As the clustering proceeds, an index of group preference consistency is introduced to ensure the clustering effect, and then the group preference information on different alternatives is obtained. Thirdly, the TOPSIS method is used to rank the alternatives. Finally, an example is taken to show the feasibility and effectiveness of this approach. These method can ensure the consistency degree of group preference, thus decision efficiency of emergency response activities can be improved.展开更多

Identifying the various degrees of diseasebased on the doctor's diagnosis is an important step in developing the hierarchical healthcaretreatment structure. This research presents a framework for dealing with the issueof diagnosis values presented as "picture fuzzy numbers (PFNs)". Specifically, the goal ofthis study is to establish some innovative operational laws and "aggregation operators"(AOs) in a picture fuzzy environment. In this regard, we proposed some new neutral orfair operational laws that incorporate the concept of proportional distribution in orderto achieve a neutral or fair remedy to the positive, neutral and negative aspects ofPFNs. Based on the developed operational laws, we proposed the "picture fuzzy fairlyweighted average operator" and the "picture fuzzy fairly ordered weighted averagingoperator". Compared to previous techniques, the proposed AOs provide more generalizedand reliable. Furthermore, using proposed AOs with multiple decision-makers andpartial weight information under PFNs, a "multi-criteria decision-making" algorithmis developed. Finally, we provide an example to show how the novel approach can aidhierarchical treatment systems. This is essential for merging the healthcare capabilitiesof the general public and optimizing the medical care system's service performance.展开更多

Firstly, a fuzzy set of the fuzzy solutions, which can be focused on providing complete information for the final decision, can be obtained by the proposed tolerance analysis of a non-dominated set. Secondly, the satisfying solution for the decisionmaker can be derived from Pareto optimal solutions by updating the current reference membership levels on the basis of the current levels of the membership functions together with the trade-off rates between the membership functions.展开更多
