Approach to obtaining weights of uncertain ordered weighted geometric averaging operator

The ordered weighted geometric averaging（OWGA） operator is extended to accommodate uncertain conditions where all input arguments take the forms of interval numbers. First, a possibility degree formula for the comparison between interval numbers is introduced. It is proved that the introduced formula is equivalent to the existing formulae, and also some desired properties of the possibility degree is presented. Secondly, the uncertain OWGA operator is investigated in which the associated weighting parameters cannot be specified, but value ranges can be obtained and the associated aggregated values of an uncertain OWGA operator are known. A linear objective-programming model is established; by solving this model, the associated weights vector of an uncertain OWGA operator can be determined, and also the estimated aggregated values of the alternatives can be obtained. Then the alternatives can be ranked by the comparison of the estimated aggregated values using the possibility degree formula. Finally, a numerical example is given to show the feasibility and effectiveness of the developed method.

A Novel Dependent Aggregation Approach for Intuitionistic Uncertain Linguistic Multiple Attribute Group Decision Making

The multiple attribute group decision making problem in which the input arguments take the form of intuitionistic uncertain linguistic information is studied in the paper.Based on the operational principles of intuitionistic uncertain linguistic variables and the concept of the expected value and accuracy function,some new dependent aggregation operators with intuitionistic uncertain linguistic information including the dependent intuitionistic uncertain linguistic ordered weighted average(DIULOWA)operator,the dependent intuitionistic uncertain linguistic ordered weighted geometric(DIULOWG)operator,the generalized dependent intuitionistic uncertain linguistic ordered weighted aggregation(GDIULOWA)operator and so on are developed,in which the associated weights only depend on the aggregated arguments.Also,we study some desirable properties of the aggregation operators.Moreover,the approach of multiple attribute group decision making with intuitionistic uncertain linguistic information based on the developed operators is proposed.Finally,an illustrative numerical example is given to show the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed approaches.
