By using a number of linear programming models, Bryson and Mobolurin propose an approach to compute attribute weights and overall values of the alternatives in the form of interval numbers. The intervals of the overall values of alternatives are then transformed into points or crisp values for comparisons among the alternatives. However, the attribute weights are different because of the use of linear programming models in Bryson and Mobolurin＇s approach. Thus, the alternatives are not comparable because different attribute weights are employed to calculate the overall values of the alternatives. A new approach is proposed to overcome the drawbacks of Bryson and Mobolurin＇s approach. By transforming the decision matrix with intervals into the one with crisp values, a new linear programming model is proposed, to calculate the attribute weights for conducting alternative ranking.展开更多

In practical applications, we find that the results derived by using the traditional intuitionistic triangular fuzzy aggregation operators based on intuitionistic triangular fuzzy sets are sometimes inconsistent with intuition. To overcome this issue, based on the [1/9, 9] scale, we define the concepts of intuitionistic multiplicative triangular fuzzy set and intuitionistic multiplicative triangular fuzzy number, and then we discuss their operational laws and some desirable properties. Based on the operational laws, we develop a series of aggregation operators for intuitionistic multiplicative triangular fuzzy information, and then apply them to propose an approach to multi-attribute decision making under intuitionistic fuzzy environments. Finally, we use a practical example involving the evaluation of investment alternatives of an investment company to demonstrate our aggregation operators and decision making approach.展开更多
