A generalized multi-attribute group decision making with intuitionistic fuzzy set

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to introduce a new decision making model called the generalized multi-attribute group decision making (GMAGDM), which provides a very general form that includes multi-attribute decision making (MADM) and multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) as two special cases. A GMAGDM under intuitionistic fuzzy environment is proposed. The relation between intuitionistic fuzzy set and hesitant fuzzy set is utilized. Then we propose a hesitant fuzzy TOPSIS method for the solution of the mentioned problem. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the flexibility and validity of the proposed approach. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
