Extended TODIM method for MADM problem under trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy environment

Abstract

In actual decision making process, the final decision result is often affected by decision maker's psychological behavior, however, for the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problem in which attributes values are expressed with trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, there are few literatures considering the decision maker's behavior factors in decision making process. For this case, this paper first proposes a new distance measure of TIFNs and a new ranking method which considers decision maker's attitude behavior, and then develops an extended TODIM decision making method. Finally an example is given to illustrate the validity and practicability of the proposed method.
