Fuzzy Sets and Systems

TOPSIS and VIKOR are two well-known and widely-used multiple attribute decision making methods. Many extensions of these methods have been proposed that either use different techniques to rank alternatives or utilize fuzzy logic to ...

We apply methods and techniques of tropical optimization to develop a new theoretical and computational framework for the implementation of the Analytic Hierarchy Process in multi-criteria problems of rating alternatives from pairwise ...

Within the paradigm of the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution (GMCR), fuzzy reciprocal preference relations (FPRs) can be usually employed to handle decision makers' (DMs') certain and uncertain preferences. Due to lack of time, ...

• A new preference structure is designed for modeling complex preferences.
• This ...

A new hybrid preference structure combining multiple-level strength of preference and fuzzy preference is proposed to facilitate the modeling and analysis of strategic conflicts involving multiple decision makers (DMs) with complex ...

How to leverage massive online data to understand consumer preferences over products and services has accumulated significant attention in business. In this paper, we analyze consumer preferences by modeling it as a decision-making ...

Multi-objective linguistic optimization problems (MOLOPs) are quite useful in modeling a number of real life problems. The decision variables used to define the problem constraints and the objective functions take linguistic values in ...

Due to a considerable degree of uncertainty, the generation of robust schedules for the execution of product development projects is a crucial planning task. In the area of robust project scheduling, one basic option is to apply ...
