Multi-criteria decision-making based on generalized prioritized aggregation operators under simplified neutrosophic uncertain linguistic environment

This paper develops some generalized simplified neutrosophic uncertain linguistic prioritized weighted aggregation operators and applies them to solve multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems.

Abstract

A simplified neutrosophic uncertain linguistic set that integrates quantitative and qualitative evaluation can serve as an extension of both an uncertain linguistic variable and a simplified neutrosophic set. It can describe the real preferences of decision-makers and reflect their uncertainty, incompleteness and inconsistency. This paper focuses on multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems in which the criteria occupy different priority levels and the criteria values take the form of simplified neutrosophic uncertain linguistic elements. Having reviewed the relevant literatures, this paper develops some generalized simplified neutrosophic uncertain linguistic prioritized weighted aggregation operators and applies them to solve MCDM problems. Finally, an illustrative example is given, and two cases of comparison analysis are conducted with other representative methods to demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the developed approach.
