Abstract

This study describes a consistency-based approach for multiperson decision-making (MPDM) in which decision-makers’ suggestions are expressed as incomplete interval-valued fuzzy preference relations. The presented approach utilizes Lukasiewicz’s t-norm in conjunction with additive reciprocity to obtain comprehensive interval valued fuzzy preference relations from each expert, and the transitive closure formula also produces L -consistency. We would evaluate the consistency weights of the experts using consistency analysis. Experts are allocated final priority weights by combining the consistency weights and preset weights. A collective consistency matrix is then constructed from the weighted sum of preference matrices. After computing the possibility degrees, the normalization procedure is utilized to generate complimentary matrices, and the final ranking values of alternatives are derived as well. Finally, a numerical example demonstrates the efficacy of the suggested approach following a comparison analysis.
