Abstract

How to aggregate decision information in heterogeneous multiattribute group decision making (HMAGDM) is vital. The aim of this paper is to develop an approach to aggregating decision data into intuitionistic triangular fuzzy numbers (ITFNs) for heterogeneous MAGDM problems with real numbers (RNs), interval numbers (INs), triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs), trapezoidal fuzzy numbers (TrFNs), and triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number (TIFNs). Using the relative closeness of technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) and geometry entropy method, we first present a general approach to aggregating heterogeneous information into ITFNs, which takes the group consistency of experts into account. Based on the collective intuitionistic triangular fuzzy decision matrix and extended TOPSIS, a multiple objective mathematical program is constructed to determine the optimal attribute weights. Subsequently, a new method to solve HMAGDM problems is presented based on the aforementioned discussion. A trustworthy service selection example is provided to verify the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed method.
