Abstract

Linguistic information processing exists in multi-criteria decision making, and linguistic truth-valued lattice implication algebra (LTV-LIA) has definite advantages in handling comparable and incomparable linguistic values. To deal with the preference relations with linguistic evaluation information, we establish a novel approach for solving fuzzy multi-criteria decision problem under linguistic information based on LTV-LIA. In this paper, we propose linguistic lattice-valued preference relation (LLVPR). LLVPR positive and negative matrixes are introduced to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of alternatives respectively. In order to get a reasonable result, we introduce a new algorithm to check and repair the consistency of a LLVPR. A linguistic lattice-valued 2-tuple representation model (LLV2-tuple) and some new aggregation operations are presented to get the comprehensive linguistic information without information loss. Considering different decision makers have different preferences, a multiple preferences implication operation of LLV2-tuple is introduced. Finally, we propose a novel linguistic analytic hierarchy process embedded in aggregation layer and implication layer, introducing algorithm and numerical examples. A comparative analysis is adopted to illustrate the rationality.
