In this paper, the CODAS (CombinativeDistance-basedAssessment) is utilized to address someMAGDMissues by using picture 2-tuple linguistic numbers (P2TLNs). At first, some essential concepts of picture 2-tuple linguistic sets (P2TLSs) are briefly reviewed. Then, the CODAS method with P2TLNs is constructed and all calculating procedures are simply depicted. Eventually, an empirical application of green supplier selection has been offered to demonstrate this novel method and some comparative analysis between the CODAS method with P2TLNs and several methods are also made to confirm the merits of the developed method.

In this paper, we extend MM operator and dual MM (DMM) operator to process the interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy numbers (IVPFNs) and then to solve the MADM problems. Firstly, we develop some interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy Muirhead mean operators by extending MM and DMM operators to IVPFNs. Then, we prove some properties and discuss some special cases with respect to the parameter vector. Moreover, we present some new methods to deal with MADM problems with the IVPFNs based on the proposed MM and DMM operators. Finally, we verify the validity and reliability of our methods by using an application example for green supplier selections, and analyse the advantages of our methods by comparing it with other existing methods.

For this article, we shall expand the TODIMmodel to the MADM with the picture fuzzy numbers (PFNs). Firstly, the concept, comparative method and distance of PFNs are introduced and the traditional TODIMmodel is presented. Then, the expanded TODIMmodel is developed to solve MADMproblems with PFNs. Finally, a numerical example is given to verify the proposed approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The picture fuzzy set is characterized by three functions expressing the degree of membership, the degree of neutral membership and the degree of non-membership. It was proposed as a generalization of an intuitionistic fuzzy set in order to deal with indeterminate and inconsistent information. In this work, we shall present some novel Dice similarity measures of picture fuzzy sets and the generalized Dice similarity measures of picture fuzzy sets and indicate that the Dice similarity measures and asymmetric measures (projection measures) are the special cases of the generalized Dice similarity measures in some parameter values. Then, we propose the generalized Dice similarity measures-based patterns recognition models with picture fuzzy information. Then, we apply the generalized Dice similarity measures between picture fuzzy sets to building material recognition. Finally, an illustrative example is given to demonstrate the efficiency of the similarity measures for building material recognition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we presented another form of eight similarity measures between PFSs based on the cosine function between PFSs by considering the degree of positive membership, degree of neutral membership, degree of negative membership and degree of refusal membership in PFSs. Then, we applied these weighted cosine function similarity measures between PFSs to strategic decision making. Finally, an illustrative example for selecting the optimal production strategy is given to demonstrate the efficiency of the similarity measures for strategic decision making problem.

In this paper, we present the 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic CODAS model based on the traditional fuzzy CODAS (combinative distance-based assessment) model and some fundamental theories of 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic information. Firstly, we briefly review the definition of 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic sets (2TLNSs) and introduce the score function, the accuracy function, operation laws and some aggregation operators of 2TLNNs. Then, the calculation steps of traditional fuzzy CODAS model are briefly presented. Furthermore, by combining the traditional fuzzy CODAS model with 2TLNNs information, the 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic CODAS model is established and the computing steps for multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) are simply depicted. Our presented model is more accurate and effective for considering the combinative form of two distance measurements, including fuzzy weighted Hamming distance (HD) and fuzzy weighted Euclidean distance (ED). Finally, a numerical example for safety assessment of construction project has been given to illustrate this new model and some comparisons between 2TLNNs CODAS model and two 2TLNNs aggregation operators are also made to further illustrate the advantages of the new method.
