In this paper, we introduce the concept of triangular cubic fuzzy numbers. We discuss some basic operational laws of triangular cubic fuzzy numbers and then develop triangular cubic fuzzy weighted average (TCFWA) operator. We also define crisp weighted possibility means of TCFNs and hamming distance between TCFNs. Furthermore, we extend the classical VIKOR method to solve the MCDM method based on triangular cubic fuzzy numbers. The new ranking method for TCFNs is used to rank the alternatives. Finally, an illustrative example is given to verify and demonstrate the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we introduce a new fuzzy decision making technique called the fuzzy induced heavy ordered weighted averaging distance (FIHOWAD) operator. It is an extension of the ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator that uses the main characteristics of the induced OWA (IOWA), the Hamming distance, the heavy OWA (HOWA) and uncertain information represented as fuzzy numbers. A key feature of the FIHOWAD operator is that it generalizes a wide range of aggregation operators such as the fuzzy minimum distance, the fuzzy weighted Hamming distance (FWHD), the fuzzy OWA distance (FOWAD), the fuzzy IOWA distance (FIOWAD) and the fuzzy heavy OWA distance (FHOWAD) operators. We studied some of its main properties and different particular cases. Finally, we present a numerical example to illustrate the new approach in a financial decision making problem.
