Dual hesitant fuzzy multi-criteria decision making and its application to teaching quality assessment.

The dual hesitant fuzzy set is an efficient mathematical approach to study imprecise, uncertain or incomplete information or knowledge. In this paper, we study the aggregation methods of the dual hesitant fuzzy information. Several aggregation operators are proposed, such as the generalized dual hesitant fuzzy weighted averaging operator (GDHFWA), the generalized dual hesitant fuzzy ordered weighted averaging operator (GDHFOWA) and the generalized dual hesitant fuzzy hybrid averaging operator (GDHFHA) operator for aggregating the dual hesitant fuzzy elements and establish various properties of these operators. A method is also proposed for multi-criteria decision making under dual hesitant fuzzy environment and applied it to teaching quality assessment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
