Hesitant picture 2-tuple linguistic aggregation operators based on Archimedean t-norm and t-conorm and their use in decision-making. (English) Zbl 1425.91131

Summary: An aggregation operator performs the task of fusing multiple sources of information, which plays a pivotal part in realizing a collective opinion in most decision-making activities. Considering the increasing complexity of decision-making situations, it is imperative to extend aggregation operators for fusing uncertain information with the different forms of attribute values. This study focuses on the development of picture fuzzy sets and aims to design a managerial decision-making solving method. Some operational principles of hesitant picture 2-tuple linguistic variables on account of the Archimedean t-norm and t-conorm are initiated, on which two hesitant picture 2-tuple linguistic weighted operators are established by taking various weight forms. Moreover, we explore the aggregation operators’ idempotency, boundedness, and monotonicity, as well as analyze some particular forms of these operators. Furthermore, these aggregation operators are employed to design a method of deriving an overall performance from evaluation of experts with hesitant picture 2-tuple linguistic terms. An example of selecting service outsourcing supplier is carried out to show the procedures of decision-making with a detailed comparative analysis.
