Prioritized aggregation operators and correlated aggregation operators for hesitant 2-tuple linguistic variables. (English) Zbl 1412.91023

Summary: The aggregation operator is a potential tool to fuse the information derived from multisources, which has been applied in group decision, combination classification and scheduling clusters successfully. To better characterize complex decision situations and capture complex opinions of decision-makers (DMs), aggregation operators are required to be explored from different viewpoints. In view of information fusion of hesitant 2-tuple linguistic variables, this paper establishes four new aggregation operators, which are called the hesitant 2-tuple linguistic prioritized weighted averaging (H2TLPWA) aggregation operator, hesitant 2-tuple linguistic prioritized weighted geometric (H2TLPWG) aggregation operator, hesitant 2-tuple linguistic correlated averaging (H2TLCA) aggregation operator, and hesitant 2-tuple linguistic correlated geometric (H2TLCG) aggregation operator, respectively. The H2TLPWA aggregation operator and H2TLPWG aggregation operator can characterize the prioritization relationship of the aggregated arguments. The H2TLCA aggregation operator and H2TLCG aggregation operator can describe dependencies between criteria in decision-making problem solving. Moreover all aggregation operation operators have the properties of idempotency, boundedness and monotonicity, and the H2TLCA aggregation operator and H2TLCG aggregation operator are also verified to be symmetric functions. In addition, the H2TLPWA aggregation operator and H2TLCA aggregation operator are employed to settle multicriteria decision-making problems with hesitant 2-tuple linguistic terms. By virtue of predefining discrete initial linguistic labels with symmetrical distribution, the detailed steps of the decision-making process with an example are given to illustrate their practicality and effectiveness.
