A Novel Approach of Linguistic Picture Fuzzy Dombi Heronian Mean Operators and their Application to Emergency Program Selection

ABSTRACT In decision support systems, linguistic fuzzy information played an important role and the linguistic fuzzy aggregation operators (AOs) worked in group decision support systems. Recently, we proposed the linguistic picture fuzzy (LPF) sets, which is the extension of the linguistic intuitionist fuzzy sets, to reflect the ambiguity and vagueness of knowledge in decision-making (DM) problem. The goal of this research work is to define a new family of LPF AOs through the use of Dombi operations and Heronian mean (HM) operator. In addition to fusing individual attribute values, the evolved operators are good ability to handle the common association between the attributes, making them more appropriate to effectively solve difficult multi-attribute DM (MADM) problems. Therefore, we developed an approach for MADM problem based on LPF Dombi HM operators and solved an emergency programme selection problem. The comparison section provides the effectiveness, reliability and practicality.
