Method of Multi-Attribute Decision Making for Interval-Valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets Based on Mentality Function

Abstract:

This paper has summarized the current ranking method for interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, and then through the introduction of decision-makers’ mentality indicator, presented a new ranking method for interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers based on mentality function. Not only the nature of mentality function is deeply discussed but also the decision-making model based on the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers is constructed. At last, an example is illustrated to prove the model's accuracy and effectiveness.
