A new method for multiattribute decision making based on interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets, PSO techniques and evidential reasoning methodology

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new multiattribute decision making method based on interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets, particle swarm optimization (PSO) techniques and the evidential reasoning methodology. The proposed methods can overcome the drawbacks of the existing method for multiattribute decision making based on interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets. It provides us with a useful way for multiattribute decision making based on interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets.
