However, the loss of description about the characteristics of sellers and buyers and the weight information of their inner preference can affect the matching result. By developing a method for a second-hand transaction, this paper proposes a novel approach that considers the matching parties' psychologies, which can improve the matching efficiency. A mathematical model of seller and buyer is performed, and then the price and other evaluation indicators of sellers and buyers are described by five different types. A bilateral matching multi-objective decision-making model is constructed and solved. A real case study of property trade platform is presented to illustrate how the proposed approach could be applied in practice. The results of this research indicate that the proposed approach is a useful tool for matching the sellers and buyers and has substantial practical application.","PeriodicalId":233724,"journal":{"name":"Int.

This paper aims to improve FMEA by introducing the calibrated linguistic semantic (CIS) and a consensus reaching process with minimum adjustment cost. CIS can effectively solve the problem that different individuals may have different understandings of the same term, and the consensus reaching process can reduce the potential inconsistency and conflict to make the result of rank more accurate and convincing. A novel criteria weight allocation method based on the performance of alternatives is used to obtain the relative weights of risk factors (RF), which is not only based on the function framework but also can obtain the relative weight of RFs through the evaluation matrix directly. Then, the proposed FMEA framework is applied to the industrial internet platform. Finally, the comparisons between the proposed and other methods are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and advantages of the new method.","PeriodicalId":233724,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.

By the mathematical expression, the relation between general type-2 fuzzy controller output with parameter of triangular secondary membership function is discussed. Finally, the control performances of proposed general type-2 fuzzy controller are compared with conventional PID controller, tradition type-1 fuzzy controller, and interval type-2 fuzzy controller.

Self-persistence is a significant topic in SNGDM problems, while it is ignored in most existing research. Besides, existing opinion evolution models often ignore high-order interactions because they assume individuals only communicate with their friends or neighbors. With these issues in mind, the authors propose a multi-step interaction opinion dynamics model to manage the consensus in SNGDM problem with self-persistence evolution. Given the decision makers' social network information, the centrality degree, interaction strength, and high-order interactions are combined to construct a social influence network. Inspired by the social influence model, the authors develop an opinion dynamic consensus model which also describes the evolution of self-persistence in a group of decision makers. Finally, an example and detailed simulation experiment are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed consensus model.","PeriodicalId":233724,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Fuzzy Syst.

Therefore, it is significant to use an efficient entropy measure for studying various decision-making problems under IFS environment. This paper first proposes a novel similarity measure for IFS. Based on the proposed similarity measure, an advanced entropy measure is defined with a different axiomatic approach. This axiomatic approach allows us to measure an IFS's entropy with the help of a similarity measure. To show the efficiency of the proposed similarity measure, a comparative study is performed with the existing similarity measures. Some structural linguistic variables are taken as examples to show the validity and consistency of the proposed entropy measure along with the existing entropy measures.

For this purpose, Water-Energy Management Strategy (W-EMS) for a standalone water desalination system powered by PV-Wind source is designed. The proposed W-EMS is based on fuzzy logic. In this context, authors focus on the design phase of the Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) through which three design methods are described and analyzed. The influence of FIS design on W-EMS performance is highlighted. First, it is shown that based on the designer's knowledge, the handmade-FIS can offer good performance for the W-EMS. Then, the water-energy management is formulated as an optimization problem. Therefore, genetic algorithm is used to optimize the FIS design to reduce iterative hand-tuning trials. Furthermore, the design of the fuzzy W-EMS can be addressed by a data-driven approach as a third step. This method shows its good performance in terms of water production and energy efficiency compared to the designed FISs by the two previous methods (handmade tuning and genetic algorithm).","PeriodicalId":233724,"journal":{"name":"Int.

The concept of Pythagorean fuzzy sets (PFS) was first established by Yager to provides a new technique to describe ambiguity with great precision when compared to intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFS) and fuzzy sets (FS). The study of PFS is recently gaining importance due to its wide application in situations involving ambiguity. It can easily be merged with MADM techniques to solve real-life problems. However, many of these measures for PFS are ineffective in the sense that they have fundamental shortcomings that restrict them from providing reliable and consistent results.
