Intuitionistic Fuzzy Linguistic Induced Ordered Weighted Averaging Operator for Group Decision Making

With respect to multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems, in which the attribute weights take the form of real numbers, and the attribute values take the form of intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic variables, a decision analysis approach is proposed. In this paper, we develop an intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic induce OWA (IFLIOWA) operator and analyze the properties of it by utilizing some operational laws of intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic variables. A new method based on the IFLIOWA operator for multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) is presented. Finally, a numerical example is used to illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method.
