Double hierarchy linguistic term set and its extensions: The state‐of‐the‐art survey

Double hierarchy linguistic term set (DHLTS) is a powerful tool when expressing the real thoughts of experts and handling complex linguistic information considering that it divides complex linguistic information into two simple linguistic hierarchies in which the first hierarchy linguistic term set (LTS) is the main linguistic hierarchy and the second hierarchy LTS is the linguistic feature or detailed supplementary of each linguistic term in the first hierarchy LTS. Some extensions of DHLTS have been developed, such as the double hierarchy hesitant fuzzy LTS, the unbalanced DHLTS, the linguistic preference ordering, the double hierarchy linguistic preference relation, and the double hierarchy hesitant fuzzy linguistic preference relation. In recent years, DHLTS and its extensions have been researched by scholars in lots of fields, including the extended concepts, the operational laws, the comparative methods, the measure methods, the consistency and consensus methods, the decision‐making methods, the applications, and so forth. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to review all the researches of DHLTS and its extensions, as well as proposing some challenges in the future.
