Some interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy Schweizer–Sklar power aggregation operators and their application to supplier selection

ABSTRACT Supplier selection is an important multiple attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problem. How to choose a suitable supplier is an evaluation process with different alternatives of multiple attributes, and it also relates to the expression of the evaluation value. Considering Schweizer–Sklar t-conorm and t-norm (SSTT) can make the information aggregation process more flexible than others, and the power average (PA) operator can eliminate effects of unreasonable data from biased decision-makers. So, we extend SSTT to interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IVIFNs) and define Schweizer–Sklar operational rules of IVIFNs. Then, we combine the PA operator with Schweizer–Sklar operations, and propose the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy Schweizer–Sklar power average operator, the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy Schweizer–Sklar power weighted average (IVIFSSPWA) operator, the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy Schweizer–Sklar power geometric operator and the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy Schweizer–Sklar power weighted geometric (IVIFSSPWG) operator, respectively. Furthermore, we study some desirable characteristics of them and develop two methods on the basis of IVIFSSPWA and IVIFSSPWG operators. At the same time, we apply the two methods to deal with the MAGDM problems based on supplier selection. Finally, an illustrative example of supplier selection problem is given to testify the availability of the presented operators.
