Abstract

In a multi-criteria group decision analysis, numerous methods have been developed and proposed to determine the weight of each criterion; however, the group decision methods, except AHP, have rarely considered for obtaining the criteria weights. This study presents a new TOPSIS method based on interval-valued hesitant fuzzy information to compute the criteria weights. In this respect, the weight of each expert and the experts’ judgments about the criteria weights are considered in the proposed procedure. In addition, an application example about the location problem is provided to show the capability of the proposed weighting method. Finally, results of the proposed method are compared with some methods from the related literature in the presented illustrative example to show the validation of the proposed interval-valued hesitant fuzzy TOPSIS method.
