Abstract

For decision makers, expressing their opinions through subintervals of [0, 1] is sometimes easier than using crisp numbers. This study defines some outranking relations derived by ELECTRE III for hesitant interval-valued fuzzy sets (HIVFSs). The properties of these outranking relations are discussed in detail. The concordance and discordance indexes of HIVFSs are then proposed. Ranking approach is developed based on the outranking relations of HIVFSs to handle multi-criteria decision-making problems. Finally, we provide practical examples, as well as sensitivity analysis and comparison with other techniques.
