Abstract

Considering the situation where decision values are \(q\)-rung orthopair triangular fuzzy number (\(q\)-ROTFN) and pair-wise comparisons of alternatives and evaluation matrices are given by decision-makers, a new group decision-making method is necessary to be studied for solving a group decision-making problem in the above situation. In this paper, we firstly proposed a \(q\)-rung orthopair triangular fuzzy weighted average (\(q\)-ROTFWA) operator based on the WA operator. In a second step, a linear programming technique for the multidimensional analysis of preferences (LINMAP) model based on \(q\)-ROTFN was formulated, which is used to obtain the weight of each attribute through partial preference information. A distance formula was introduced to get the ranking order of schemes and the best alternative. Finally, the weighted average LINMAP (WA-LINMAP) method was illustrated in a case study to verify its effectiveness. It is found in the experiment that the change of the \(q\) value does not affect the ranking of the schemes. The comparative analysis further confirms the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.
