Dynamic Chaotic Multi-Attribute Group Decision Making under Weighted T-Spherical Fuzzy Soft Rough Sets
Abstract
In this article, the parameter of the decision maker’s familiarity with the attributes of the alternatives is introduced for the first time in dynamic multi-attribute group decision making to avoid the disadvantages arising from the inappropriate grouping of decision makers. We combine it with fuzzy soft rough set theory and dynamic multi-attribute-grouping decision making to obtain a new decision model, i.e., dynamic chaotic multiple-attribute group decision making. Second, we provide an algorithm for solving this model under a weighted T-spherical fuzzy soft rough set, which can not only achieve symmetry between decision evaluation and fuzzy information but also establish a good symmetrical balance between decision makers and attributes (evaluation indexes). Finally, a specific numerical computation case is proposed to illustrate the convenience and effectiveness of our constructed algorithm. Our contributions to the literature are: (1) We introduced familiarity for the first time in dynamic multi-attribute group decision making. This makes our given dynamic chaotic multi-attribute group decision-making (DCMAGDM) model more general and closer to the actual situation; (2) we combined dynamic chaotic multi-attribute group decision making with T-spherical fuzzy soft rough set theory to make the model more realistic and reflect the actual situation. In addition, our choice of T-spherical fuzzy soft rough set allows the decision maker to engage in a sensible evaluation rather than sticking to numerical size choices; and (3) we constructed a new and more convenient sorting/ranking algorithm based on weighted T-spherical fuzzy soft rough sets.
