Multiattribute Decision-Making Method Based on Hesitant Triangular Fuzzy Power Average Operator

In the decision-making process, it often happens that decision makers hesitate between several possible preference values, so the multiattribute decision-making (MADM) problem of hesitant triangle fuzzy elements (HTFEs) has been widely studied. In related research works, different operators are used to fuse information, and the weighting model is used to represent the degree of difference between information fusion on various indicators, but the mutual influence between information is often not considered. In this sense, the purpose of this paper is to study the MADM problem of the hesitant triangular fuzzy power average (HTFPA) operator. First, the hesitant triangular fuzzy power-weighted average operator (HTFPWA) and the hesitant triangular fuzzy power-weighted geometric (HTFPWG) operator are given, their properties are analyzed and special cases are discussed. Then, a MADM method based on the HTFPWA operator and the HTFPWG operator is developed, and an example of selecting futures products is used to illustrate the results of applying the proposed method to practical problems. Finally, the effectiveness and feasibility of the HTFPA operator are verified by comparative analysis with existing methods.
