GROUP DECISION MAKING APPROACH BASED ON POSSIBILITY DEGREE MEASURE UNDER LINGUISTIC INTERVAL-VALUED INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY SET ENVIRONMENT

In the present article, we extended the idea of the linguistic intuitionistic fuzzy set to linguistic interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (LIVIF) set to represent the data by the interval-valued linguistic terms of membership and non-membership degrees. Some of the desirable properties of the proposed set are studied. Also, we propose a new ranking method named as possibility degree measures to compare the two or more different LIVIF numbers. During the aggregation process, some LIVIF weighted and ordered weighted aggregation operators are proposed to aggregate the collections of the LIVIF numbers. Finally, based on these proposed operators and possibility degree measure, a new group decision making approach is presented to rank the different alternatives. A real-life case has been studied to manifest the practicability and feasibility of the proposed group decision making method.
