Description
Summary:In this paper, we propose a new multiple attribute decision making (MADM) method based on the nonlinear programming (NLP) methodology, the TOPSIS method and interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy values (IVIFVs). The evaluating values of the alternatives with respect to attributes and the attributes’ weights are represented by IVIFVs. The NLP methodology is applied to get the optimal attributes’ weights. The proposed MADM method can overcome the drawbacks of the existing MADM methods to deal with MADM problems using IVIFVs.
