摘要

In this study, an interactive consensus model is proposed for correlated multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems with intuitionistic triangular fuzzy numbers (ITFNs). The harmony degree (HD) is investigated to determine the degree of maintaining experts' original information while the consensus level is defined as the proximity degree (PD) between an expert and other experts on three levels: evaluation elements of alternatives, alternatives, and decision matrices. Combining HD and PD, a three-dimensional feedback mechanism is proposed to identify discordant experts, alternatives, and corresponding preference values that contribute less to consensus, and provides advice to reach a higher consensus level. Additionally, visual representation of experts' consensus position within the group is provided. Furthermore, a graphical simulation of future consensus and harmony status, if the recommended values were to be implemented, is also provided. Therefore, our proposed feedback mechanism guarantees that it increases the consensus level of the set of experts while maintaining, as much as possible, experts' original information. Then, the PD-induced intuitionistic triangular fuzzy correlated averaging (PD-IITFCA) operator is investigated to aggregate the interactive individual opinions between experts. Finally, the intuitionistic triangular fuzzy correlated averaging (ITFCA) operator is developed to aggregate the evaluation elements of alternatives under correlative attributes. Based on the score and accurate functions of ITFNs, an order relation is proposed to obtain the final solution of alternatives.
