The interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs), based on the intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs), combine the classical decision method and its research and application is attracting attention. After a comparative analysis, it becomes clear that multiple classical methods with IVIFSs’ information have been applied to many practical issues. In this paper, we extended the classical EDAS method based on the Cumulative Prospect Theory (CPT) considering the decision experts (DEs)’ psychological factors under IVIFSs. Taking the fuzzy and uncertain character of the IVIFSs and the psychological preference into consideration, an original EDAS method, based on the CPT under IVIFSs (IVIF-CPT-EDAS) method, is created for multiple-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) issues. Meanwhile, the information entropy method is used to evaluate the attribute weight. Finally, a numerical example for Green Technology Venture Capital (GTVC) project selection is given, some comparisons are used to illustrate the advantages of the IVIF-CPT-EDAS method and a sensitivity analysis is applied to prove the effectiveness and stability of this new method.
A fast vectorized codes for assembly mixed finite element matrices for the generalized Navier–Stokes system in three space dimensions in the MATLAB language are proposed by the MINI element. Vectorization means that the loop over tetrahedra is avoided. Numerical experiments illustrate computational efficiency of the codes. An experimental superconvergence rate for the pressure component is established.
In this study, effect of the environmental factors on the organizational behaviour in higher education sector is analysed and these factors are prioritized. For this aim, first, the environmental criteria affecting the organizational behaviour of higher education sector are selected from the literature. Then, as a solution methodology, (i) some experts are asked to determine pairwise comparison of the criteria, (ii) the linguistic terms are converted to interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy values, and (iii) an interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy DEMATEL approach is developed and applied. According to the results, most of the economic, political, and professional domain criteria are of the cause category.
