Abstract
Energy conservation and emission reduction are important policies vigorously promoted in China. With the continuous popularization of the concept of green transportation, electric vehicles have become a green transportation tool with good development prospects, greatly reducing the pressure on the environment and resources caused by rapid economic growth. The development status of electric vehicles has a significant impact on urban energy security, environmental protection, and sustainable development in China. With the widespread application of new energy vehicles, charging piles have become an important auxiliary infrastructure necessary for the development of electric vehicles. They have significant social and economic benefits, so it is imperative to build electric vehicle charging piles. There are many factors to consider in the scientific layout of electric vehicle charging stations, and the location selection problem of electric vehicle charging stations is a multiple-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problem. Recently, the Combined Compromise Solution (CoCoSo) technique and CRITIC technique have been utilized to deal with MAGDM issues. Spherical fuzzy sets (SFSs) can uncover the uncertainty and fuzziness in MAGDM more effectively and deeply. In this paper, on basis of CoCoSo technique, a novel spherical fuzzy number CoCoSo (SFN-CoCoSo) technique based on spherical fuzzy number cosine similarity measure (SFNCSM) and spherical fuzzy number Euclidean distance (SFNED) is conducted for dealing with MAGDM. Moreover, when the attribute weights are completely unknown, the CRITIC technique is extended to SFSs to acquire the attribute weights based on the SFNCSM and SFNED. Finally, the SFN-CoCoSo technique is utilized for location selection problem of electric vehicle charging stations to prove practicability of the developed technique and compare the SFN-CoCoSo technique with existing techniques to further demonstrate its superiority.

Abstract
Picture fuzzy sets (PFSs) utilize the positive, neutral, negative and refusal membership degrees to describe the behaviours of decision-makers in more detail. In this article, we expound the application of extended TODIM based on cumulative prospect theory under picture fuzzy multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM). In addition, we adopt Information Entropy, which is used to ascertain the weighting vector of attributes to improve the availability of the TODIM method. At last, we exercise the improved TODIM into a numerical case for super market location and testify the effectiveness of this new method by comparing its results with other methods’ results.

Abstract
In this paper, the CODAS (Combinative Distance-based Assessment) is utilized to address some MAGDM issues by using picture 2-tuple linguistic numbers (P2TLNs). At first, some essential concepts of picture 2-tuple linguistic sets (P2TLSs) are briefly reviewed. Then, the CODAS method with P2TLNs is constructed and all calculating procedures are simply depicted. Eventually, an empirical application of green supplier selection has been offered to demonstrate this novel method and some comparative analysis between the CODAS method with P2TLNs and several methods are also made to confirm the merits of the developed method.

Abstract
In this paper, we present the 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic CODAS model based on the traditional fuzzy CODAS (combinative distance-based assessment) model and some fundamental theories of 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic information. Firstly, we briefly review the definition of 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic sets (2TLNSs) and introduce the score function, the accuracy function, operation laws and some aggregation operators of 2TLNNs. Then, the calculation steps of traditional fuzzy CODAS model are briefly presented. Furthermore, by combining the traditional fuzzy CODAS model with 2TLNNs information, the 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic CODAS model is established and the computing steps for multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) are simply depicted. Our presented model is more accurate and effective for considering the combinative form of two distance measurements, including fuzzy weighted Hamming distance (HD) and fuzzy weighted Euclidean distance (ED). Finally, a numerical example for safety assessment of construction project has been given to illustrate this new model and some comparisons between 2TLNNs CODAS model and two 2TLNNs aggregation operators are also made to further illustrate the advantages of the new method.

Abstract
In this paper, we present the 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic MABAC model based on the traditional MABAC (multi-attributive border approximation area comparison) model and some fundamental theories of 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic information. Firstly, we briefly review the definition of 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic sets (2TLNNSs) and introduce the score function, accuracy function, operation laws and some aggregation operators of 2TLNNs. Then, the calculation steps of traditional MABAC model are briefly presented. Furthermore, combine the traditional MABAC model with 2TLNNs information, the 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic MABAC model is established for multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) and the computing steps are simply depicted. In our presented model; it’s more accuracy and effective for computing the distance between each alternatives and the border approximation area (BAA). Finally, a numerical example for safety assessment of construction project has been given to illustrate this new model and some comparisons between 2TLNNs MABAC model and two 2TLNNs aggregation operators are also conducted to further illustrate advantages of the new method.
