In this paper, with respect to how to express the complex fuzzy information, we proposed the concept of interval-valued linguistic intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IVLIFNs), whose membership and non-membership are represented by interval-valued linguistic terms, then the Hamming distance is defined, further, we also proposed the interval-valued linguistic intuitionistic fuzzy entropy. Considering that the VIKOR method can achieve the maximum “group utility” and minimum of “individual regret”, we extended the VIKOR method to process the interval-valued linguistic intuitionistic fuzzy information (IVLIFI), and proposed an extended VIKOR method for the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems with IVLIFI. And an illustrative example shows the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

This paper proposes the concepts of a neutrosophic number and a trapezoidal neutrosophic number (TNN), the basic operational relations of TNNs, and the score function of TNN. Then, we develop a trapezoidal neutrosophic weighted arithmetic averaging (TNWAA) operator and a trapezoidal neutrosophic weighted geometric averaging (TNWGA) operator to aggregate TNN information and investigate their properties. Furthermore, a multiple attribute decision making method based on the TNWAA and TNWGA operators and the score function of TNN is established under a TNN environment. Finally, an illustrative example of investment alternatives is given to demonstrate the application and effectiveness of the developed approach.

This paper proposes the concept of an interval neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy set (INHFS) and the operational relations of INHFSs. Then, we develop correlation coefficients of INHFSs and investigate the relation between the similarity measures and the correlation coefficients. Furthermore, a multiple attribute decision making method based on the correlation coefficients is established under interval neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy environment. Through the correlation coefficients between each alternative and the ideal alternative, we obtain the ranking order of all alternatives and the best one. Finally, an illustrative example of investment alternatives is given to demonstrate the application and effectiveness of the developed approach.
