An Approach to Linguistic Multiple Attribute Decision-Making Based on Unbalanced Linguistic Generalized Heronian Mean Aggregation Operator

This paper proposes an approach to linguistic multiple attribute decision-making problems with interactive unbalanced linguistic assessment information by unbalanced linguistic generalized Heronian mean aggregation operators. First, some generalized Heronian mean aggregation operators with unbalanced linguistic information are proposed, involving the unbalanced linguistic generalized arithmetic Heronian mean operator and the unbalanced linguistic generalized geometric Heronian mean operator. For the situation that the input arguments have different degrees of importance, the unbalanced linguistic generalized weighted arithmetic Heronian mean operator and the unbalanced linguistic generalized weighted geometric Heronian mean operator are developed. Then we investigate their properties and some particular cases. Finally, the effectiveness and universality of the developed approach are illustrated by a low-carbon tourist instance and comparison analysis. A sensitivity analysis is performed as well to test the robustness of proposed methods.
