Abstract:

Due to the desirable characteristic of the Bonferroni mean (BM) that it can capture the interrelationship between input arguments, and in order to provide the properties and the modelling capability of the BMs under hesitant fuzzy environment, we explore some new hesitant fuzzy Bonferroni means (HFBMs). The properties and the special cases of HFBMs are studied in detail. We specially define a concept of hesitant Bonferroni element (HBE), which is considered as a ‘bonding satisfaction’ factor used as a calculation unit in the HFBM. The HBE can reflect the correlation between hesitant fuzzy arguments, which makes the HFBM have particular advantages in aggregating arguments. In addition, the weighted hesitant fuzzy Bonferroni mean (WHFBM) is also proposed considering different importance degrees of input arguments. Furthermore, the procedure of multi‐criteria decision making based on the WHFBM is given under hesitant fuzzy environment as typical applications, which has much sense in theory and practice for the BM.
