Generalized Hesitant Fuzzy Sets

Abstract

The hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) is useful to deal with the situation that decision makers (DMs) assign several possible values to a fixed set. It is convenient to collect and deal with DMs’ preferences in group decision making. However, HFSs have the information loss problem and cannot tell DMs from each other in group decision making. In order to deal with these problems, we develop a generalized hesitant fuzzy set (GHFS) in this paper, which is an extension of the HFS.
