Abstract:A multi-criteria decision making method is proposed based on granular computing in hesitant fuzzy setting. Firstly, the possibility degree is defined for comparing hesitant fuzzy elements in a hesitant fuzzy set and an additive consistent fuzzy preference matrix is constructed based on the defined possibility degrees. Secondly, the criteria weights are determined by the preorder entropies and the similarity degree of preorder granular structures. Thirdly, an ordered vector is obtained by integrating the corresponding fuzzy preference matrices with the criteria weights. The criteria weights are computed from the evaluation information content and the relations between orders of the individual criteria and the whole evaluation system. The final ranking is obtained by weighting the ranking order under each criterion. Finally, a case study is utilized to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.
