| Summary: | Analytic network process (ANP) and decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory
(DEMATEL) are two commonly used multi-criteria decision making methods in the
literature. The integration between these two methods has been widely investigated
thanks to their mutual compatibility and the fascinating advantages that both offers.
However, it was noticed that the DEMATEL-based ANP (DANP) method was not
exposed to the indeterminacy and uncertainty problems. Therefore, this study aims to
extend the DANP method based on the hesitant bipolar-valued neutrosophic set. In
order to achieve this main objective, firstly, the hesitant bipolar-valued neutrosophic
set is proposed to deal with the indeterminacy, hesitancy and bipolar judgmental
thinking in the decision-making problem. The basic operational laws, union,
intersection and complement for hesitant bipolar-valued neutrosophic elements are
defined. Secondly, this research established a hesitant bipolar-valued neutrosophic
Shapley normalized weighted Bonferroni mean (HBN-SNWBM) operator to improve
the traditional approaches that have neglected the significance of the interrelationship
among the aggregated arguments and their coalitions. Along with the proposed
aggregation operator, this research investigated and proved their desirable properties
such as commutativity, monotonicity, idempotency and boundedness. |
