The Ordered Weighted Geometric Operator: Properties and Application in MCDM Problems

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing ((STUDFUZZ,volume 90))

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the Ordered Weighted Geometric (OWG) operator. The OWG operator is based on the geometric mean and the OWA operator. It is a fuzzy majority guided aggregation operator proposed to aggregate information given on a ratio scale. Therefore, it allows us to incorporate the concept of fuzzy majority in problems where the information is provided using a ratio scale. Its properties are studied and an application for multicriteria decision making problems with multiplicative preference relations is presented 1.
