Abstract

In Chap. 4, we discuss the multiple criteria decision making problems in which the evaluation values of alternatives over different criteria are given as the hesitant fuzzy decision matrix H (shown as Eq. (5.1)) and the weight information of the criteria are completely known. However, in many cases, the weight information is not completely known.
