Abstract

In this paper, we consider the factor of the decision maker’s risk preference, and define the left and right deviation degree respectively. Besides, we propose a new formula of the fuzzy degree. Then we get the multiattribute matrix of fuzzy numbers. We rank fuzzy numbers with the help of an ideal solution. Some numerical examples are displayed to illustrate the validity and advantages of the proposed ranking method.
