TODIM method based on cumulative prospect theory for multiple attribute group decision-making under 2-tuple linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy environment

On the basis of previous scholars' research, we improve the traditional TOmada de Decisao Interativa e Multicriterio (TODIM) along with Cumulative Prospect Theory (CPT) under the 2-tuple linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy sets (2TLPFSs) in this article. First of all, we give some definitions of Pythagorean fuzzy sets, 2TLPFSs, and the 2-tuple linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy weighted average as well as 2-tuple linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy weighted geometric operators. After that, according to the existing researches, we simply introduce the TODIM method and TODIM method under 2TLPFSs. Furthermore, we propose the TODIM method based on CPT (CPT-TODIM) for multiple attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) with 2TLPFSs. Finally, a numerical example about company credit risk assessment is used to explain the new proposed method. Comparing with other methods, there is no doubt that this new method has superiority. To be exact, because the new method fully considers the mental factors of decision makers, it can better solve the uncertainty of MAGDM and improve the rationality of decision-making.

Automated summary

This article improves the traditional TODIM method and combines it with the Cumulative Prospect Theory on the basis of 2-tuple linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy sets. The new method fully considers the mental factors of decision makers, leading to better solutions for the uncertainty of multiple attribute group decision-making.
