The continuous ordered weighted geometric operator and its application to decision making

The aim of this paper is to develop a continuous ordered weighted geometric (C-OWG) operator, which is based on the continuous ordered weighted averaging (C-OWA) operator recently introduced by the author and the geometric mean. We study some desirable properties of the C-OWG operator, and present its application to decision making with interval multiplicative preference relation, and finally, an illustrative example is pointed out.
