Abstract

In view of the good properties of copulas and their effective use in various fuzzy environments, the goal of the current study is to develop a series of aggregation operators for hesitant fuzzy information based on Archimedean copula and cocopula, which are applied to the MADM problems. Firstly, operational laws of hesitant fuzzy elements on the basis of copulas and cocopulas are defined which can show the relevance between hesitant fuzzy values. Secondly, four aggregation operators (AC-HFWA, AC-GHFWA, AC-HFWG, and AC-GHFWG) under hesitant fuzzy environment are developed according to the proposed operational laws. The properties of these operators are also studied in detail, including idempotence, monotonicity, boundedness, etc. Subsequently, five special cases of copula are also given and the special forms of aggregation operator are obtained. In the end, an example is used to illustrate the application of the proposed approach in MADM problems. The influences of different generated functions and parameters are shown, and the feasibility of the proposed method is validated through comparative analyses.
