Abstract

We propose a new interval type-2 fuzzy (IT2F) programming method for risky multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) problems with IT2F truth degrees, where the criteria exhibit a heterogeneous relationship and decision-makers behave according to bounded rationality. First, we develop a technique to calculate the Banzhaf-based overall perceived utility values of alternatives based on 2-additive fuzzy measures and regret theory. Subsequently, considering pairwise comparisons of alternatives with IT2F truth degrees, we define the Banzhaf-based IT2F risky consistency index (BIT2FRCI) and the Banzhaf-based IT2F risky inconsistency index (BIT2FRII). Next, to identify the optimal weights, an IT2F programming model is established based on the concept that BIT2FRII must be minimized and must not exceed the BIT2FRCI using a fixed IT2F set. Furthermore, we design an effective algorithm using an external archive-based constrained state transition algorithm to solve the established model. Accordingly, the ranking order of alternatives is derived using the Banzhaf-based overall perceived utility values. Experimental studies pertaining to investment selection problems demonstrate the state-of-the-art performance of the proposed method, that is, its strong capability in addressing risky MCDM problems.
