Fuzzy MCDM
DEFINITION
is defined to be a fuzzy triangular number if its
membership function

The basic operations on fuzzy triangular numbers
3 Borgulya I
Let
i
(x) denote the membership function for
the fuzzy number n
i
.
n
i
dominates (or outranks) n
j
, written as n
i
>
n
j
, if and only if e
ij
= 1 and e
ji
< Q, where Q is
some fixed positive fraction less than one.

EXAMPLE Suppose that the importances of
two alternatives A1 and A2 are represented
by the two fuzzy triangular numbers n
l
=
(0.2, 0.4, 0.6) and n
2
= (0.4,0.7,0.9),
respectively.
Next, observe that e
21
= 1 and e
12
= 0.4 < Q
= 0.9. Therefore, the best alternative is A1.

Crisp model:
Fuzzy model:
the jth criterion is a fuzzy triangular number
denoted as a
ij
= (a
ijl
, a
ijm
, a
iju
). Weights are
denoted as w
j
= (W
yl
, W
jm
, W
ju
).

Crisp model:
Fuzzy model:
where a
Kj
, a
Lj
, and w
j
are fuzzy triangular numbers.
Alternative A
K
dominates alternative A
L
if and only
if the numerator in R is greater than the
denominator (R greater than or equal to one)

are less than Q (= 0.9).
Crisp model:
The basic concept of this method is that the
selected best alternative should have the shortest
distance from the ideal solution and the farthest
distance from the negative-ideal solution in a
geometrical (i.e., Euclidean) sense.

Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal
Solution
Step 1: Construct the normalized decision matrix
Step 2: Construct the weighted normalized decision
matrix V = (r
ij
W
j
).
Step 3: Determine the ideal and the negative-ideal
solutions. The ideal (A*) and the negative-ideal (A-)
solutions are defined as follows:

Step 4: Calculate the separation measure.
Step 5: Calculate the relative closeness to the ideal
solution
Step 6: Rank the preference order (C

)
