Abstract

As an effective tool to portray the uncertainty of the objects, hesitant fuzzy preference relation (HFPR) reflects the pairwise comparison results given by decision makers through several possible fuzzy numbers. In the paper, we present the retrospection of the decision-making theory based on HFPRs. We first introduce the development and definition of the HFPR. Later on, we outline decision making with HFPRs from the following perspectives: 1) Weights-deriving models, 2) consistency measures and inconsistency-improving algorithms, 3) group consensus-reaching models. Decision-making theories of different extended forms based on HFPRs and some applications of the relevant decision-making models are furtherly provided. The paper ends up with the prospects for future research on decision making with HFPRs.

Key words

hesitant fuzzy preference relations / weights-deriving models / consistency measures / group consensus / decision-making models
