Abstract :
In the reality, people use linguistic term rather than numerical information to express their evaluations or preferences in decision making problems. To deal with the qualitative information, we propose a linguistic decision making approach based on the ten-element linguistic-valued lattice implication algebra. In this paper, we discuss the properties of two important operations, i.e. ⊗ and ⊕, in ten-element linguistic lattice implication algebra. In the decision making approach proposed in this paper, we use the operation ⊗ to calculate the weighted criteria in view of its properties. The illustration example shows that the proposed approach seems more effective for decision making under a fuzzy environment with both comparable and incomparable linguistic truth values.
