Abstract

In this paper, we focus on the fusion of heterogeneous incomplete hesitant preference relations (including hesitant fuzzy preference relations and hesitant multiplicative preference relations) under group decision making settings. First, some simple formulae are developed to derive a priority weight vector from an incomplete hesitant fuzzy preference relation or an incomplete hesitant multiplicative preference relation based on the logarithmic least squares method. Based on the priority weight vector, an induced fuzzy or multiplicative preference relation can be derived for an incomplete hesitant preference relation. Moreover, the consistency indices of hesitant fuzzy preference relations and hesitant multiplicative preference relations are defined. Afterwards, an approach to group decision making based on incomplete hesitant fuzzy preference relations and incomplete hesitant multiplicative preference relations is developed to deal with group decision making problems with multiple decision organizations. Finally, three examples are used to illustrate the proposed approach.
