Abstract
- In this paper, a decision model based on a fuzzy soft set and ideal solution approaches is proposed. This new decision-making method uses the divide-and-conquer algorithm, and it is different from the existing algorithm (the choice value based approach and the comparison score based approach). The ideal solution is generated according to each attribute (pros or cons of the attributes, with or without constraints) of the fuzzy soft sets. Finally, the weighted Hamming distance is used to compute all possible alternatives and get the final result. The core of the decision process is the design phase, the existing decision models based on soft sets mostly neglect the analysis of attributes and decision objectives. This algorithm emphasizes the correct expression of the purpose of the decision maker and the analysis of attributes, as well as the explicit decision function. Additionally, this paper shows the fact that the rank reversal phenomenon occurs in the comparison score algorithm, and an example is provided to illustrate the rank reversal phenomenon. Experiments indicate that the decision model proposed in this paper is efficient and will be useful for practical problems. In addition, as a general model, it can be extended to a wider range of fields, such as classifications, optimization problems, etc.
