Multiple attributes decision making (MADM) is a subfield of decision theory that involves evaluating and selecting alternatives based on multiple, often conflicting, criteria. It employs various mathematical and computational techniques to analyze preferences and trade-offs among different attributes, facilitating informed decision-making in complex scenarios.

Key research themes

1. How can advanced fuzzy set theories enhance Multi-Attribute Decision Making under uncertainty?

This research area focuses on extending classical fuzzy set frameworks to better capture and handle the inherent uncertainty, vagueness, and indeterminacy present in multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) problems. Advanced fuzzy set models such as neutrosophic sets, Pythagorean fuzzy sets, Fermatean fuzzy sets, and their interval or linguistic extensions provide more expressive power by considering degrees of truth, indeterminacy, and falsity independently. The methodological developments include defining new aggregation operators, distance measures, and ranking methods within these fuzzy frameworks to support more robust decision analysis where information may be incomplete, inconsistent, or linguistic in nature.

Key finding: Introduces a framework for MADM based on single-valued neutrosophic sets (characterized by independent truth, indeterminacy, and falsity membership degrees), addressing situations where attribute weights are partially or... Read more
Key finding: Proposes new aggregation operators based on Fermatean fuzzy sets which generalize intuitionistic and Pythagorean fuzzy sets by relaxing sum of cubes of membership and nonmembership degrees. The introduced Hamacher interactive... Read more

2. What role do hybrid and integrated MADM models play in enhancing decision support for complex engineering design and industrial applications?

This theme covers methodological advancements integrating multiple MADM techniques and decision support tools to tackle the complexity and multifaceted nature of industrial problems, especially in engineering design and strategic planning. Hybrid models often combine fuzzy logic, multi-criteria weighting methods, and rule-based expert systems for robust handling of qualitative and quantitative criteria, uncertainty, and preference elicitation. These integrative approaches enhance decision quality in contexts like product design evaluation, land use planning, and performance assessment by enabling systematic analysis within multi-attribute frameworks supported by computational platforms.

Key finding: Proposes an integrated MADM model combining fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) for determining design feature weights, fuzzy Pugh Matrix for initial screening, and fuzzy VIKOR for ranking design concepts in engineering... Read more

3. How do attribute scaling, weighting, and consensus methods influence trade-offs and final rankings in multi-attribute decision making?

This theme investigates methodological issues related to attribute range effects, weight determination, normalization, and consensus modeling in MADM. Properly accounting for how attribute scales and decision-maker opinion weights impact aggregation and ranking results is critical for meaningful trade-offs between conflicting criteria. Approaches include analyzing how attribute range affects preference intensity and rankings, optimizing expert opinion weights to maximize consensus, and exploring normalization methods to balance criteria differing in units or scales. These methods ensure more reliable, interpretable, and justifiable decision outcomes.

Key finding: Demonstrates that the perceived differences between attribute levels and resulting trade-offs depend strongly on the attribute range presented; narrow ranges induce greater sensitivity and wider spacing in scale values than... Read more
Key finding: Proposes a methodology to derive attribute weights in fuzzy multi-attribute group decision-making by assessing the consensus among experts using a closeness coefficient measure relative to most and least compromising... Read more
