摘要
大多用语言描述偏好的决策问题假设语言是均匀、对称分布的,然而有些问题需要采用非均衡语言.针对这一问题,提出一种基于符号化方法的语言计算模型.首先,构造一种基于基础语言集合的加权图,用图形中的点描述非均衡语言;然后,定义图形中任意两点间的曼哈顿距离公式,用于计算非均衡语言的距离;最后,将其用于逼近于理想值的排序方法(TOPSIS),并给出算例.所提出的方法不仅图像化非均衡语言,而且在解决TOPSIS问题时比欧氏距离测度更具优越性.
Many decision problems using linguistic approaches to assess preferences are assumed that the linguistic term set is uniform and symmetrical distributed.However,there exist decision making problems whose assessments are unbalanced linguistic term sets.Theretore,a linguistic computational model based on symbolic models is proposed.Firstly,a weighted graph composed of basic labels is constructed.An unbalanced linguistic label is represented by some vertices in the graph.Then the Manhattan distance measure in the graph of any vertices is defined,with is applived to compute the distance between the two unbalanced linguistic terms.Finally,a decision model is designed to solve the TOPSIS problem.A numerical example is given to illustrate that the proposed method can visualise the unbalanced linguistic term set,and the Manhattan distance is better than the Euclidean distance when solving TOPSIS problems.
