In real‐life group decision‐making environment, different decision‐makers (DMs) might be
hesitant to provide their evaluation by more than two linguistic terms with positive, neutral …

Hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (HFLTS), which permits decision makers to use several
linguistic terms to assess a variable, is a useful tool to deal with situations in which people …

Based on multi-granular hesitant linguistic theory and unbalanced linguistic information, this
paper proposes multi-granular unbalanced hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set, which can …

To obtain reliable results in a qualitative multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM)
problem, how to retain the evaluation information as much as possible and how to determine …

In practice, when the frequency of a linguistic term in evaluation information is greater than
one, a consensus has been reached and this frequency is regarded to be one by default …

In this paper, we propose a new group decision making (GDM) method based on the
acceptable multiplicative consistency and consensus of hesitant fuzzy linguistic preference …

As a generalization to hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (HFLTS), double hierarchy hesitant
fuzzy linguistic term set (DHHFLTS) is presented which circumvents the weakness of HFLTS …

Extended hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (EHFLTS) is an effective means to assess the
hesitant qualitative information in multi-criteria group decision-making environment. We …

Uncertainty and impreciseness usually exist widely in decision making problems nowadays.
When eliciting assessments over alternatives, decision makers tend to have some hesitancy …

This paper proposes multiplicative interval linguistic hesitant fuzzy sets (MILHFSs) to denote
