The maximum expert consensus model (MECM) is an effective model for achieving
consensus during the consensus reaching process (CRP) in group decision making (GDM) …

In group decision making (GDM), individual opinions and unit adjustment costs are essential
factors in reaching a collective consensus. However, in previous studies, most scholars only …

Consensus commonly improves the efficiency of subsequent implementation of the solution
in large-scale group decision making (LSGDM). The maximum expert consensus model …

Consensus reaching process (CRP), as an essential part of group decision making (GDM),
can facilitate more effective consensus by taking human behaviors into account. Extending …

Minimum-cost consensus (MCC) using the optimization-based consensus rule (OR) has
been developed and widely applied to various group decision-making (GDM) contexts …

The consensus model with the minimum cost (or minimum adjustments or minimum
information loss) is a powerful decision tool for consensus building in the group decision …

Consensus reaching processes (CRPs) aim to help decision-makers achieve agreement
regarding the solution to a common decision problem, and consequently play an …

Consensus building is crucial in multi-criteria group decision making (MCGDM) because a
consensual decision outcome is beneficial for implementing the result. However, expert …

Group decision-making combined with uncertainty theory is verified as a more conclusive
theory, by building a bridge between deterministic and indeterministic group decision …

This study proposes a non-threshold consensus model that combines the minimum cost and
maximum consensus-increasing for multi-attribute large group decision-making (MALGDM) …
