The main purpose of this paper is to suggest an approach of multi-criteria decision-making
that combines a hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (HFLTS) with an outranking method …

The modeling and solving of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems under
uncertainty is still a challenging topic. In real-life decision-making, using linguistic terms to …
