Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making problems based on the power aggregation operators with hesitant fuzzy uncertain linguistic information. Then, we have developed some power aggregation operators for aggregating hesitant fuzzy uncertain linguistic information: hesitant fuzzy uncertain linguistic power weighted average (HFULPWA) operator and hesitant fuzzy uncertain linguistic power weighted geometric (HFULPWG) operator. Then, we have utilized these operators to develop some approaches to solve the hesitant fuzzy uncertain linguistic multiple attribute decision making problems. Finally, a practical example for evaluating the transformation and upgrading ability of small and medium enterpries is given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.

Keywords: Multiple attribute decision making, hesitant fuzzy uncertain linguistic values, hesitant fuzzy uncertain linguistic power weighted average (HFULPWA) operator, hesitant fuzzy uncertain linguistic power weighted geometric (HFULPWG) operator, transformation and upgrading ability of small and medium enterpries
