This book studies the urban logistics system from the perspective of reliability, based on the theory of urban logistics and system reliability, with the research of urban logistics system reliability as the main line, with matter element analysis and ant colony algorithm as the main research tools.  On this basis, this book closely focuses on the connotation, influencing factors, measurement, optimization, and other issues of the reliability of urban logistics systems.  By analyzing the influencing factors and constituent contents of the reliability of urban logistics system,...

This book mainly introduces some techniques of decision-making, uncertain reasoning and regression analysis under the hesitant fuzzy environment and expands the applications of hesitant fuzzy sets in solving practical problems. The book pursues three major objectives: (1) to introduce some techniques about decision-making, uncertain reasoning and regression analysis under the hesitant fuzzy environment, (2) to prove these techniques theoretically and (3) to apply the involved techniques to practical problems. The book is especially valuable for readers to understand how hesitant fuzzy set...

This book focuses on the following three key topics in social network large-scale decision-making: structure-heterogeneous information fusion, clustering analysis with multiple measurement attributes, and consensus building considering trust loss. To address the aggregation and distance measurement of structure-heterogeneous evaluation information, we propose a fusion method based on trust and behavior analysis. Then, two clustering algorithms are put forward, including trust Cop-K-means clustering algorithm and compatibility distance-oriented off-center clustering algorithm. The above...

This book provides a comprehensive perspective on the development of distributed linguistic representations in decision making, including the taxonomy of existing distributed linguistic representations, the key elements, and the classifications. It systematically investigates the formation of distributed linguistic representations and the methodology for the distributed linguistic information transformations and unifications, as well as the fusion and consensus reaching. This book studies the distributed linguistic information in MADM and the...

This book introduces the current research progress on hesitant fuzzy decision-making based on probability theory and methods. From the perspectives of theory expansion, information fusion, and information mining, it explores novel perspectives, ideas, and techniques for addressing hesitant fuzzy uncertain decision-making problems and demonstrates them through practical applications and case studies. It aims to provide a reference for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students in the fields of decision analysis, fuzzy theory, and information fusion.
