Normal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (NIFNs), which use normal fuzzy numbers to express their membership and non-membership functions, can reflect the evaluation information exactly in different dimensions. In this paper, we are committed to apply NIFNs to multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM)...

A linguistic decision aiding technique for multi-criteria decision is presented. We define a relation between alternatives as multi-criteria semantic dominance (MCSD). It adopts the similar ideal of the stochastic dominance by utilizing the partial information of the decision maker’s...

This study employs back-propagation neural networks (BPN) to improve the forecasting accuracy of air passenger and air cargo demand from Japan to Taiwan. The factors which influence air passenger and air cargo demand are identified, evaluated and analysed in detail. The results reveal that some...
