Abstract

Quantum decision theory has been successfully applied to multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) to model decision-makers’ interference and superposition effects in recent years. Existing quantum models assume that interference effects among decision-makers are symmetric. However, asymmetric interference effects have been ignored. We propose a VIKOR-based linguistic distribution assessments (LDAs) model considering asymmetric interference effects in a quantum decision scenario. Firstly, we combine VIKOR with LDAs to obtain a compromise solution in a fuzzy multi-attribute decision scenario with conflicting attributes. Secondly, an aggregation framework based on quantum probability theory is constructed to explore group preferences considering asymmetric interference effects among decision-makers. Finally, the model is compared with other methods to confirm its validity and stability.
