Abstract

In this paper, a bipolar 2-tuple fuzzy linguistic representation model and some properties of this model are studied. A linguistic weighted arithmetic averaging operator is proposed to aggregate the information of bipolar 2-tuple fuzzy linguistic representation model. Based on bipolar 2-tuple model, an approach to multiple attribute decision making with linguistic information is developed. Finally, an example is given.
