Abstract

In this paper, two new extensions of TOPSIS method for Group decision makers and Interval data are presented. In particular, the behavior of some past contributions when using Nadir point at the place of anti ideal point is studied. Otherwise, through simulation studies and simulation, which are mainly based upon smart random instances, a comparison between four algorithms is carried out, its purpose is to show the most effective one.
