Fuzzy TOPSIS method This is an approach based on the TOPSIS technique (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) and the fuzzy set theory. The TOPSIS method is based on the concept that the optimum option has the least distance from the positive ideal solution. It is a linear weighting technique‚ which was first proposed‚ in its crisp version by Chen and Hwang(1992)‚ with reference to Hwang and Yoon(1981). Since then‚ this method has been widely adopted to solve MCDM problems

denotes the identity mapping from V to itself. Equivalently‚ λ is an eigenvalue of T if and only if det(T − λI) = 0. Therefore all eigenvectors are actually the roots of the monic polynomial det(xI −T ) in K. This polynomial is called the characteristic polynomial of T and is denoted by cT (x). Since the degree of cT (x) is n‚ the dimension of V‚ T cannot have more than n eigenvalues counted with multiplicities. If A ∈ K n×n ‚ then A can be regarded as a linear mapping from K n to itself‚ and so the
